A video game publisher and licensing agency associated with bringing Japanese titles to international markets.
About
AS Agency is a publisher and licensing entity involved in the distribution of prominent Japanese video games. It is associated with major releases such as Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, Gladiator Begins, Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, GalGun 2, Bustafellows, and Maglam Lord. The publisher also has ties to the Class of Heroes franchise, facilitating the release of niche Japanese RPGs and fighting games for global audiences.
Operating primarily as a licensing and distribution facilitator, the company specialized in bringing specialized physical packages to regional markets. This began with the European distribution of the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus [Collector's Edition] in 2009, establishing a pipeline for niche Japanese intellectual properties. The publisher subsequently handled the budget-range re-release of Gladiator Begins [Essentials] in 2010, expanding its portfolio of localized action titles.
Within the broader ecosystem of the Class of Heroes franchise and its associated developers, these releases provided critical western access to cult Japanese gaming. The company's partnerships facilitated high-value physical packages, such as the Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator [Limited Box] in 2016 and the fan-oriented GalGun 2 [Free Hugs Edition] in 2018. Later efforts focused on modern platforms, securing the physical and digital presence of the otome visual novel Bustafellows in 2019, the budget-friendly GalGun 2 [Code in Box] in 2021, and the action-RPG Maglam Lord in 2022. Through these specific editions, the publisher maintained a consistent pipeline for genre-specific Japanese titles.
