Bloodborne Visionaries Launch Game-Changing Studio

In a thrilling new chapter for gaming, the mastermind behind *Bloodborne*, Teruyuki Toriyama, is making waves by co-founding a cutting-edge development studio named Sirius Studio. Teaming up with former colleagues Tomohiro Suzuki and Hideki Irie, these industry veterans are on a mission to deliver breathtaking, high-end gaming experiences.

A Bold Move for Creator Independence

As reported by Famitsu and echoed by VGC, Sirius Studio is a subsidiary of Gz Group, founded with a dedication to 'prioritize creator independence.' This announcement follows the trio's decision to part ways with Thirdverse, a company that started veering towards casual games, a shift that didn’t align with their vision.

Irie shared insights into their journey, stating, "We were part of a high-caliber team at Thirdverse's Japan studio. However, with their pivot to casual games, it became clear we wanted to forge our own path dedicated to premium, immersive gaming experiences. After discussions with CEO Hironao Kunimitsu, we made a respectful and amicable transition."

What’s Next for Sirius Studio?

Based out of Tokyo, Sirius Studio is setting its sights on console and VR/XR titles, aiming to develop both original and third-party intellectual properties. Their goal? To create experiences that truly resonate with gamers, making their hearts ‘shine’ with excitement. With such ambitious plans, the gaming world is eagerly watching to see what this dynamic trio will unleash next.
