Bandai Namco introduced its monetary outcomes for the primary 9 months of the fiscal 12 months, associated to the interval between April 1 and December 31, 2022.

Gross sales of Elden Ring continued to be sturdy, although it was launched within the earlier fiscal 12 months, and it is cited as one of many causes for optimistic monetary efficiency. On high of that, video games launched within the third quarter of the fiscal 12 months had been strong. Talking of community content material (cellular and browser video games) mainstay IPs like Dragon Ball and One Piece did properly.
The total-year outlook for the entire firm is 940,000 million yen in gross sales and 128,000 million yen in working revenue, each figures are up year-on-year.

Whereas Bandai Namco expects the full-year efficiency of cellular video games to be up year-on-year, the corporate does not anticipate console video games to succeed in the large 174.4 million yen end result from final 12 months as they probably will not have the ability to compete with the This autumn launch of Elden Ring.
