Japanese studio Success establishes Hamster Department due to popularity of its hamster games

Tokyo-based Success Corporation has established a special hamster department. This means more games about cute hamsters are coming in the future.

Success made an announcement last week (spotted by Automaton Media). The company created the Hamster Department due to large sales numbers of its hamster titles.

Founded in 1978, Success has proven itself as a contract developer and publisher. Its latest title Tales of Djungarian Hamster, which came out on Nintendo Switch, has brought in tens of millions of yen in revenue. The studio’s hamster-themed mobile game Hamaham has been downloaded over 450k times since its launch.

So it is no surprise that Success decided to establish a special department for animal lovers. The studio describes it as an internal club within the company, which will focus on creating more hamster games and content.
