As the director and producer respectively, Hidemaro Fujibayashi and Eiji Aonuma are two of the most important people working on the Zelda series currently and they recently finished up Tears of the Kingdom as director and producer respectively. Both have been involved with the franchise for decades at this point. Fujibayashi started out with Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages in 2001 while Aonuma has been around even longer – specifically in 1998 with Ocarina of Time.
Fujibayashi and Aonuma, speaking with RTL Nieuws, were recently asked if they’re afraid of getting “stuck” in the sense that they only continue to work on Zelda games. However, both don’t seem to view it that way.

During a panel at Anime Expo today, Bandai Namco unveiled Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash. The game will be launching on Switch “soon”.
Jujutsu Kaisen marks the first time the series will be appearing on consoles. It’s based on the popular manga that started in 2018.
At Anime Expo 2023 today, Bandai Namco revealed new details about Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections – specifically concerning a new story mode starring Boruto plus new characters Nanashi and Merz.
In the story mode, Boruto meets Nanashi, a navigator from the popular online game Ninja Heroes. This sets various events in motion that leads them into a battle involving the entire ninja world. Ultimately things will come down to whether Boruto can stop the crisis of the Fifth Great Ninja War. And speaking of that, Merz is a mysterious man who plans to start the war. We even see Naruto and Sasuke battling it out at one point. Nanashi and Merz are the two characters who hold the key of the story.
