Bandai Namco raises the quality requirements for its games and announced the cancellation of five projects at once
Bandai Namco has published another financial report. We have already reported about the excellent sales of Tekken 8 fighting game, but its success didn't save the Japanese company from falling profits.
Here's What We Know
Financial calculations for the third quarter showed a surprising figure: Bandai Namco's revenues fell by 96.5% (!!!) compared to the same period last year.
This is not to say that Bandai Namco is in danger of bankruptcy, but to show the incredible success of Elden Ring. Such a significant drop in profits is the result of a legitimate decline in interest in the action-RPG, as almost two years have passed since its release.
In addition, Bandai Namco raises the requirements to the quality of its games and, perhaps as a consequence, reported the cancellation of five unannounced projects.
It is known that at the moment the Japanese company is preparing for the release of a major add-on Shadow of the Erdtree to Elden Ring, which is likely to be released very soon, as well as a new part of Dragon Ball.
