Too Kyo Games is a Tokyo-based studio founded in 2017 by Kotaro Uchikoshi, director and writer for999 and Virtue’s Last Reward, and Kazutaka Kodaka of Danganronpa fame. In 2019, they announced their new game Death March Club, which is set to come to Windows PC in 2020.  Additionally, their FMV adventure game Death Come True is set to release in June 2020 for Android, iOS, Windows, Nintendo Switch, and the PlayStation 4.

On the other hand, Akatsuki is a smartphone game producer for both Android and iOS. Over the past few years, Akatsuki has partnered with Square Enix (Romancing SaGa Re; universe), Kadokawa (Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine), and currently produce Jazz-On, a mobile game centered around two battling Jazz clubs at a high school in Yokohama.

Currently, there is no information about which platforms Tribe Nine will be released on. However, Akatsuki primarily produces mobile games, so this might be a joint project that could potentially see a release on a mobile platform.
