Bandai Namco Games have announced that they will be changing their name to Bandai Namco Entertainment on April 1, 2015. Their new, future logo is featured above.
“The new BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. name reflects the next stage of growth and development for the company as it seeks to leverage its unique intellectual properties and franchises into new business opportunities and a wider network of content beyond that of the games business,” the publisher explained.
All of the company’s regional subsidiaries, bar one, are simply replacing “Games” in their names with “Entertainment”; the only exception is Bandai Namco Games Asia Holding, which is being renamed as Bandai Namco Australia.
