Amongst the wealth of talent at Clover were Atsushi Inaba (producer of Steel Battalion and Viewtiful Joe), Shinji Mikami (creator of Resident Evil), and Hideki Kamiya (director of Devil May Cry). It has now been revealed that Inaba and Kamiya left Clover on their own accord back in June and July.

Mr. Mikami is still working as a contracted producer for Capcom, but unfortunately Mr. Inaba and Mr. Kamiya are no longer with the company, having left respectively in June and July this year,” a Capcom rep told GameSpot. “We obviously hoped that Mr. Inaba and Mr. Kamiya would return to work for Capcom, but both were looking for fresh challenges.

For now Clover is working on PAL versions of Okami and God Hand, and in March 2007 when Clover’s doors close for good, Capcom is hoping to incorporate Clover staff into positions within the Capcom R&D teams.
