Elden Ring and Dragon Ball maker Bandai Namco's profits skyrocketed to 995.1%

After the big announcements of Elden Ring and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, game developer Bandai Namco’s profits surged to an all-time high by 995.1%. The Japanese gaming giant announced that they are going to expand their big games to multiple platforms.

As a result of their announcements, investments came from all ends and their profit has risen to an all-time high. Last year hasn't been great for the game developer, as they have been forced to fire around 100 employees. They also shut down MMO Blue protocol and cancelled their mobile game, Tales of the Rays. These games were scrapped as they were in the development stage.

Many gamers are buying Elden Ring due to its gameplay, and after the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, it clinched the top spot in the game charts. At the same time, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero sold around 5.4 million copies, helping the developer gain even more profit. It became the fastest-selling and the third-highest-selling Bandai Namco game of all time.

The company is expecting a decline in its sales for the next fiscal year a 1000% profit is impossible. They don't even have that much stronger lineup for the next few years. Currently, they are working towards Kirby Air Riders for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. 

There will also be a new Tarnished edition of Elden Ring coming soon. To repeat the same success of 2024- 2025 is impossible, but they are now on a good path and are unlikely to fall short of revenue and growth.
