Because of this, I wanted to make my research as open and accessible as possible. I was only able to attend because a whole lot of people were gracious enough to help fund me through a GoFundMe page. It was a really great, welcoming conference that I’m really glad I was able to attend. Whatever the studio does create, it'll likely feed into parent company Sega's new reputation for being the top publisher of 2020, as determined by sister site MetaCritic's latest publisher rankings.(Last week I attended and presented a paper at the DiGRA (Digital Games Research Association) 2015 conference at Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany. Sato doesn't think the studio will stray too far from the genre it's best at, but he did mention that decisions would be made based on what genre best fits the game it'll develop next. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios recently released Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which was a wild departure from previous games in the series with its new protagonist, story, and the use of a combat RPG gameplay system. 'So I should think of it as now is a more opportune time to release these titles.' 'Ghost of Tsushima has helped Western gamers become more interested in samurai,' Sato said. When asked about the possibility for Japanese spin-offs Yakuza Kenzan and Ishin to be localized, Sato believes that the success of Ghost of Tsushima might help those games reach a Western audience, especially now that the studio isn't too focused on remastering older Yakuza games for newer systems.

You won't even be able to relive the adventures of the Rust Crew on a more modern platform such as the Xbox Series X|S consoles, as Binary Domain never made it onto the list of backwards-compatible games.

Sato was also the director of Binary Domain, a game that so far has only seen been released on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
