It has been a big week for Marvelous AQL and XSEED.  Recently announced by Marvelous AQL, XSEED Games, the publisher behind the localization of games such as Ys Origin, Ragnarok Odyssey and The Last Story, has been converted from XSEED JKS, Inc. into Marvelous USA.  This new formed company will oversee all the company's US operations.

Internally, it appears that nothing will change, as the XSEED President and CEO Shinichi Suzuki will continue to hold the same title and their offices and team will remain in Torrance, California. Marvelous AQL has been making several moves to expand their market, especially with the acquisition of the Atlus' online division earlier this year and their transformation into Marvelous Online.  With Marvelous USA and Marvelous Online both under an unified global brand, AQL now has market coverage within the console, PC, mobile and online social gaming markets.

But that's not all, Ken Kutaragi, also known as the Father of PlayStation and former chairman and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, has been invited as a company director at Marvelous AQL. Marvelous AQL has stated that they hope to use Kutaragi's knowledge of the industry to further accelerate and develop their business in Japan and around the world.
