Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi joins hands with NetEase Games to make Nagoshi Studio
NetEase Games have announced that they will be establishing a new game development studio with Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi as its president and CEO.
The new studio, which will be known as Nagoshi Studio, will be headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, and will mark a new beginning for Toshihiro, who has been with Sega since 1989.
Nagoshi Studio will be focusing on developing high-quality console titles, which will be released worldwide, and it’s highly likely that they will primarily be PlayStation exclusives.
