Overview
Mistwalker is a Japanese game development corporation founded in 2004 by
Hironobu Sakaguchi with financial help from Microsoft. Microsoft's involvement extended from the hope that Sakaguchi's reputation attached to Xbox 360 RPGs such as
Blue Dragon and
Lost Odyssey would help drive sales in Japan, a region in which the Xbox brand has struggled since the first Xbox.
In addition to the above Mistwalker also developed the RPG
Cry On, but was cancelled in late 2008. The company has also been behind games on other platforms, including
ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat and
Blue Dragon Plus for the Nintendo DS.
Mistwalker does not handle development of their titles by themselves. Rather, they work with outside developers such as
Feel Plus,
Artoon and
Brownie Brown to handle the bulk of the game development process. Mistwalker's focus on the story and music, and to guide the overall development process.
Current Development
Mistwalker is currently developing the RPG
The Last Story for the Wii, to be published by
Nintendo.
