About Deluxe Games
Deluxe Games is a Japanese video game developer and publisher headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. Founded in December 2010, the studio develops mobile and console games, combining game planning and software engineering with publishing, co-development and ongoing live-service operations. Its work spans multiplayer action, action RPGs, real-time strategy and educational software.
A central collaboration in the studio’s history is Monster Strike, developed with MIXI and Yoshiki Okamoto and launched for iOS and Android in October 2013. The partnership established an important foundation for the company’s mobile development work. Its subsequent collaborations with MIXI include Monster Strike Stadium and Ghost Scramble.
Development and publishing
The studio’s own development and publishing portfolio includes Kingdom Ran - The Road to Unification, a large-scale real-time strategy mobile game based on the manga and anime property. Launched in February 2018, the game celebrated its eighth anniversary in February 2026. Other releases include Silent Sign - Shadow Hunters and the educational title Manabimo! Asobenjer!.
Deluxe Games has also expanded into console development through Betia Pera Pera English Adventure, an English-learning game co-developed with FunCrew. The title uses interactive voice immersion to connect language learning with play, with versions for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 identified in the research.
Its multiplayer portfolio includes Outrankers, a three-team action battle game built around a 3v3v3 format, and Meteor Arena / Meteor Arena Stars, co-developed with TV Asahi and FunCrew. These projects reflect the studio’s continuing involvement in collaborative mobile production alongside its publishing activities.
Beyond individual releases, Deluxe Games offers full-cycle game planning, software engineering, live-service updates, intellectual property adaptation and game production consulting. Its capabilities cover smartphone development for iOS and Android as well as console production. CAVE Interactive acquired the company in September 2022; Deluxe Games continues to operate as an active developer and publisher within the group.
