News: It's been a long time coming.
Outspoken bad boy of video game development Tomonobu Itagaki has officially left Tecmo and plans to sue the company for unpaid bonuses he was supposed to gain from Dead or Alive 4.
This has been a long time coming as a result of tensions between Itagaki and Tecmo president Yoshimi Yasuda. Since we do not have the exact details at the moment, we'll leave the speculation up to you. Most importantly, we have no idea where this leaves Itagaki's in-development projects including Dead or Alive 5, Dead or Alive: Code Cronus and Project Progressive.
More on this as it develops.
