< Companies

Started in May 1988 as simply Arc (アーク) and headed by Minoru Kidooka (木戸岡稔) [1], Arc System Works (アークシステムワークス) was originally primarily a contract developer. At some point (probably around 1995), the company was renamed to its current name and started developing and self-publishing original games. Today, the company is known mostly for the Guilty Gear fighting game series.
