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.
