On March 1, Camouflaj announced that they have set up a studio in Kamakura, Japan called Camouflaj Holdings, which will be led in part by Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So here&#39;s some news &#8211; I&#39;ve graduated from Capcom and am now working with the good people of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Camouflaj?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Camouflaj<\/a> ! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fnCRBlud28\">https:\/\/t.co\/fnCRBlud28<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Matt Walker (@retroOtoko) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/retroOtoko\/status\/1498682088752828419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 1, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Walker joined Capcom in 2010 and was active at the studio as a production manager and producer. He\u2019s been involved in a number of games and series such as <em>Resident Evil<\/em>, <em>Street Fighter V<\/em>, and <em>Monster Hunter: World<\/em>. He\u2019s also known for his work on the recent <em>Devil May Cry V<\/em>. Between that and appearing in official Capcom broadcasts to promote <em>Devil May Cry V Special Edition<\/em>, it\u2019s likely many are familiar with him. But after coming to Japan from the United States and working at Capcom for 11 years, it looks like he\u2019s moving on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camouflaj is an indie game studio based in Seattle, Washington. The studio was founded by Ryan Payton, who previously worked on <em>Metal Gear Solid 4<\/em> at Konami, and made its debut with the stealth action game <em>R\u00e9publique<\/em>. After that, the studio went on to create <em>Marvel\u2019s Iron Man VR<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds like Walker will be leading this new studio in Kamakura as director of production alongside Payton. Coinciding with the announcement, Walker stated, \u201cOur second base here will strengthen our capability to build high quality, meaningful games on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, writer and translator Alexander O. Smith is joining the studio. Smith has been involved in a number of titles since the PlayStation 1 generation, including the <em>Final Fantasy <\/em>series, projects from PlatinumGames, and a number of other well-known games. Smith recently worked as a writer on <em>Ori and the Will of the Wisps<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"R\u00e9publique: Anniversary Edition - Announcement Trailer - Switch, PS4, PSVR\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ruoWT4vd9Tw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At around the same time, Camouflaj also announced that <em>R\u00e9publique: Anniversary Edition<\/em> will be launching digitally on PlayStation 4, PS VR, and Nintendo Switch on March 10. Walker commented, \u201cI can\u2019t wait for players to discover what we mean when we say we build \u2018meaningful games\u2019 by experiencing R\u00e9publique\u2019s story, which I believe are even more relevant today than they were when Episode 1 first released back in 2013.\u201d The studio says they\u2019re excited to share more about what they mean by \u201cmeaningful games\u201d in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devil May Cry 5 producer Matt Walker has left Capcom and joined the indie studio Camouflaj.
