Many know the Level-5 company, who have developed high-quality video games, usually focused on the turn-based role-playing experience, and we have already seen that with franchises such as Ni No Kuni, Yo-Kai Watch, Inazuma Eleven, among others that are quite friendly to the public. However, recently they have confessed that they would like to explore new horizons to which they are accustomed, and that would be video games focused on adult audiences.
Through a new interview with the media, the company’s CEO, Akihiro Hino, has mentioned that the company must continue to grow in some way, and that is why the idea they have is to expand to create other types of games that can even expand to measured violence. And within the statements, it has been implied that they have reached a point of stagnation, so it is necessary to make a turn that can come out like a coin toss, whether good or bad.
Here are the statements:
The creators who can release such cutting-edge titles to the world are incredible,
If I took it to the extreme, I’d say I want to make things like erotic games and 18+ games with violence and blood.
Yes, there is an ‘abnormal and weird world’ inside me, but I’m trying not to go there, just doing things from the right side of my mind instead. However, deep down, I really want to visit that abnormal world.
Here is the company description:

Author’s note: It would be a bit strange to see a Professor Layton with dark tones. So they are possibly franchises created from scratch so as not to damage the reputation of those that have already gained an audience.
