Katsuhiro Harada, the acclaimed director of the Tekken series, has launched a new studio named VS Studio under the umbrella of SNK Corporation. Harada departed from Bandai Namco after three decades to lead this Tokyo-based venture, aiming to create innovative games in a collaborative environment. The studio's formation is notable due to SNK's ownership by Saudi Arabia's Electronic Gaming Development Company, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, which has drawn scrutiny over human rights concerns.
