Telenet Japan Co., Ltd.[a] was a Japanese video game and software developer. The company produced the first game in the Megami Tensei franchise.
History
Telenet Japan was founded in October 1983 by Kazuyuki Fukushima. In late September 2007, the company ceased operations after accumulating a debt of approximately ¥1 billion, and it officially closed on October 25 of the same year.[2][3] In December 2009, Sunsoft acquired Telenet's entire software library, announcing plans to remake or re-release the titles.[4] In January 2020, the Japanese company Edia acquired Telenet's catalogue from City Connection.
