Will remain producer of Senran Kagura series
Kenichiro Takaki, producer of the long-runningSenran Kaguraseries, has left developer/publisher Marvelous in order to pursue new projects elsewhere. Takaki will, however, remain producer of theSenran Kaguraseries.
Speaking in Japanese publicationFamitsu, Takaki spoke of pressure brought about by the recent rulings on sexually-suggestive content in video games. Last month,Takaki stated that restrictions from industry giants such as Sonyhad, in his opinion, rendered his in-development fighterSenran Kagura 7EVEN“impossible” to release.
According to the Famitsu interview (translated by Ryokutya2089) Takaki felt as if “a thread had snapped within him” noting that although he respects regulations as they apply to specific genres, he feels it sets an unwelcome standard. As producer, Takakiwill finish up his work withSenran Kagura 7EVEN, before moving on to a newproject for Cygames Inc, which is expected to be a more demure fantasy adventure.
