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 in January 2002.

[2] The company stated its reason was "the raise of development costs", despite the massive financial success of its games.
