Arc System Works announced that it is establishing a new development studio, Takumi, in Tokyo on November 2. According to the company, the studio is intended to serve as a strategic hub for global collaboration and to move beyond conventional development frameworks. The studio's primary objective is to bolster the company's production capabilities, specifically for a new fighting game project that has been selected for the 'IP360' subsidy program by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In conjunction with the opening, the company has initiated an expanded recruitment drive for new creators.
