in a information Kadokawa Games explained to fans that they decided to stop production given the current state of game development and other snooping factors. However, this new episode gives new impetus to a niche franchise whose origins date back to the Famicom era but never gained international notoriety. Kadokawa Games won’t have time to reveal much about the game, which was supposed to be released in 2020, and didn’t mention the status of Code Zero, a franchise reboot that should return to its origins.
Before the cancellation was announced, there were notable changes within Kadokawa Games, with the departure of producer Yoshimi Yasuda and the team responsible for games such as Root Letter, Metal Max Xeno, God Wars and most recently Relayer. Now independent, the team will be called Dragami Games.
When it comes to video games, Kadokawa Games’ in-house production status is thus rather vague, and its ambitions may be limited to its two main subsidiaries, Spike Chunsoft, and most importantly, a FromSoftware studio, which is doing pretty well so far.
