Sony’s Japan Studio Closing Down Today, PS5 Demon’s Souls Director Gavin Moore Departs Apr 1, 2021 16:53 EDT In an effort to further strengthen business operations, SIE can confirm PlayStation Studios Japan Studio will be re-organized into a new organization on April 1. Japan Studio will be re-centered to Team Asobi, the creative team behind Astro's Playroom, allowing the team to focus on a single vision and build on the popularity of Astro's Playroom. It’s seems the last major holdout turning out the lights will be 20-year-veteran Gavin Moore, who most recently directed the PS5 remake of Demon’s Souls… After 24 years at Sony and 18 of those in Japan, yesterday was my last day at #JAPANStudio. I will miss the great creative spirit and camaraderie of the studio that was a huge part of my life. Time to seek out new and exciting opportunities!! pic.twitter.com/XOW0XytYd4
