Yuji Okada becomes the new director of Dragalia Lost

Dragalia Lost is making a notable change in its development structure. Hiroki Matsuura, the game’s original director, has announced that he is leaving the project. In his place will be Yuji Okada.

Below are messages from both Matsuura and Okada:

Hello, everyone! This is Matsuura, director of Dragalia Lost.

As of now, I’ll be handing the title of director over to Mr. Okada.

I’ve been responsible for Dragalia Lost from planning up through development, and then through its first 10 months after release. It’s thanks to all of you who play the game that we’ve come as far as we have. I am deeply grateful to all of you for playing.

It is a bit sad to be leaving the project, but Mr. Okada has a wealth of experience developing and managing games—including social games. He assisted in the final stages of development for Dragalia Lost, so I have no worries about leaving this game in his hands.

I believe that Mr. Okada’s fresh perspective will allow him to expand the game, both in terms of story as well as game systems. I’m as excited as anyone to see where he takes it!

Dragalia Lost is only going to keep getting bigger, so I hope you’ll continue to support the game.

Hiroki Matsuura

Hello! I’m Yuji Okada from BlazeGames, and Cygames has invited me to take over as director for Dragalia Lost. I’ve been involved with the game since before its release, but now I’ll be taking the reins from Mr. Matsuura.

I want to continue creating for and managing it in a way that brings even more joy to you, the players, so I hope for your continued support.

My first What’s Ahead for Dragalia Lost will be posted for you all to read soon, so be sure to check it out!
