Iida had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2024, and had been updating people on his condition via social media until recently. “Shutaro, known as the Curry Sage, who had been battling illness for some time, passed away on February 10 due to pancreatic cancer,” said a statement from his family posted to Iida’s X account . “We deeply appreciate the kindness shown to him during his lifetime and respectfully announce his passing. Shutaro’s adventure in this world has ended, but his work lives on. We sincerely hope you will continue to enjoy the games he created.” Related articles Hideki Sato, father of the Sega Dreamcast, Saturn, Genesis, and more, has died The games industry pays tribute to the late Vince Zampella: ‘Thank you, Vince—You were one of the good ones’ Udo Kier, star of Red Alert 2 and Hideo Kojima’s OD, dies aged 81: ‘There will never be another like him.

These include Lament of Innocence, Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, and as development lead on Harmony of Despair. He would go on to be one of the lead programmers on Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, before leaving Konami in 2015 e trabalhando como freelancer até a sua morte.
