Geschichte
Japan Studio hat seinen Sitz in Tokio und wurde am 16. November 1993 gegründet.[1]
Anfang 2021 gaben mehrere Mitarbeiter von Japan Studio bekannt, dass sie das Unternehmen verlassen werden. Laut mehreren Quellen, die mit Video Games Chronicle sprachen, hatte Sony die meisten Verträge für das Studio außerhalb des ASOBI-Teams nicht verlängert, weil das Studio nicht als profitabel genug angesehen wurde, um mit der Entwicklung von Originalspielen fortzufahren.[2] In einer Erklärung gab Sony an, Japan Studio zum 1. April 2021 aufzulösen. Von den Entwicklungsteams sollte lediglich Team Asobi Team als fortan eigenständiges erhalten bleiben, um auf der Popularität von Astro’s Playroom aufzubauen. Die Abteilung zur Betreuung externer Entwicklungspartner wurde der Dachorganisation PlayStation Studios zugeordnet.[3]
