Over a year ago former Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki left Tecmo and filed a lawsuit regarding his dispute over “unpaid completion of bonuses” for Dead or Alive 4 and “unreasonable and disingenuous statements” made by then Tecmo president Yoshimi Yasuda.
It’s now been revealed that the lawsuit has been amicably settled out of court.
Itagaki had a message for his fans.
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your great help and words of encouragement which have been extended to me so far,” read a statement given to 1UP. “I can’t hardly wait for the day of announcing my newest work in progress to you all, but I promise you now that I will deliver to you an enjoyable game with depth that surpasses all the games I created before, and is worthy of being world-class entertainment.
“Please continue your unwavering support for me.”
