Dragon Ball and Elden Ring Lead Record Profits for Bandai Namco

Bandai Namco announced significant profits in its Q3 FY2025 financial reports, which were led by sales of Elden Ring and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. Toy lines, such as its Gundam model kits, also contributed to a big part of the company's success. Bandai Namco has seen a big jump in profits in their Q3 FY2025 financial results from the previous year. The company’s games sector saw a jump in profit from ¥1.5 billion to over ¥70 billion. Overall, its profits soared from ¥78 billion to ¥179 billion. While all their divisions saw growth, the games sector saw the biggest leap. Bandai Namco credited both Elden Ring and Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero with the rise in profits. The release of the Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, was a factor, as sales of the expansion were boosted by additional sales of the base game. Meanwhile, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero launched to great success, with Bandai Namco announcing the game has sold 5 million copies since its release in October 2024. Gundam was also cited in other areas, as sales of model kits remained high. Bandai Namco also singled out box office revenue for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom as a contributor to the rise in profits. In May 2024, the movie had made around $2.9 million in the domestic box office. Since then, a new version of the movie, complete with additional epilogue, has been released to similar success. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero and Elden Ring are both out now for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Elden Ring: Nightreign, a new multiplayer spin-off game, has been confirmed for a 2025 release.
