AQ Interactive/Artoon working on The Last Story

Ever since The Last Story was announced, we knew that Nintendo and Mistwalker have been working on the game. However, there is one additional company that is involved with the project: AQ Interactive. AQ has been handling most development aspects of The Last Story. Of course, this mostly relates to programming as well as other technical elements.

Artoon was actually rumored to be developing The Last Story for quite some time. However, AQ Interactive absorbed Artoon in addition to Cavia not too long ago. As we discovered in the latest edition of Iwata Asks, this is the first time in seven years that Blue Dragon director Takuya Matsumoto (formally of Artoon) has worked with Hironobu Sakaguchi.
