30 years ago, Hideaki Itsuno bid farewell to Capcom in September 2024, but he didn’t say goodbye to the world of game development. Instead, he hinted that he was moving on to create a fresh project in a different setting. It appears LightSpeed Japan Studio is this new setting, so we’re all curious about what Itsuno is cooking up now. Many experienced developers have ventured out on their own, including Hironobu Sakaguchi, the mastermind behind Final Fantasy, who released Fantasian under his independent studio Mistwalker and is currently working on something exciting as well.
Just like the director of hit Capcom games such as Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma, Itsuno possesses a diverse range of talents and experiences. Keep an eye out on this space as we eagerly anticipate his future endeavors – more updates coming soon here at Shacknews!
