History
Eastasiasoft was founded in 2007 with a focus on obscure and less-mainstream game genres. Funding for the first game that Eastasiasoft published, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer, was secured from Play-Asia.
In 2020, Eastasiasoft was slated to release of Octonaut, a retro shoot 'em up originally released on Steam on 15 May 2019, on consoles. However, after publishing the game for PlayStation 4 on 23 June 2020, it was delisted and eventually withdrawn for sale, with the Xbox One and Switch Ports delayed to September 2020, at which point the game was renamed Takotan. Gaming journalist Shawn Sackenheim suggested this was to prevent copyright issues relating to Octonauts, an unrelated British children's television show copyrighted by Silvergate Media.
Waifu Uncovered, an eroge shoot 'em up developed by One-Hand-Free Studios and published on the Nintendo eShop by Eastasiasoft on 16 July 2020, was the first Nintendo Switch game to show female nipples.
