Bandai Namco and ILCA have announced via press release the establishment of a new company called Bandai Namco Aces.
The company has been formed with a joint investment (51% from Bandai Namco and 49% from ILCA) with the purpose to develop and operate high-quality home video games, network content, PC content, and more.
The first project for the new company is the new Ace Combat game in Unreal Engine 5 that has been teased last year. That being said, despite the name and the Ace Combat-inspired imagery on the official website, it appears that Bandai Namco Aces won’t be solely dedicated to games from the popular air combat series.
The new company will be led by president and CEO Takuya Iwasaki (who is also ILCA’s CEO) and executive vice president Kazutoki Kono, whom you may know as the Brand Director of the Ace Combat series.
Below you can read the official description of the company, which is based on Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward.
We also get a statement from Iwasaki-san…
… and one from Kono-san.
