Here’s an overview and a trailer:

FuRyu mentioned in its latest shareholder report that it would be temporarily suspending its games business. That had fans concerned that the company would no longer be making titles like The Alliance Alive and Work x Work – at least for the near future.

Thankfully, it looks like the situation is better than expected. FuRyu issued a press release today clarifying things, and has confirmed that only smartphone games will be suspended. Console titles will still be developed.

FuRyu is known in the Nintendo scene for its RPGs The Legend of Legacy and The Alliance Alive. The studio is also publishing Work x Work and Beyblade Burst: Battle Zero on Switch in Japan later this year.

In its latest shareholder report, FuRyu stated that it will “temporarily suspend” its games business, though current titles in production will not be affected. President and CEO Takashi Mishima explained that the company was “struggling to recover our heavily invested games business, and growth in the main business was also sluggish, which led to a major disparity from the overall initial plan.”
