On February 3, 2025 Marvelous Games announced it will have a new President and CEO. Executive Director, Shinichi Terui has now been promoted to President and CEO of Marvelous Games. Former CEO Suminobu Sato will step down from his position officially on March 31, 2025.
As of April 1, 2025 Shinichi Terui will assume the role of President and CEO. The reason for Sato stepping down is due to the poor performance of Marvelous Games. Two executives within Marvelous Games have volunteered to receive a 10% pay cut through the months of February and March 2025.
In August 2024, Marvelous and XSEED announced publishing duties between both companies would be split. An image was released detailing which company would be handling the publishing of individual titles such as Corpse Party, Ys, and Western titles such as Potionomics.
Marvelous Games currently publishes the Story of Seasons and Rune Factory series. A new Rune Factory game is on the horizon, which will feature a sizable amount of marriage candidates. Additionally, it will receive a Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin DLC. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin was one of Marvelous Games’ standout titles the year it released, selling upwards of a million copies in 2021.
