Hideki Kamiya, formerly of Capcom and PlatinumGames, is now out in the world as a civilian. The legendary director is responsible for some of the best action games ever made, in particular Bayonetta, but following his departure from Platinum earlier this year (a company he co-founded) it doesn't seem like he's going to be involved much in games anymore.
Crunchyroll adding games to subscription service
08.11.2023 - 09:45 / gamesindustry.biz
Crunchyroll is the latest streaming service to add mobile games to its offering.
The Sony-owned anime broadcaster introduced the Crunchyroll Game Vault on November 7, which will be available for subscribers of the service's Mega and Ultimate Fan tiers.
According to Eurogamer, the Crunchyroll Game Vault will initially only be available on Android (via the Google Play store) followed by iOS in the near future.
The service will launch with five games, including the mobile debuts of Momo-pi's Captain Velvet: The Jump+ Dimensions, WayForward's River City Girls, and Ota Imon Studios' Wolfstride.
Silver Lining Studio's Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery and Afterburn's Inbento will also be available to play.
Earlier this year, GamesIndustry.biz spoke to Momo-pi about developing Japanese manga publisher Shueisha's first video game.
Crunchyroll's move into games follows Netflix's expansion, which has seen less than 1% of its total subscribers playing its games each day.

If you wish Ghostwire: Tokyo was an actual horror game, try the demo for Chiyo
The Xmas season approaches, but for some of us, Halloween never ends. I've just finished (well, reached a grisly end within) the demo for Chiyo, a first-person horror game from Nimbus Games, set in Edo era Japan, in which you are a plucky young mystic sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate's Magical Arcane Division to investigate and cleanse a spooky abandoned mansion on the coast.
