Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda is stepping down after a decade, with Takashi Kiryu taking his place after the company board votes in June, the company announced in a statement. Matsuda joined Square Enix in 2013 and oversaw the release of games such as Final Fantasy XV, where he appeared as an optional boss, and a renewed push to bring the publisher’s classic games back to life for new audiences. These decisions were accompanied by less triumphant ventures, including the sale of the company’s Western studios and investment in NFTs.
