Team Ninja being restructured
Posted on March 25, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
Team Ninja is, in one way, no more. Parent company Tecmo Koei has announced a restructure for the studio today, essentially splitting it in two. Team Ninja will now be reorganized into two “Ichigaya Development” divisions.
Ichigaya Development Group 1 will be led by Yosuke Hayashi, who has been the boss of Team Ninja for the past several years. Managing director Keisuke Kikuchi will be put in charge of Ichigaya Development Group 2.
Team Ninja may not have been what it used to be as of late, but it has been around for close to two decades. The reorganization news is a bit saddening – even though the studio will still be around in some form.
