Itagaki Games LLC, the studio headed by Dead or Alive and modern Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu Itagaki, consolidated under a new Itagaki Games Co., Ltd name. While the studio released a dissolution notice in October 7, 2024, the developers will continue operating under the new name. [Thanks, GameBiz!]
The studio was originally reported by GameBiz to have closed down its doors for good. However, it was later clarified that Itagaki Games consolidated and would continue operating after the studio changed its name on September 2024 to Itagaki Games Co., Ltd.
Itagaki Games was originally established in January 2021 after the developer left his Representative Director role at Valhalla Game Studios for a new Prime Advisor role. Valhalla Game Studios was founded by Itagaki and Satoshi Kanematsu on 2008. The studio would go on to develop Devil’s Third which released for the Wii U in 2015. Valhalla Game Studios later disappeared after merging with studio Soleil on December 2021.
Itagaki Games founder Tomonobu Itagaki originally announced upon the new studio’s founding that its first game would appear for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. However, no formal announcement of its first title has been made by the studio since its inception.
