Unless you're deeply invested in Japanese game development history, you've probably never heard of Tose, but there's a decent chance you've played one of the thousands of games the 45-year-old support studio has contributed to. In 2024, the company was in pretty dire financial straits due to a string of canceled projects, but now it's managed to turn things around thanks in large part to its work on Tales of Graces f Remastered.
In July 2024, Tose reported a 27.6% decline in sales, ultimately resulting in an operating loss of 599 million yen. According to Automaton's translation, the losses were largely down to a number of the company's clients canceling in-development projects.
