The primary goal of the acquisition is for CyberAgent to take over the administrative and distribution aspects of the business so that Nitroplus can focus on content production, including reviving projects that were abandoned due to time constraints or lack of resource management. There are also plans for this partnership to help Nitroplus expand its influence overseas and strengthen theTouken Ranbu brand.[5] In a follow up statement released on their company website, Nitroplus went on to clarify that the type of content produced by the company will not change, only the quality and quantity of the content.[6]
