Takaya Imamura Discusses Dream Star Wars Collaboration with CD Projekt Red Ahead of Omega 6: The Triangle Stars Launch

As anticipation mounts for the release of Omega 6: The Triangle Stars on February 28, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch, its creator Takaya Imamura has provided fresh insights into his aspirations within game development.

Imamura, best known for his work at Nintendo as both Star Fox 64's art director and a seasoned developer, recently sat down with GamesRadar+ for an exclusive interview as part of his ongoing promotional campaign. During the conversation, Imamura reflected on his extensive career at Nintendo—a company renowned for fostering some of the industry's most innovative collaborations.

When prompted about a 'dream collaboration,' Imamura responded by expressing his admiration for the esteemed Polish studio, CD Projekt Red, acclaimed worldwide for titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077.

Imamura stated that he is a passionate fan of The Witcher 3, and voiced enthusiasm about the possibility of working together on a major new project.

He shared, in paraphrased terms, that while he is unsure how well they would mesh creatively, he would be eager to join forces with CD Projekt Red, particularly for the opportunity to develop a Star Wars game together. Imamura's interest in blending his rich visual storytelling with a globally celebrated franchise like Star Wars is notable, especially given the thematic and stylistic connections between his previous works, such as Star Fox and Omega 6.

Both series have long been praised for their sci-fi settings and cinematic inspirations, drawing indirect parallels to the iconic space opera universe created by George Lucas.

CD Projekt Red, meanwhile, has cemented its reputation through critically acclaimed, narrative-driven experiences, evidenced by The Witcher 3's immense commercial and critical success, as well as the ambitious world-building of Cyberpunk 2077. While Imamura's remarks have sparked enthusiasm among fans, any formal partnership between himself and CD Projekt Red on a Star Wars project remains theoretical.

CD Projekt Red is currently focusing resources on the next installment of The Witcher series, making the prospect of undertaking a major new franchise collaboration highly unlikely in the immediate future.

Nevertheless, Imamura’s statement highlights the enduring appeal of cross-studio collaborations within the gaming sector and the potent blend of creative forces that shape the industry’s horizon. Omega 6: The Triangle Stars, Imamura’s latest creation, releases on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop on February 28, 2025.

The title is already generating buzz for its compelling narrative and art direction, signaling Imamura’s continued influence in the world of game design.

For those following the evolution of industry icons and their potential dream projects, Imamura’s candid thoughts offer a compelling glimpse into the future possibilities of interactive entertainment.
