Comcept Officially Dissolved, Ending Keiji Inafune's Studio Chapter

TL;DR Summary
Comcept, the game studio founded by Keiji Inafune, was officially dissolved by a shareholders’ resolution on January 13, 2026. The move follows corporate reorganizations linked to LEVEL-5, including Inafune’s 2024 departure from Level-5 and LEVEL-5 Osaka absorbing the older comcept unit. While Comcept developed Mighty No. 9 and contributed to titles like Soul Sacrifice and ReCore, the dissolution ends its standalone entity with related IPs and personnel shifting under other LEVEL-5 entities or partnerships.
