A new report reveals that Konami has recently decided to rename their New York 4K Media offices, as the company seeks to shift their focus to some of their somewhat-neglected intellectual properties.
The news comes from an official press release that Konamy released on Monday, revealing that Konami Cross Media NY Inc.,the 4K Media's brand-new name, is effective as of today. According to the press release, Konami Cross Media NY Inc. is a subsidiary of Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., and its mission is to deal with brand management and production for multiple platforms.
As for Konami's press release itself, it reads as follows:
"
On the heels of a year filled with both change and growth. Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. has announced that its New York City outpost, 4K Media Inc. has been renamed Konami Cross Media NY Inc. to reflect the company’s evolving, 360-degree approach to managing intellectual property (IP) for some of the world’s most iconic gaming brands, such as ‘Yu-Gi-Oh! Bomberman,’ ‘Contra’ and ‘Frogger.'"
This agrees with Konami recently revealing their Anniversary Collection Arcade Classics, which will be bringing back some of their classic titles. The developer also announced anniversary collections for Castlevania and Contra, which definitely looks like their first step into them wanting to revive some of their old franchises.
