We knew this game was something special since we helped Kobojo with the reveal at Tokyo Game Show last year. And now, we’re proud to say that Apple has named Kobojo’s Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey as the year’s best game on iPad Pro.   Congratulations to our friends/partner/colleagues/karaoke buddies at Kobojo on this amazing accomplishment!   […]

Last week, independent studio Kobojo decided to shake things up by announcing the unprecedented news that the company’s highly anticipated Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) title Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey will be released as a premium mobile game – despite the fact that Kobojo has traditionally been a free-to-play gaming outfit. Repeat: a free-to-play (F2P) game company is changing its business model to premium games. This is huge news. How huge? The Wonacott team geared up to release the announcement…and here’s what happened.

Following up on a successful GDC for our client Kobojo, our chief PR Guy Jason Wonacott dug up his passport, packed his bags and made his way to Dundee, Scotland – the home of indie developer Kobojo’s new studio – for a media event featuring some of the UK’s top gaming outlets. Believe it or not, Scotland has a long and distinguished history of game development, which we can sum up in three words: Grand Theft Auto. And many of the region’s veteran development talent now call Kobojo home.
