Visions of Mana Director Leaves NetEase for Square Enix

Ryosuke Yoshida, Visions of Mana Director, se mueve de NetEase a Square Enix

Este sorprendente cambio de la industria ve a Ryosuke Yoshida, director de Visions of Mana y ex diseñador de juegos de Capcom, la transición de NetEase a Square Enix, como se revela en un anuncio de Twitter (X) del 2 de diciembre. Los detalles que rodean su partida de los estudios de Ouka siguen siendo escasos.

El papel destacado de Yoshida en el desarrollo del último título maná está bien documentado. Colaborando con talento de Capcom y Bandai Namco, el equipo lanzó con éxito Visions of Mana el 30 de agosto de 2024, con gráficos actualizados. Su partida sigue poco después de este lanzamiento.

Mientras Yoshida confirmó su empleo Square Enix a partir de diciembre, los detalles de sus proyectos permanecen sin revelar.

El enfoque cambiante de NetEase: inversiones japonesas reducidas

El movimiento de Yoshida no es del todo inesperado, dada la escala de NetEase informada de las inversiones de estudio japonesas. Un artículo de Bloomberg (30 de agosto) destacó la decisión de NetEase y Tencent de reducir las pérdidas después de varias empresas exitosas con estudios japoneses. Ouka Studios, el antiguo empleador de Yoshida, se ve directamente afectado, con NetEase reduciendo significativamente sus operaciones de Tokio.

Tanto NetEase como Tencent están reasignando estratégicamente recursos para capitalizar el mercado de juegos chino revitalizado, una tendencia ejemplificada por el éxito de Black Myth: Wukong , un destinatario de premios prestigiosos que incluyen el mejor diseño visual y el juego final del año en el 2024 Golden Premios de joystick.

El cambio estratégico contrasta con la decisión de 2020 de estas compañías de invertir mucho en Japón durante un período de estancamiento en el mercado chino. Sin embargo, la aparente fricción entre estas grandes empresas y los desarrolladores japoneses más pequeños, una diferencia en las ambiciones del mercado global versus el control de la PI, aparece por haber influido en este cambio.

Si bien NetEase y Tencent no se retiran por completo de Japón, a pesar de sus fuertes relaciones con Capcom y Bandai Namco, su estrategia actual prioriza la reducción y preparación de pérdidas para el resurgimiento del mercado chino.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
