GungoHo to Establish North American Subsidiary

[Koby]

GungHo, the producer of GRANDIA ONLINE, the up-coming online version of the GRANDIA series, recognizes that entry into the US gaming market, which is growing robustly, will be an important strategy move for global business development. So in order to implement aggressive sales promotion for the overseas marketing of their titles, including original titles, they have decided to establish a subsidiary in the North American region.

GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc. recently stated that they intend to develop the GRANDIA ONLINE title for commercial use in North America. In addition to online gaming, their strategy for North America includes boosting GungHo's presence in the consumer games market.

That's good news for us, because that revives the hope that GRANDIA ONLINE will actually be released. As well as it also states they plan to release it in North America. So that changes my thoughts of it being only in Japan.
