This M&A is a strategy to leap forward as a competitive content company in the global market by combining G Holdings' IP-based game publishing capabilities with Gunosy Group's game media and payment solutions.
G Holdings is a game publisher specializing in Japanese anime and manga IP. It has secured a stable revenue base by releasing various mobile games through collaborations with external developers.
