  “Elden Ring publisher”. This is a weird way to describe Bandai Namco.

  Especially in relation to Sony that already owns 14% of From Software and 10% of Kadokawa.

      “Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero publisher Bandai Namco” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

      … What about the Namco part?

      Ridge Racer? Soulcalibur? Tekken? Freaking PAC-MAN?
