Marvelous USA and XSEED Games Announce Plans for Expanding in the West

Marvelous USA and XSEED have announced plans to expand business in the West. 

The Story of Seasons developers note games like Sakuna, which were considered breakout indie hits for the company, and how they can take more of a "holistic view" when it comes to growing their Western audience.

Under this new direction, Marvelous USA and XSEED games will be published under different labels while still being under Marvelous as a whole. XSEED will focus on publishing third party titles, while Marvelous will keep their branding on their larger IPs such as Story of Seasons.

Here's the official statement from XSEED Games.

Official Press Release:

TORRANCE, Calif. — Aug 13, 2024 — Marvelous USA, Inc. and XSEED Games today announced strategic organizational changes to support expansion plans from parent company, Marvelous Inc. Under the new structure, XSEED Games will continue to discover and publish third-party titles, such as past breakout indie hits Potionomics and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and upcoming titles The Big Catch and Moonlight Peaks. Marvelous USA will be responsible for publishing the Marvelous family of games, including the flagship STORY OF SEASONS and Rune Factory series. Additionally, Marvelous USA is providing business, operational, and marketing support to Marvelous Inc.'s arcade business unit, including the first Western product, NARUTO Emblem Battle, currently rolling out in arcades across North America.

Marvelous Inc. is taking a more holistic view as it grows its Western footprint, presenting owned IPs through a singular global brand. The changes strengthen the organization as it moves forward with larger, more ambitious scope of development and budgets, the aforementioned Western expansion of its arcade business unit, and upcoming milestone anniversaries for the STORY OF SEASONS and Rune Factory series. The distinction further allows XSEED Games to pursue titles with more freedom as it continues the legacy of discovering and publishing third-party gems from around the world, now with a more focused approach.
