H2 Interactive Co., Ltd. (에이치투 인터렉티브) is a South Korean game publisher, best known as one of the leading Korean studios for publishing and localizing games for the region. They were involved with localizing the South Korean release of Drawn to Life: Two Realms[1].
History[edit]
H2 Interactive was founded in 2009, beginning early on as a publisher and localizer for many AAA games that saw release in South Korea. The most notable releases from them are their collaborations with Arc System Works, and has formed partnerships with other big studios such as Sega and Bethesda. They are also behind Direct Games, a leading digital distribution platform for PC games in the region, as well as one of the first to do so.
H2 was only involved with the series for a brief instance of localization. Sometime in 2020, 505 Games reached out to the studio to handle the South Korean release of the game - the only instance of a regional publisher for the game. This version released on December 10th, 2020 under the name Draw, Touch: Two Kingdoms (그려라, 터치: 두 개의 왕국 - Geuleyola, Teochi: Du Gaeui Wang-gug). Not much info is known about this version outside of this, although there have been no known reports of localization errors unlike the game's Japanese release, suggesting this version was handled much more carefully.
