Atlus alone accounted for an impressive 22.3% of Tose’s total revenue, solidifying its position as a key player in the market.
Tose, established in 1979, has a long history of collaborating with top-tier publishers such as Nintendo and Bandai Namco. Their recent projects, including the remakes of Dragon Quest I & II and Tales of Graces f, showcase their expertise and versatility across various gaming platforms. With Square Enix also significantly increasing its share of Toses revenue to 16.9%, it’s clear that these collaborations are not just beneficial but essential for both parties.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, the importance of these behind-the-scenes partnerships will only grow. What does this mean for the future of game development, and how will Tose’s role as a ghost developer shape the industry moving forward?
