Heartbeat (company)

Heart Beat Inc. (株式会社ハートビート, Kabushiki-gaisha Hāto Bīto) (sometimes Heartbeat)[1] was a Japanese video game developer, famous for developing the sixth and seventh installments of the Dragon Quest series. Heartbeat also developed a remake of Dragon Quest IV. Plans to localize this remake in North America were halted when the employees of Heartbeat decided to take a sabbatical.[2] The company stated its reason was "the raise of development costs", despite the massive financial success of its games.[3] The company is now defunct. However, several of its members have created Genius Sonority.[1]
