The development and operations staff and myself will move to a new company, Ono said in his blog post. All the service titles will survive under the new company. We are hopeful that you will continue to patronage over many years. Aniplex announced that it signed an agreement to acquire all the shares of a new company that will succeed the company’s games business through a separate agreement, which will begin in spring 2022. These include the Fate/Grand Order development team, which will be transferred to the new company along with DELiGHTWORKs other game operations.

Aniplex will acquire DELiGHTWORKS games business.

Aniplex signed an agreement with DELiGHTWORKS to acquire all of a new company’s shares. To clear up any misinformation, DELiGHTWORKS notified Automaton Media that the whole game business was about to be transferred to the new company. The press release on the announcement was released on Monday. Ono said he’d continue to play, but it was unclear yet whether this would be a DELiGHTWORKS initiative or under the new company. While today’s post confirms that Ono will move to the new company, the only question that remains is whether CEO and chairman Akihito Shouji will also depart the company. What business will DELiGHTWORKS take in future? Since the game business has gone, the golf-oriented sports business is going to be everything that isn’t far from that. Thanks, Automaton Media.
