Level-5 CEO Talks About the New U.S. Studio in Fan Oriented Video

Over on the official website for Level-5's North American studio comes a video for fans from the company's president, CEO, and founder, Akihiro Hino. Level-5 International America, as it's called, has officially begun operations according to Hino, who explains that it will be focused on both releasing games developed in Japan and creating original content designed for the United States.

In North America, Level-5 is probably best known for the Professor Layton series and Dragon Quest IX, though it was also behind Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII, Jeanne D'Arc, and White Knight Chronicles. It also has produced a fair number of games that have yet to make it to North America, including Ni No Kuni and the Inazuma Eleven series.

With Level-5 IA open, it's been assumed that we might see some of that Japan (and sometimes Europe)-only content make its way over here. Hino noted that the Japanese and U.S. markets are "quite different, but we hope to make innovative games that our fans in the U.S. will enjoy."

You can see at our of the new office at the company's official website, where you'll also find the obligatory social network links.
