Masato Kimura’s Statements on Unbound’s AAA Game

Another significant name working at Unbound Games is Masato Kimura. Kimura, who previously served as a producer on the Ghostwire: Tokyo game, shared some details about the new studio and their ongoing AAA project in an interview in February 2025. Kimura stated that the studio uses the Unreal Engine 5 engine and touched upon the differences in developing AAA games in Japan and abroad.

“I cannot provide details yet, but we are working on an AAA game for high-end players. However, to be honest, it’s difficult to work in the same way as foreign AAA projects that require hundreds of billions of yen budget, hundreds of employees, and a five to seven-year development process in Japan. Therefore, we aim to blend AAA quality with AA content. We are creating a production that offers a rich gaming experience and completely immerses the player in its world,” he stated.

We will continue to closely follow new updates and developments from Unbound Games regarding their projects.
