Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya says Microsoft-canceled action RPG Scalebound would have gone differently under a Japanese publisher: "They understand the struggle of trying to give birth to something new"

Scalebound.

Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya has spoken about working with different publishers and the difference between Japanese and Western publishers.

Kamiya spoke to VGC in an in-depth interview about his new studio, Clovers, and was asked what his reaction was to all of the layoff and cancellation stories coming out of Western publishers at the moment. It was noted that these stories rarely come out of Japanese publishers. Kamiya noted his resume of working with a ton of publishers across the world, and said, "What it feels like when working with Japanese publishers is that the development culture feels closer to mind, and they tend to be more understanding toward creators."
