You may recall that, a few months ago, Hideaki Itsuno officially announced at the end of summer that he was leaving Capcom. Itsuno had been a part of the company for over 30 years. When Itsuno had confirmed the news, he also mentioned his future plans, saying that he will “start developing a new game in a new environment”.
Well, we now have a better idea of what he meant. LightSpeed Studios, a subsidiary of Tencent Games, has announced the formation of a studio called LightSpeed Japan Studio that will operate across 2 locations in Tokyo and Osaka. This studio will be led by Itsuno, and will be focused on developing original AAA action video games.
How awful.
Probably wanted to get away from all the dei/bridge bullplop.
