Tomonobu Itagaki – the Japanese designer best known for creating Tecmo’s Dead or Alive series and rebooted Ninja Gaiden games – has announced his new company Apex Game Studios, which is currently ‘incubating’ an NFT-focused MMORPG for mobile and PC names Warrior.
Itagaki shared his announcement on Twitter, explaining Apex Game Studios would specialise in creating “high-quality and immersive” triple-A “Web3” titles – Web 3.0 being the umbrella term incorporating (frequently controversial) technologies such as blockchain and NFT.
Apex Game Studios’ first project, Warrior, is an MMORPG developed in Unreal Engine that’s due to launch in Q1 next year. Unfortunately, details remain pretty limited at this juncture, with the official website being primarily interested in detailing the NFT economy at Warrior’s core.
