The video game industry is getting bigger and more successful, so more companies outside the sector want to have a presence in it. Shūeisha, one of the largest and most important manga publishers, is preparing to enter the market fully.
This will be possible thanks to Shūeisha Games, its new division specialized in the distribution of games that complements other of its projects linked to the development of titles. In addition to creating new projects, one of its goals is to bring together creatives from both industries to offer unique experiences to players.
