XSEED: “No damage control needed” for relationship with Marvelous
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Following the news that Muramasa: The Demon Blade would no longer be published by XSEED, the company has said that the relationship between Marvelous and XSEED is perfectly fine. An XSEED rep has also given some insight as to why Ignition will now be publishing Muramasa.
“No damage control needed, things with us and Marvelous are fine as they are still a very important partner of ours. A business decision had to be made regarding the future of Muramasa: The Demon Blade and we respect their decision. And I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Ignition Entertainment is the new publisher, so the title is in good hands.”
This doesn’t come as a surprise to me. If there was a quarrel between the two companies, I would’ve expected something to be leaked about the reason why. The fact that neither XSEED nor Marvelous seems inclined to talk about any such details shows that it must have been a quick and clean break. It’s good to know that Muramasa will not be affected, though.
