Square Enix has announced that Square Enix and Ubisoft Japan have entered into an exclusive distribution agreement under which Square Enix is entitled to distribute Ubisoft Group games exclusively in Japan starting April 2009.
In the increasingly consolidated video game industry, Square Enix has been implementing strategic initiatives to expand its product lineup and strengthen its presence as a global game publisher.
In 2008, the company began publishing third-party titles in PAL territories, and in December 2008, published its first overseas-produced game in Japan with the launch of UK-based Frontier Developments LostWinds for WiiWare. This exclusive distribution agreement for Ubisoft Group games will be another key step to achieve the aforementioned goal.
