Drecom Launches Drecom Creators Studio for Indie Game Support
Japanese video game developer Drecom announced on Thursday the launch of a new indie game studio called Drecom Creators Studio. The studio aims to discover the potential of game titles and support projects from development through long-term expansion, with a focus on small creators and teams. Drecom lists several types of support it will offer, including sharing developmental knowledge, financial assistance, marketing, and mixed media expansion. The company is now opening applications for creators to apply through its website. The new studio will also exhibit at the BitSummit PUNCH event, which runs in Kyoto from May 22 to 24. Separately, Drecom recently denied reports that Atari has acquired the trademark rights to the Wizardry IP. Atari had acquired the complete and exclusive rights and the underlying intellectual properties of the first five Wizardry games from the original rights holder. Drecom stated that it has no intention of selling the Wizardry trademark rights or other rights it holds in the future, and will continue to hold the domestic and international trademark rights for the game series and manage the Wizardry IP brand.
