The Session - UPGRADE

Hey everyone,

Today we want to share something important with all of you.

After a long period of discussions, planning, and behind-the-scenes work, KetsuBro has officially acquired Magicstick Studio and all of its projects.

Over the past months, it became increasingly clear that these projects had grown beyond what a small independent setup could realistically handle long-term. The community kept growing, the scope of future ideas became bigger, and we reached a point where taking the next step required stronger infrastructure, more resources, and a larger long-term vision.

Our first major priority moving forward will be enhancing and improving The Session while continuing active development on Between Us: Reckoning.

We see enormous potential in these projects, and we’re excited to revisit, expand, and improve them in ways we believe longtime fans will truly enjoy.

And of course — nothing is changing regarding Between Us: Reckoning.

The original developer is still leading the project, and development is continuing exactly as planned. The game is currently targeting a June release — roughly one month from now — and we genuinely can’t wait for everyone to finally experience it.

Most importantly, this move opens the door to much bigger opportunities for the future.

After the summer, we already have two very exciting new projects planned, and honestly, we believe some of the best content is still ahead of us.

What’s Coming Next

Below, you’ll be able to compare original versions side-by-side with the newly updated ones currently in development.

We are improving existing characters in every aspect — including textures, lighting, shading, details, and overall visual presentation.
