was a Tokyo-based Japanese video game developer. Established on July 1, 2003, by Yoshiki Okamoto after his departure from Capcom, the firm had close to 300 employees before it ceased operations. Okamoto’s career included work at Konami during the 1980s, where he developed arcade classics such as Gyruss and Time Pilot. He also played a significant role in creating prominent Capcom franchises including Resident Evil and Street Fighter II.

Although Game Republic operated as an independent studio with the freedom to create titles for any publisher or platform, it initially maintained a strong collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment, which supported many of its early developments. Subsequent releases were largely published by Namco Bandai Games. By June 2011, the company was reported to have shut down its website and vacated its workspace. A number of former staff members later joined Tango Gameworks.
