In a post on its website, the company revealed that it was buying 100 per cent of the studio's shares. Kyodai is best-known for sci-fi adventure romp Elea, which was released back in 2019 and published by Soedesco. The developer is currently working on Truck Driver: The American Dream.

No figure has been put on the deal.

“This is the next step in our strategy to expand the development capacity of Soedesco as we continue to operate on a worldwide scale. Kyodai is filled with many talented and creative people. We understand how vital creative integrity is to the studio and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to grow."
