About ACQUIRE Corp.
ACQUIRE Corp. was founded in 1994 and quickly established a unique development style by creating comical, character-rich games such as AKIBA’S TRIP. The company’s representative works of “wa” (Japanese-style) adventure-games including Tenchu and Way of Samurai have won ACQUIRE critical acclaim. In recent years, the company has successfully expanded its development expertise into the RPG genre, establishing the OCTOPATH TRAVELER series with publishing partner SQUARE ENIX.
About the new business line at Acquire:
Recently, Acquire’s projects have become ever larger, and the cycle from planning and development to release has become very long, between four and five years. We would like to go back to our roots and create games that specialize in small but unique games, such as "Tenchu" and "Akiba's Trip", with a shorter development time.
