New Studio “VS Studio SNK” Announced | A Message from Katsuhiro Harada

Press Release https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2026/ Comment by Katsuhiro Harada I am pleased to announce the launch of a new game development studio, VS Studio. VS Studio has a philosophy of "Beyond tradition, crafted to perfection". We will bring together technology, sensibility, and world-class knowledge to pursue the limit. By fostering a free, open environment with room to breathe, we aim to generate new ideas and create experiences that leave a lasting impression. I launched this studio to give shape to that feeling. And the "VS" in VS Studio has many meanings. It contains many meanings that symbolize innovation and challenge, such as our roots in "Video game Soft (VS Development Department)", the spirit of "Versus" that challenges tradition, and "Visionary Standard", "Volition Shift", and "Vanguard Spirit". Over the years of game development, I have always thought about how to live my future as a developer and what kind of environment allows developers to perform at their best. VS Studio is one of the answers. We bring together technology and knowledge, and together with passionate colleagues, we deliver the best gaming experience to users around the world. VS Studio wants to be a studio that continues to take on such challenges, and we are looking for talented individuals who share our aspirations. Stay tuned for the future of VS Studio.
