News business Yuji Naka (Sonic, Balan Wonderworld) has reportedly left Square Enix
On March 26th, Yuji Naka, who we owe the creation of Sonic, released Balan Wonderworld on behalf of Square Enix. Unfortunately, the title was very badly received by both the players and the audience. And this failure seems to have left its mark.
Yûji Naka arrived in January 2018 after convincing those in charge at Square Enix to let him develop a game, so he started developing the action platform game called Balan Wonderworld. According to their own information Facebook and
LinkedIn, the former SEGA character would have left Square Enix on April 30th. To classify the failure of the game, it would only have sold 2,100 copies in Japan during the first week of marketing, according to our colleagues from Game cult. The link between the failure of Balan Wonderworld and the departure of the former head of the Sonic team not yet confirmed by Square Enix, but everything indicates that one provoked the other. On the other hand, we do not know the fate of the Balan Company, Studio created for the development of the title.
