Visions of Mana Director Leaves NetEase for Square Enix

知名游戏制作人吉田良介离开网易,加盟史克威尔艾尼克斯

这则令人意外的消息引发了业界关注:知名游戏制作人吉田良介,曾参与《怪物猎人》系列开发,并担任《玛娜幻想》总监,已离开网易,正式加入史克威尔艾尼克斯。12月2日,吉田良介本人在其推特(X)账号上公布了这一消息。

史克威尔艾尼克斯新角色尚不明确

吉田良介在离开藕花工作室后,其在史克威尔艾尼克斯的具体角色和参与项目尚未公开。

作为藕花工作室的一员,吉田良介在《玛娜幻想》的开发中扮演了关键角色。该游戏汇集了来自卡普空和万代南梦宫的人才,凭借其新颖的画面和升级后的游戏体验,取得了显著成功。游戏于2024年8月30日发行,随后吉田良介宣布离开工作室。

在同一篇推特(X)帖子中,吉田良介兴奋地宣布他将于12月加入史克威尔艾尼克斯。然而,关于他未来将在哪些项目中发挥作用,目前还没有更多信息。

网易缩减在日本市场的投资

鉴于网易(藕花工作室母公司)据报道正在缩减对日本工作室的投资,吉田良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,网易已将其在东京的员工规模缩减至少数。

两家公司也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复苏的迹象,该游戏在2024年金摇杆奖上获得了最佳视觉设计和年度最佳游戏等奖项。

2020年,由于中国游戏市场长期低迷,这两家公司决定在日本市场押注。然而,这些娱乐巨头与小型日本开发商之间似乎存在摩擦。前者更关注将游戏授权推向全球市场,而后者则专注于控制其知识产权。

虽然网易和腾讯并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。
