According to the press release, Nagoshi-san will take the role of Representative Director and CEO. Nagoshi Studio will be focused on creating high-quality console games for the global market, with ‘full authority to manage and create the kinds of games that they are passionate about’, said NetEase. Nagoshi-san also shared a letter of his own on the official website of Nagoshi Studio, aimed at his fans. Needless to say, we’ll be eyeing closely the progress of this newly established game development studio. Stay tuned! One of my goals at this studio is to create an open atmosphere. This may sound like an overly simplistic goal. But even the most talented creators cannot fully unleash their abilities in isolation. I believe that the first step to creating high-quality titles and delivering the essence of entertainment with strong motivation starts with creating an open atmosphere in the studio. This means having open-ended discussions that ignore seniority and hierarchy. This means not fearing mistakes while also not being afraid to correct them, and treating failures as assets. This means not giving up on reaching the ideal, and fighting to get closer to it. This may seem so simple, but the simplest things can unexpectedly be the hardest to do, and at the same time the most important. Nagoshi Studio is committed to creating content for the world to enjoy from this atmosphere.
