The upcoming issue of Famitsu features an interview with Takaki and reveals he is leaving Marvelous, after being with the company for around 13 years.
Famitsu's post announcing the interview: https://www.famitsu.com/news/201903/27173600.html (copy & paste URL)
Further information is starting to spread online, some of which originated from the following blog: http://ryokutya2089.com/archives/18755.
A few noteworthy items from the blog post:
- Takaki is still acting as Producer for Senran Kagura.
- He and his staff will continue to work on Senran Kagura 7, but content adjustments to the title will be handled by Marvelous.
- The new regulations regarding erotic content are the reason he's leaving (it comes across like the concerns and oversight of such content has increased).
- He's currently involved with a home console title at Cygames.
At the moment, it's unclear, whether Takaki is merely acting as Producer through the completion of Senran Kagura 7 or will continue to oversee the series at Marvelous in some advisory role. There's also word he's still working with Marvelous on an anime & game cross-media project that started around a year ago.
Once people get their hands on the new issue of Famitsu (or when the interview is posted on their site), I'm sure we'll see further clarity on the situation, but either way, I'm not feeling overly optimistic on the future of Senran Kagura. Hopefully, Takaki will have some interesting things to reveal in the coming months, about his new projects.
