Studio Sasanqua and Glitz Visuals have announced that they have formed a business partnership. This will involve the two companies combining their respective strengths and exchanging employees.
Founded on in January and unveiled in March this year, Studio Sasanqua is a new game company set up by former Ouka Studios dev and Visions of Mana co-director Kenji Ozawa. Glitz Visuals, on the other hand, is a company of 25 people specializing in CGI graphics, trailer and music video production. Despite their small size, they have some big credits to their name, having recently worked on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s lighting for Square Enix, and produced the trailer for Genki’s Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

Quoted in Game*Spark, Glitz Visuals’ press release on the partnership with Studio Sasanqua says that “We aim to make challenging projects a reality by combining our global market-focused, high-level development team with Studio Sasanqua’s strengths in proposals, planning and execution,” adding that “Furthermore, we won’t just stop at technical cooperation, rather we aim to contribute to the development of the entire industry through the exchange of human resources between our two companies.”
