A Koei spokesperson has confirmed that chief executive officer Kiyoshi Komatsu has resigned due to "personal reasons." At least, that's the official explanation. Kenji Matsubara will supercede Komatsu as chief exec, promoted from his position as head of software division #4, which specializes in online and mobile content.Further implications of the shake-up are not yet known, but there is already an internal push toward switching the company's focus away from consoles and onto the online and mobile markets. A Dynasty Warriors MMO? It's a start.
