Today, the publisher is well-known for its anime games, using licenses like Dragon Ball and Naruto for various gaming adaptations. Bandai Namco has also published genre-defining games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. For more information about Bandai Namco’s vast portfolio, scroll through the list of articles shown below.
