In a financial report that confirmed Square Enix has “set new records for full-year net sales”, the Japanese company says it wants to “enhance [its] presence in the global market” given the “graying demographics” for developing games primarily for the Japanese market.
In the statement, Square Enix said it was “critical for [its] business that [it] produce hit titles that speak to the global market”.
“For our Group to better focus on developing titles for the global market in this changing environment, we need to concentrate our limited resources on the development of strong and robust titles,” the company said.
“We need to enhance our presence in the global market by quickly establishing an organisational structure that enables us to consistently roll out high-quality content produced through selective and focused resource allocation, which requires the revamping of our title and studio portfolio.
