World premieres planned at events such as Tokyo Game Show.
United Arab Emirates-based game publisher and developer Red Dunes Games has announced a multi-year collaboration with Tokyo-based developer ACQUIRE to co-develop a slate of original intellectual properties “that blend world-class Japanese craftsmanship with bold, creative vision.”
“ACQUIRE is a legendary studio with a deep creative legacy, and we are honored to work with them to build the next wave of original games,” said Red Dunes Games CEO and creative director Sultan Darmaki in a press release. “This partnership is a reflection of our belief that the future of gaming lies in global collaboration—where stories cross borders, and innovation knows no region.”
ACQUIRE is known for titles such as Tenchu, Way of the Samurai, AKIBA’S TRIP, and Octopath Traveler.
“As ACQUIRE, a studio that has long valued originality from Japan in game development, we are thrilled to have found a wonderful partner in Red Dunes Games and embark on a bold new global challenge together,” said ACQUIRE CEO Takuma Endo. “We’ve always believed in the power of originality. Now, with Red Dunes, we’re building something truly international.”
The first wave of projects between the co-developers is as follows:
- Project Tremor – City-shaking kaiju battles.
- Project Umbra – Dark fantasy hunts.
- Project Shadowcar – Shadowy espionage thriller.
Each title explores a distinct genre and vision. All games will launch on PC and major consoles, with global releases, multilingual support, and world premieres planned at events such as Tokyo Game Show.
The collaboration is described as a cornerstone in Red Dunes Games’ long-term publishing and co-development vision, which combines original game creation with a global outlook, industry partnerships, and a commitment to diverse storytelling.
