Japanese multinational video game producer Bandai Namco Entertainment is based in Tokyo’s Minato-ku district. Bandai Namco Entertainment America and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe, its foreign divisions, have their separate headquarters in Irvine, California, and Lyon, France. It is a fully owned subsidiary of the entertainment giant Bandai Namco Holdings.
After Namco and Bandai’s corporate merger on September 29, 2005, Bandai Namco Entertainment was established on March 31, 2006. In January, Bandai Games and Namco Networks were combined to form Namco Bandai Games America, which was previously known as Namco Bandai Games. In 2008, Banpresto’s video game branch was acquired by Namco Bandai Games, and Bandai Networks was shut down in 2009.
Did Bandai Namco make Elden ring?
A 2022 action role-playing game called Elden Ring was created by FromSoftware and released by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Hidetaka Miyazaki was the director, and fantasy author George R. R. Martin created the world.
In order to speed up production and improve team cohesion, development operations were spun off into a new business in 2012, Namco Bandai Studios (now known as Bandai Namco Studios). Namco Bandai Games underwent two name changes: Bandai Namco Games in 2014 and Bandai Namco Entertainment in 2015.
