Inafune founds new studio

Keiji Inafune, the former Capcom salaryman who intently burnt bridges with his long-term employer, is rumoured to have founded his own indie studio.

The Mega Man creator previously indicated he would not join another developer nor publisher after his shock resignation as Capcom’s international development boss.

The likelihood of him joining an established Capcom rival now appears remote, as news reports suggest he has launched his own company, called ‘Comcept’, based near Osaka.

An unconfirmed report by Sliconera quotes an analyst who appears to been handed a new business card from Inafune – revealing the identity of his new enterprise.

Develop has the full story.
