Aniplex announced last week it had agreed to acquire Delightworks' games business through a corporate split and by creating a new company, which has yet to be named. The Delightworks' games business will be transferred to this new company.
Former Street Fighter series director Yoshinori Ono, who was appointed president and chief operating officer of Delightworks earlier this year, announced in a blog post he will move to the new company under Aniplex.
"The development and operations staff, as well as myself, will move to the new company," Ono said in the blog post translated by Gematsu. "Fate/Grand Order and other service titles will continue operations under the new company. We look forward to your continued patronage for many years to come."

SO now Ono is formally with Sony as things should be =]
It seems like a waste of an Ono to have him working on mobile games though. Sony should get him to make a Playstation Allstars or something.
Totally agree, he needs a studio that can make a full fighter for PS
well since its Sony music he should make a fighting game musical with girls doing the can can and using those high steps to kick the shit out of each other with their stilettos , while we artfully peruse their stockings and panties , it would be huge am I or am I not a genius.
Well I knew Aniplex made anime but I didn't they were owned by Sony. So you can indeed learn something new everyday, or as my parents said to me, mjk45 in your case its possible to hear or be told something new everyday.
Aniplex is part of that plan of sony (that also owns crunchyroll and funimation) to have a big presence in anime, and also some partnership on some developers for anime games. Plus they have stakes on bilibili and some other stuff for streaming on China and Japan if I`m not wrong.
Nice to see Ono working for Sony now, definitely a plus.
