Visions of Mana Director Leaves NetEase for Square Enix

知名游戏制作人吉田亮介离开网易,加盟史克威尔艾尼克斯

近日,备受瞩目的消息传出:《梦幻模拟战》系列制作人,曾任卡普空游戏设计师的吉田亮介宣布离开网易,并于12月加入史克威尔艾尼克斯。这一举动在业内引发广泛关注。

史克威尔艾尼克斯新角色不明

吉田亮介在12月2日的推特(X)上公布了这一消息,但他并未透露更多关于离开藕花工作室的原因,以及在史克威尔艾尼克斯的具体工作内容和项目。

作为藕花工作室的核心成员,吉田亮介在最新《梦幻模拟战》作品的开发中扮演了关键角色。他与来自卡普空和万代南梦宫的团队成员合作,成功打造了这款画面精美、备受好评的游戏。游戏于2024年8月30日发行后,吉田亮介才正式宣布离开工作室。

网易缩减在日投资

考虑到网易(藕花工作室母公司)近期正在缩减对日本工作室的投资,吉田亮介的离职并不令人意外。彭博社8月30日的一篇文章指出,网易及其竞争对手腾讯在通过日本工作室发行几款成功游戏后,决定止损。藕花工作室便是受此影响的公司之一,网易已将东京办事处的员工规模缩减至少数。

两家公司都在为中国市场的复苏做准备,这需要重新分配资金和人力等资源。由《黑神话:悟空》的成功可以看出这种转变,该游戏在2024年金摇杆奖上荣获最佳视觉设计和年度最佳游戏奖。

2020年,由于中国游戏市场长期低迷,这两家公司决定加大在日本的投资。然而,这些娱乐巨头与小型日本开发商之间似乎存在摩擦。前者更倾向于将游戏推向全球市场,而后者则更关注对其知识产权(IP)的控制。

尽管网易和腾讯不打算完全撤出日本市场,考虑到他们与卡普空和万代南梦宫的良好关系,他们正在采取保守措施以减少损失,并为中国游戏行业的复苏做好准备。
