Bandai Namco Entertainment har åbnet et nyt firma i Barcelona, Spanien ved navn Bandai Namco Mobile. Det nye firma skal have fokus på at udvikle og markedsføre mobiltelefonspil uden for det asiatiske marked.
"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," siger 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 blevet et populært sted for spiludviklere, så det er ikke den mest overraskende placering 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 slår dørene op i 2020.
