Cosmo Machia has acquired the rights to vertical scroll shoot ’em up game Triggerheart Exelica, the company announced.
The Tokyo-based developer filed a trademark for the Triggerheart Exelica logo on January 27, but this is the first official confirmation of its acquisition.
Going forward, Cosmo Machia will produce and distribute Triggerheart Exelica with the goal of making the game known to users worldwide. For areas that cannot be commercialized, the company is seeking licensees to further increase awareness.
Specific Triggerheart Exelica-related products will be announced at a later date.
Triggerheart Exelica was originally developed by Warashi and released for arcades in Japan in May 2006. Ports were released for Dreamcast in 2007, Xbox 360 in 2008, NTT Docomo’s iAppli service in 2008, and PlayStation 2 in 2009. The Xbox 360 version is the only version that received a worldwide release.
