Ikeda, who had been with Bandai Namco for twenty years, announced his departure in June but did not disclose his future plans, stating he would continue taking on new challenges as a game developer. He expressed excitement about returning to game development with two of his former bosses, sharing that he is looking forward to creating something new together.
