Blog:Aniplex acquired Delightworks' gaming division

Japanese anime and music firm Aniplex has revealed its intentions to acquire the games division of Fate/Grand Order developer, Delightworks.

The acquisition will take place in Spring 2022, once the games division has been split from Delightworks and established as a new company.

All of the current Delightworks staff, including the development team behind the company's flagship title, Fate/Grand Order, will transition to the new company, which is yet to be named.

Following the acquisition, the newly formed company will work closely with Fate/stay night franchise (on which Fate/Grand Order is based) creator Type-Moon and Aniplex.

Delightworks will continue to maintain its current operations, minus its games branch.

My Thought on This
I have nothing to say. I never have any intention to play FGO and blow my money just for some hard-to-get anime girls. They're pretty though.

And what about others?

The Vietnamese players simply brought up the recurring "F**k you DW [and your abysmal gacha drop rates]!" meme, whereas the English-speaking players were concerning and having Vietnam flashbacks.
