Team Arcana is a Japanese video game developer and a successor of Examu, which mostly produce fighting games for arcades and home consoles. It is known for developing the Arcana Heart series, the company's namesake, as well as Daemon Bride series. Team Arcana's existence as a re-branded successor of Examu had been dated back to Arcana Heart series' crossover inclusion in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle.
