Bandai Namco got a stock-price boost during TGS 2017

Such a diverse portfolio of games for the publisher

Let’s start off with this price chart. Bandai-Namco’s share-price ultimately rallied during the week of the Tokyo Gaming Show, following the likes of Square Enix and Nintendo. From a price of JPY 3602, the stock rallied to 3914 last September 29, 2017, an increase of about 8.66%. Certainly, investors were upbeat after the games that they showed. Overall, the diverse line-up that Bandai-Namco had during TGS 2017 was enough to convince investors to drive the stock price up.

Let’s look at some of the games highlighted during TGS 2017:

Code Vein

Probably the main feature for Bandai Namco during TGS 2017, Code Vein is quite reminiscent of From Software’s Bloodborne and Dark Souls but with Bandai-Namco’s anime and steampunk twist.

Code Vein will be released on several platforms: PS4, XBOX One, and for the PC through Steam.

Dragon Ball Fighterz

In what looks to be a fighting game that’s garnering a ton of hype, Dragon Ball Fighterz is actually being developed by Arc System Works, the guys behind the Guilty Gear and the BlazBlue Series. Dragon Ball Fighterz is a 3v3 fighting game that will be released for the Playstation, the Xbox One, and PC through Steam.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Ace Combat’s debut for the current generation of consoles will be in the form of Skies Unknown. After receiving a bit of mixed-to-negative reaction from Assault Horizon, and while Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation was an Xbox 360 exclusive game, the trailer does show quite an impressive upgrade of the terrain graphics in its texture, while improving on the already fluid arcade-combat system in the Ace Series.
