Bandai Namco has just announced Bandai Namco Aces, a new project that aims to deliver “deep and lasting, high-quality content” to the video game industry. The new company comes from the alliance between Bandai Namco and ILCA at Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. As you probably know, ILCA is in charge of developing the upcoming Ace Combat entry. So, the announcement comes at the best moment to give an “extra push” to the project. If you go to the new company’s website, you’ll find a description that reads:
"Ace" has many meanings, such as "the best," "leading person," "excellent," and "amazing." We will continue to focus on quality, where "the best and brightest = Aces" develop "many of the best contents and services = Aces" and create excitement for fans worldwide.
As part of Bandai Namco Aces' announcement, Takuya Iwasaki, President and CEO shared a message to the community:
"We have started a project that is also our slogan, “Crossing Genres and Borders!” Why don’t we all take off into a new world utilizing high-end 3DCG? The era of Singularity by AI is just around the corner. As a member of the Bandai Namco Group, I will pass on the future that I have envisioned for a long time to the next generation. To this end, we will continue to work with creators in the game and computer graphics industries and game players worldwide as one organization and create experiences that enable them to be a task force. As the digital twin/mirror world evolves toward the year 2040, please look forward to the entertainment we will create."
Also, Kazutoki Kono, Executive Vice President at Bandai Namco Aces, shared some thoughts:
"We have always strived to provide content and services that give intense satisfaction and excitement to our fans. In the process, we have come to realize that the core of entertainment lies in the “heart-pounding emotion” that comes at the moment when creativity moves the “emotions” of our fans. To maximize this value, we hoped to create a new development environment where creators and fans could co-create in the future. Creativity moves fans, and fans who are moved create new creativity, which in turn influences creators. We aim to create a next-generation entertainment experience in which people empathize with each other and share their excitement."
