A change in leadership is currently underway for Sony?s Japan Studio. Astro Bot Rescue Mission Director, Nicolas Doucet, will now serve as the developer?s Studio Director. What this shift in leadership means for the role of former studio chief Allan Becker presently remains unknown.
News of Doucet?s promotion comes by way of an HR post from the ?Corporate? section of Sony Interactive Entertainment?s official website. Interestingly, the post features very little information apart from Doucet?s being named as Japan Studio?s new Studio Director. In turn, it is unclear what exactly such a change may entail for the first-party studio going forward.
