Square Enix is announcing that it has plans for both block buster and live games. The company president Yosuke Matsuda explains in annual report which many may find interesting.
“Our diverse and strong upcoming lineup, from Blockbuster games to LIVE games will be either announced or released to our customers around the world. We will also continue to work with utmost effort for further expansion of sales channel via download and cloud technology to deliver our content in the optimum form for each of our customers. Furthermore, we will pursue developing businesses in the emerging markets – not only in Asia, but also other regions including Middle East, South America and Russia.
The Square Enix Group will continue to rise to the strategic challenges facing our industry in this year. Our endeavour is to provide amazement and excitement, those “jack-in-the-box” moments, through the creativity of our developers and visionaries. We will make ourselves ready to adapt to any future changes in the business environment, and commit ourselves to delivering the very best quality entertainment to our customers, filled with “fun.”
By the way if you were wondering what they mean by live games (which I think we all were) don’t worry as the President decides to explain that as well.
“Blockbuster games using the Group’s high-quality IPs and LIVE games, which we define as games for smartphone, tablets, online and arcade. While Blockbuster titles will continue to be an integral part of our business, we pursued regional expansion and diversification of distribution channels such as cloud gaming.
We also diligently worked on the pipeline expansion of our LIVE games. In this area, we can expect to provide our customers with brand-new experiences; competitive or co-operative gameplay, e-sports, and lively user community activities stimulated by video streaming of gameplay.”
For those who are wondering why he his talking about practices I will remind you that a while back Square Enix was having finical trouble and as it was making enough money off of its games. After looking ward the company noticed their practices where out of date and thus they have been correcting that. By the way I have no idea why he didn’t just say mobile games. Anyway the article covers a lot more which if you want to know what the house that Final Fantasy built is planning for the new year then go the link below.
As always thank you for reading.
