Many gamers were disheartened last year when news of Clover Studio's imminent closure was revealed to the public. Now, a couple of months later, the future for fans of Clover Studios may be brighter then ever.

Seeds is a new gaming development company, conceived and constructed by three of the biggest faces in Clover Studios and Capcom. The company will be headed by Viewtiful Joe producer Atsushi Inaba, Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya, and industry legend Shinji Mikami, creator of the Residen Evil franchise.

Seeds' website, whose design emulates the retro days of Capcom and Nintendo, the modern gaming scene, and Clover Studio's old visual trademarks, offers up some information on the direction the company is intending to take itself: "We are a group of creators who have already created colorful products. Now, standing on new ground, and even as the soil has changed, our passion to pursue new play hasn't changed. We are challenging ourselves on a global scale to create entertainment products with a new, fresh feeling. We need more seeds."

This all begs the question about Clover Studio's imminent closure. A quick glance makes it clear that Seeds' name is indicative of it's rebirth away from Capcom, whilst inheriting the approach to the gaming that made Clover Studios so famous in the first place.

Of course, it will be the games that matter at the end of the day. It will be an exciting wait to see what will eventually come out of the minds of the people who originally birthed one of the most unique and inventive gaming companies of the last decade.
