Nintendo has had a difficult few weeks, given that not so long ago some layoffs of contractors were revealed in order to have a more solid company, more than anything due to the fact that they do not have big games in development and that those must go through a period beta testing. However, that does not prevent them from making new additions to the team, and now it is confirmed that someone from the rival company (in quotes) was hired to fulfill a specific function.
The person in question is neither more nor less than Gio Corsi, product director of IllFonicformer commercial director of Iron Galaxy Studiosand global director of second party games at Sony Interactive Entertainment, a track record that has earned him a place in this company. The user has expressed his agreement to be part of this company, which will be another pinnacle in his CV, and now it would be necessary for him to pass the same in Microsoft in the years to come.

It has been stipulated that among his duties he will be in charge of managing the portfolio of third-party AAA games, so franchises that have been requested for years could arrive, such as Yakuza, which returned to PlayStation at the time due to the efforts of this same executive. Also, it is possible that it will reach an agreement with companies like Square Enix, given that fans are looking for the saga Kingdom Hearts I arrived in Latin America switchsince there are only cloud versions only for USES.

Editor's note: It's definitely a surprise, but at the same time it's not so impressive that someone is moving between teams, well remember that people who used to be in Retro Studios even ended up in the Halo series, so it's something that's been around for years. .
