Cavia (company)

The old company's game planning & development business was transferred to a newly established Cavia Inc.

In July 2010, the company was officially disbanded and absorbed into AQ Interactive.

[1] Despite the closure, some members of the development staff from Nier, including director Yoko Taro, went on to produce a prequel to the Drakengard series, Drakengard 3, under Access Games and published by Square Enix.

Former members of Cavia have either gone freelance, or joined other development teams within Marvelous AQL (created from the merger of AQ Interactive), Comcept, Tango Gameworks, FromSoftware or rejoined the teams at Namco where members of Cavia were from originally.

Former member Yoichi Take (also previously of Namco) left on December 1, 2006, to start his own development studio, Toylogic [ja].
