Masami Yamamoto, a veteran game producer who previously served as the producer of the game "Tenchu" and joined Sony Computer Entertainment during his time, and participated in the production of games such as the "Brave Warrior" series, "Freedom Wars", "Dark Souls Sacrifice", "Bloodborne", "Tokyo Jungle", and "Rain", also confirmed his departure from Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio (SIE JAPAN Studio) through his personal Twitter earlier.
Masami Yamamoto has worked in the Sony system for more than 25 years. In addition to being the producer of many famous games, he was also responsible for game creation talent training projects such as "Game Yaroze 06" and "PlayStation CAMP". He is also a senior game producer at Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio.
The announcement of his departure also shows that the recent adjustment in the direction of organizational development and structural changes have caused conflicts of ideas with many senior game producers from Japanese studios, causing many game producers to choose to leave.
Recently, game producers including Keiichiro Toyama, who produced the "Silent Hill" and "Gravity Rush" series, and Akira Toriyama, who produced works such as "Bloodborne" and "Demon's Souls: Remake", announced their departures and even established independent game studios to continue investing in game content production, and not be restricted to release on the PlayStation platform.
In addition to announcing his departure on his personal Twitter, Masami Yamamoto also revealed that he will continue to create game content in the future, and also stated that he will release his personal content on different platforms.
At present, many people believe that Sony tends to use its game studiosCreate a content strategy that is accepted by the global player marketThis will also inadvertently reduce the proportion of traditional Japanese game releases. However, this statement is not entirely correct. After all, game creators who leave the Sony system can create content with greater flexibility and attract players on more platforms. However, future games on the PlayStation platform may be more inclined to develop content that is acceptable to the European and American markets.
