Namco Tales Studio Ltd.[a], formerly known as Wolf Team ((株)ウルフチーム, Urufu Chīmu), was a Japanese video game development company founded in 1986.[1] The company was renamed in 2003 when Telenet Japan sold part of its stake and made Namco the majority shareholder. Namco Tales Studio was originally the primary developer of the Tales RPG series, as it had been since the series' beginning. In November 2011, it was announced that the current Tales Studio would be dissolved and would merge with their publisher, Namco Bandai Games.[2][3] In February 2012, it was announced that the 80 people of the Tales team would join Bandai Namco Studios.[4]
