Cosmo Machia acquires rights to Triggerheart Exelica
Cosmo Machia has acquired the rights to the game and other aspects of vertical scrolling 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 actively produce and distribute Triggerheart Exelica with the goal of making the game known to users around the world. For areas that Cosmo Machia cannot commercialize the title, the company is seeking licensees to increase opportunities for more people to become aware of the title.
Cosmo Machia also said it would also like to respect all of the original creators and carefully pass on their content.
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 i-appli service in 2008, and PlayStation 2 in 2009. The Xbox 360 version is the only version that received a worldwide release.
