Shin Murato, a producer on Konami‘s GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon, has indicated the Metal Gear Solid publisher may outsource more of its IPs in the future.
This decision seems to be driven by the success of the aforementioned GetsuFumaDen revival, which was the result of a collaboration between indie outfit GuruGuru and Konami. The game came out this month for the PC via Steam and is due for release on Nintendo Switch in 2022.
Speaking with JPGames, Murato-san commented:
We are continually inspired by various indie titles, and how they innovate and produce exciting games. We felt that GetsuFumaDen would be an interesting IP to bring back to follow this indie approach, and so we decided to contact GuruGuru as we know the team well.
They had been exploring new approaches for graphical design and thought they would be a great fit for this IP. It also helped that there were fans of the original GetsuFumaDen game within the GuruGuru team. In terms of other collaborations, please wait for future projects like this!
