    Marvelous Announces Leadership Changes and Pay Cuts

    Shinichi Terui will be stepping up as the new CEO.

    Marvelous published its earning report for the third quarter of fiscal year ending in March 2025, revealing a decline in sales and revenue over the past three quarters (April – December 2024). As a result, Marvelous is making leadership changes and measures to take responsibility for the company’s declining performance. 

    According to GameBiz, Marvelous CEO Sato Suminobu will be stepping down from his leadership role on March 31. He will be replaced by Shinichi Terui, one of the Marvelous’ executive directors. Management at Marvelous will also face pay cuts, with two full-time executives receiving monthly salary reductions in February and March. 

    Marvelous reported a 4.8% decline in sales and 12.4% drop in net profit compared to the same period last fiscal year. The company has announced downward revision of its earning forecast with net profit and sales being much lower than its previous targets. It’s worth noting that the release of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is not contributing to the current fiscal year, since it releases on May 30.

    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma releases May 30 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam for $59.99. A Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma Earth Dancer Edition will be sold for $99.99 in the Marvelous USA store. This physical edition includes a custom box, original soundtrack CD, an artbook, a special folding fan, the Seasons of Love, additional DLC costumes, and a Woolby plush keychain.

    Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma will receive new DLC in collaboration with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. Sakuna will be a resident of Azuma, acting as an NPC that players can interact with at her home where she continues to cultivate rice. Players will be able to befriend Sakuna and invite her to the party for battle.
