Neverland Company Inc. (株式会社ネバーランドカンパニー, Kabushiki-gaisha Nabārando Kanpanī) was a Japanese video game developer founded on May 7, 1993. It has developed games for Super NES, Dreamcast, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Color, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3 and the Wii. The most notable games this company developed were part of the Lufia and Rune Factory series of video games. On November 29, 2013, the company announced that it would cease operations and file for bankruptcy. The very next day, Rune Factory producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto of Marvelous AQL, the series publisher, said that while what their next project was a secret, "the staff members are still doing great." In February 2014, it was revealed that the Rune Factory development team had been hired by Marvelous AQL, and that they were developing the Nintendo 3DS simulation role-playing video game Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven.
