Of course, Rising Star published Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward for Europe, but publishing rights was always with Spike Chunsoft in Japan and Aksys Games in the US.
Rising Star did follow up by stating that they will be announcing games that they will be publishing in the near future, for PC, PlayStation 4, 3DS, and Vita.
