Aksys Games Localization, Inc. operates as a video game publisher with a focus on adapting Japanese titles for English-speaking audiences. Established in 2006 by Akibo Shieh, the company has developed a notable catalog through collaborations with companies such as Bandai Namco Games, Xseed Games, and Atlus USA. It is particularly distinguished for publishing the Guilty Gear series along with a variety of otome game titles localized into English. Initially concentrating on localization services, Aksys expanded into full publishing by releasing games like Eagle Eye Golf on the PlayStation 2 platform and continues to publish across Microsoft's, Nintendo's, and Sony's systems.

Although its name is similar to that of the affiliated developer Arc System Works, the two entities maintain independent ownership. Aksys is responsible for publishing many of Arc System Works' games within North America and played a role in bringing the Bit.Trip series to the Japanese market. Furthermore, Aksys acts as the North American distributor for the European publisher Rising Star Games. In 2017, the company localized Nihon Falcom's RPG Tokyo Xanadu specifically for the U.S. audience.
