UAE’s Red Dune Collaborates with Japan’s Acquire Studio

UAE’s Red Dune Games is up to something wild with Japan’s Acquire Corp. Yeah, they’re teaming up—sounds like a big deal, right? They’re brewing up some new stuff, mixing Acquire’s artsy Japanese vibes with who-knows-what global flair. Seriously, I’m curious what “best craftsmanship” means in this context.

Oh, and there are already three mystery projects tucked under codenames: Tremor, Umbra, and Shadowcar. Just the names make me picture some kind of ninja-dune mash-up in outer space.

Speaking of ninjas, Acquire’s the brainy bunch behind Tenchu and Shinobido. Those ninja games were a thing. Acquire hopped from GungHo, who owned them from 2011 to 2024 before a handoff to Kadokawa. Industry musical chairs?

Here’s a fun tidbit: Sultan Darmaki, who’s calling the shots at Red Dune, talked about this partnership like it’s going to rewrite the gaming rulebook. His words, not mine. Something about stories that globe-trot and the magic of innovation? Makes you think—or not—it’s a lot to chew on.

Oh, and let’s not skip Acquire’s chief, Takuma Endo. He’s pumped about this, all jazzed up about originality and going big on a global stage. Like, here’s hoping their big dreams don’t get too convoluted.

Honestly, could be insane. Or genius. Maybe just fun. Either way, I’m on board to see where this unpredictable rollercoaster leads.
