Bandai Namco Entertainment har åpnet et nytt firma i Barcelona ved navn Bandai Namco Mobile. Det nye firmaet skal ha fokus på å utvikle og markedsføre mobilspill utenfor det asiatiske markedet.
"Setting up a separate company for all our western mobile development and marketing allows us to react better to market tendencies and create higher quality content at a faster pace, as part of our long term vision for the business," sieer Naoki Katashima, CEO for Bandai Namco Europe, America, og Mobile. "We hope you look forward to great entertainment delivered by Bandai Namco Mobile."
Barcelona er blitt et populært sted for spillutviklere, så det er ikke den mest overraskende plasseringen for Bandai Namcos nye firma.
"The choice to settle in Barcelona was not a difficult one," forklarer Tatsuya Kuboat, COO for Bandai Namco Mobile. "The city is not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it's also the hotbed for international video gamer development and home to the best talent the mobile industry has to offer."
Bandai Namco Mobile åpner dørene i 2020.
