History
The company was founded in January 1988 and incorporated as Arc Co., Ltd. in May. [1] The company spent early years as a contract developer for Sega, Sammy, and Banpresto. It consisted at the time of around eight developers; most of whom had previously worked at Sega including founder Minoru Kidooka. [5] It was renamed Arc System Works in 1991. [6] In 1992 they developed a game for the Famicom called Pizza Pop!. [7] The company produced a series of Sailor Moon video games for publisher Angel including Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jōgai Rantō!? Shuyaku Sōdatsusen which was the first fighting game they produced. [8]
They published their first title in 1995 which was Exector for the PlayStation. [6]
On June 11, 2015, the company acquired all intellectual properties of Technōs Japan, such as Double Dragon and Kunio-Kun, from Million Co., Ltd. [9] Even prior to its acquisition of Million's library, the company had been the publisher of Technōs' video games for Virtual Console in Japan. [10] [11] [12] [13] Following the transaction, the company took the publishing duties from Aksys Games for Virtual Console releases in North America, [14] [15] though some Technōs games were already published by Arc System Works. [16]
On February 6, 2017, the company acquired the rights to the Jake Hunter, Theresia, Nazo no Jikenbo, and Koneko no Ie series from publisher WorkJam. [17] On November 2, 2017, the company announced the establishment of a North American branch in Torrance, California, known as Arc System Works America, Inc. [18]
