, by Thibaut
While he may not be a household name in the gaming world, Yohei Shimbori has pretty much worked on a number of successful franchises. He spent more than ten years at Koei Tecmo working on the Dead or Alive franchise, even directing the fifth and sixth games.
Back in 2021, he left Koei Tecmo to join Bandai Namco. He then took on the role of assistant director on Tekken 8. But just four years later, Yohei Shimbori has announced his departure via a post on X.
Without giving a reason for his decision, Shimbori thanked the fans. He also remained very mysterious about his future.
