Square Enix‭ ‬continues to expand its global outlook with the announcement that it is now acting as the Japanese publisher of Acivision’s‭ ‬Quantum of Solace.

The Bond title,‭ ‬released late last October in line with the motion picture,‭ ‬will see a simultaneous launch‭ ‬on March‭ ‬26‭ ‬for the PlayStation‭ ‬3,‭ ‬Xbox‭ ‬360,‭ ‬PS2,‭ ‬and Wii.‭ ‬The film was released in the region last month.‭

The news is part of Square Enix’s continuing efforts to expand its presence westward,‭ ‬whilst bolstering its own catalogue of titles in its native country.‭ ‬Last November Square Enix announced a‭ ‬landmark partnership with Western developer Gas Powered Games,‭ ‬days before stating that it would be publishing the WiiWare title LostWinds in‭ ‬Japan‭ (‬a deal which Frontier’s managing director David Walsh told Edge was‭ “‬vital‭” ‬for the game’s success in the region.‭)‬ ‭

“‬The global video game market is expected to maintain sustainable growth thanks to geographical expansion and diversification of‭ [‬its‭] ‬customer base,‭" ‬said Square Enix company President Yoichi Wada.

Earlier in the month Square Enix had‭ ‬entered a publishing deal allowing it to distribute a number of Ubisoft titles across‭ ‬Japan.‭ ‬The Activision deal continues to cement Square Enix‭ ‬as the industry’s transcontinental go-to publisher.
