Square Enix is opening a new Western studio just months after selling its Western studios

Months after selling off its Western studios, Sq♏uare Enix seems to be setting up a new one in the West.
According to a new pending filed through the Canadian Trademarks Database (thanks, ), Square Enix is opening a new studio called Studio Onoma that'll be involved in "publishing of computer game software and video game software." Square Enix Newco Limited, a newly established company based in London, is listed as the trademark app♕licant.
Apparently, the new studio could also produce things like strategy guide💎s, posters, fly sheets, clothing and apparel, action figures, and battery-operated games, thoug༒h traditional video games would seemingly be its primary focus.
It's always notable when a major player opens a new studio, but there's heightened interest here in the aftermath of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码🦹历史查询:Square Enix's massive deal with E🐽mbracer Group. This deal saw Square sell oಞff developers like Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montreal, and Square Enix Montreal, as well as IP including Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Thief, and Legacy of Kain to Embracer for an eye-watering $300 million.
At the time, Square Enix said the sale would "assist the company in adapting to the changes underway in the global business environment by establishing a more efficient allocation of resources." It also said it would establish new studios and realign its business to focus🌌 on "[cultivating] robust IP" as well as the "creation of new IP." It seems we could be seeing the first fruits of those efforts with this pending application for a new studio in the West, though further details are unclear.
While we wait to hear more, here are some 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games of 2022 to look forward to.

After earning an English degree𝓡 from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
