History

[edit | edit source]

In September 2002, D3 Publisher formed a new joint-venture development/publishing subsidiary with Sega called 3D Ages with D3 Publisher holding a 49% stake in the new joint-venture unit.[2]

In October 2004, the company announced that it would expand its operations into North America, founding D3 Publisher of America, Inc. in November.[3] The division, of which D3 held 99.5% shares, was intended to release and localise D3's budget titles, but instead focused on the licensed children's game market.[4] with one of their first being a deal with Cartoon Network.[5] In January 2006, the company opened up D3 Publisher of Europe Ltd., which would release much of the same products as the North American branch.[6]

In June 2007, D3 Publisher of America acquired North Carolina–based game development studio Vicious Cycle Software.[7]

In 2009, Bandai Namco Holdings gained a controlling share of D3 and currently owns 95% of its stock.[8][9]

Beginning in 2010, Namco Bandai's European branch began publishing D3's titles in Europe, with subsidiary Namco Bandai Partners handling distribution.[10] D3Publisher of Europe was dissolved in February 2012.[11]

In September 2014, Little Orbit acquired Vicious Cycle Software from D3 Publisher of America.[12]

In 2015, D3 Publisher announced that D3 Publisher of America Inc. would rebrand as D3 Go! and that it would no longer publish video games but focus on publishing mobile games, but D3 Publisher Inc. in Japan would remain the same.[13] D3 Go! is also expected to release some games from D3 Publisher Inc.[14]

On June 27, 2022, 505 Games announced that they have acquired the assets of D3 Go![15]
