In a noteworthy alliance, Red Dune Games, based in the United Arab Emirates, has joined forces with the esteemed Japanese developer Acquire Corp. This collaboration aims to cultivate a series of innovative intellectual properties that promise to blend Acquire’s renowned Japanese craftsmanship with a broader, global creative vision.
Exciting New Projects on the Horizon
Currently, three projects are already in development, each bearing intriguing codenames: Tremor, Umbra, and Shadowcar. Acquire, celebrated for its contributions to the gaming world with titles such as Tenchu, Way of the Samurai, and Shinobido: Way of the Ninja, brings a rich legacy to this partnership. The studio has undergone significant transitions, having been owned by GungHo from 2011 until 2024, before its acquisition by Kadokawa.
Sultan Darmaki, CEO and creative director of Red Dune Games, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Acquire is a legendary studio with a deep creative legacy, and we are honored to work with them to build the next wave of original games. This partnership is a reflection of our belief that the future of gaming lies in global collaboration, where stories cross borders, and innovation knows no region.”
Takuma Endo, CEO of Acquire, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the studio’s commitment to originality. “As Acquire, a studio that has long valued originality from Japan in game development, we are thrilled to have found a wonderful partner in Red Dune Games and embark on a bold new global challenge together. We’ve always believed in the power of originality. Now, with Red Dune, we’re building something truly international.”
