Story Highlight
  • Bandai Namco’s profits for the fiscal year ending March 2025 were $475 million, a staggering 995% increase over the previous year.
  • Net sales increased by 22.3%, accounting for $3.16 billion.
  • The most revenue came from console game sales, thanks to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Bandai Namco has just published its financial reports for the fiscal year ending on March 2025. The publisher saw great results, surpassing its expectations.

Bandai Namco saw record-high net sales and profits, up by a whopping 995%, accounting for $475 million, $267 million more than expected. 

Why it matters: Arguably the biggest Japanese game publisher, their jump back to profitability is impressive considering they canceled multiple projects and laid off employees last year.

Elden Ring
Elden Ring Has Now Sold 30 Million Copies. 

The financial report also revealed that net sales increased by 22.3% yearly to  $3.16 billion, a massive increase from the forecasted $2.57 billion.

Bandai Namco’s revenue was driven by console game sales, which were up 42.6% over last year, a significant jump. This is all thanks to Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which performed really well for a DLC expansion.

Moreover, continuing the Budokai Tenkaichi series after 17 years resulted in a huge success. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has now sold 5.4 million copies worldwide in less than a year, which is extraordinary for a fighting game.

Elden Ring
Elden Ring Nightreign Is Already One Of The Most Wishlisted Games On Steam.

Moreover, the publisher’s live-service department also had a minor rise of 3.5%.

In the future, the company’s revenue might decline over the next year since it doesn’t have any big AAA releases planned aside from Elden Ring: Nightreign. The company expects a decline in sales of 14.4% year over year and operating costs of 41.6%
