VS Studio
Katsuhiro Harada, director and producer who'd worked on the Tekken series since 1994 until he left Bandai Namco last year, launched a new gamedev company: VS Studio is built on the knowledge and passion the team has cultivated "over many years on the front lines of game development."
The studio is a subsidiary of SNK Corporation. Together, they will "collaborate on game software development to further strengthen their development capabilities."
VS Studio's philosophy is "Beyond tradition, crafted to perfection." It was established with the aim of combining technology, sensibility, and world-class expertise to pursue the ultimate, according to the announcement.
"From a free, open, and spacious environment, we will generate new ideas and create memorable games."
"The 'VS' in VS Studio holds various meanings. It represents our roots in 'Video game Soft (VS Development Division),' the spirit of 'Versus' challenging tradition, and many other meanings symbolizing innovation and challenge, such as 'Visionary Standard,' 'Volition Shift,' and 'Vanguard Spirit.'"
The studio's website doesn't have much to offer in terms of game ideas, but you can find photos of its office there.
Shuhei Yoshida, another famous name – former President of SIE Worldwide Studios, already congratulated Harada. Hopefully, the company brings something unique to the gaming scene soon.
