Japanese Indie Creator Hub Asobu Is Now Sponsored By Sony

Adobe, a Japanese community hub for indie game creators, has picked up a new sponsor in the shape of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Essentially, Asobu provides creators with a place to share ideas and work on projects, and is based in Shibuya, Tokyo. With news that Sony has been scaling back its Japanese development studio and is apparently shunning independent games in favour of blockbusters, this news probably comes as a bit of a surprise.

There’s not really any details on what Sony’s sponsorship of the outfit entails, but presumably it will involve funding and the chance to have creators’ works published on the PlayStation label.
