Creating new intellectual property for games and expanding intellectual property through games

The game segment includes planning, development, sales, and licensing of game software and internet games.

ELDEN RING, an action RPG developed by FromSoftware, set a world record with cumulative worldwide shipments exceeding 13.4 million units between its launch on February 25, 2022 and the end of March of the same year, leading the Group's game segment.
In addition to the development of console games based on books and animated titles, we are also actively involved in the development of mobile games.
We were involved in turning popular content into games through production oversight for OVERLORD: ESCAPE FROM NAZARICK, a 2D exploratory action game produced by KADOKAWA and based on an extremely popular dark fantasy novel, and Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness, a 3D action RPG produced by Spike Chunsoft and based on a popular comic. We are actively developing our intellectual property, connected with anime, merchandising, and more.
Gotcha Gotcha Games is also involved in the development of the Tkool series of construction software for games that boasts more than 30 years of history since its first sales, and they are expanding the series globally to Europe, the United States, and Asia.
