Rising Star Games is a video game publisher formed in 2004 as a joint business venture between Scandinavian distributor Bergsala and Japanese video game publisher and content developer Intergrow. The company is based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England while in North America is based in California, United States.

Its focus was to publish titles from Japanese companies for release in European, Australian and North American markets however now has a wider range of products from developers all over the world.[3] So far, the company has published over 105 titles for Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PC.

In late 2007, the company was surrounded with controversy over what appeared to be its decision to censor the European version of No More Heroes, though it was later revealed that the decision was made by its parent company and the developer Grasshopper Manufacture to release the censored version in Europe unlike what was released in North America.[4]

In 2012, Rising Star Games announced the opening of Rising Star Games USA, where North American releases will be published.
