Update: Looks like Haruto Watanabe is still alive.
The virtual reality Panzer Dragoon omnibus game.
Wildman has cancelled the development of Panzer Dragon: Voyage Record—a virtual reality Panzer Dragoon omnibus game initially planned for console, PC, and standalone virtual reality platforms—following the death of company CEO Haruto Watanabe.
A tweet from the game’s official Twitter account reads: “Panzer Dragoon: Voyage Record has been cancelled due to the cancellation of the contract by Sega and the death of the producer, Haruto Watanabe, CEO of Wildman Inc. Thank you for your support.”
The Panzer Dragoon intellectual property is owned by Sega, which licensed its use to Wildman. Details on the death of Haruo Watanabe were not disclosed.

So this was going to be parts of the 3 Saturn PD games in VR: Panzer Dragoon, Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Panzer Dragoon Saga.
RIP Haruto Watanabe

I was able to confirm his safety. Detailed follow-up information will be tweeted by the person as soon as it calms down.
I came to the house of a wild man and confirmed it. It's safe. (A lot of friends are gathering, it's a human desire)
