Speaking to Gamasutra earlier this week, Capcom vice president of marketing Charles Bellfield said: “Some of the team that worked on Clover titles are now helping [Jun] Takeuchi-san on Resident Evil 5, [and] helping Inafune-san on a new title for the Wii.“
Much was made of the closure of Capcom’s Clover Studio but Bellfield says that public perception of the studio’s closure is very different to what actually happened.
“What actually happened is [Shinji] Mikami-san, [Hideki] Kamiya-san and [Atsushi] Inaba-san chose to leave the company and do something else and the rest of the Clover team was just incorporated back into the rest of Capcom’s development talent pool,” explained Bellfield.
This won’t have been a difficult process for the ex-Clover staffers since Clover was based inside the 16-floor Capcom headquarters in Osaka. The “something else” that Mikami, Inaba and Kamiya chose to do was setting up the new studio Seeds.
