Square Enix's current logo
Square Enix is a Japanese video game development and publishing company formed from the merger of video game developer Square and publisher Enix on April 1, 2003.[1] The company is best known for its role-playing video game franchises, which include the Final Fantasy series, the Dragon Quest series, and the action role-playing Kingdom Hearts series. Since its inception, the company has developed or published hundreds of titles in various video game franchises on numerous gaming systems. Of its properties, the Final Fantasy franchise is the best-selling, with a total worldwide sales of over 110 million units.[2] The Dragon Quest series has shipped over 66 million units worldwide[2] and is one of the most popular video game series in Japan,[3] while the Kingdom Hearts series has shipped over 22 million copies worldwide.[2]
Square Enix has owned Taito Corporation, which continues to publish its own video games, since September 2005,[4] and acquired game publisher Eidos Interactive in April 2009, which was merged with Square Enix's European publishing wing and renamed as Square Enix Europe.[5] This list includes franchises in which Square Enix, or its original components Square and Enix, or its subsidiaries, were the primary developer or publisher, even if the series was begun prior to the subsidiary's acquisition. Franchises are defined as any set of interconnected media consisting of more than one release, and video game franchises are defined as franchises which were initially created as a video game or series of video games.
For a list of all individual games developed or published by Square Enix, see the list of Square Enix video games and mobile games. For games released before the merger, see the Square and Enix video games. For games released by Taito, both before and after the acquisition, see the list of Taito games, and for games published by Eidos prior to acquisition see the list of Eidos games.
