Bandai Namco: Gamescom overview of the Japanese publisher
Bandai Namco is the largest toy manufacturer in the world, which is of course well known to many gamers as a publisher of video games. In addition to many Japanese productions, the company also acts as a distribution partner for European and American developers. At Gamescom in Cologne we were able to attend a presentation in which the group presented its portfolio for the coming months. There was no news about a DLC for Elden Ring that many fans were hoping for, but maybe there is still something exciting for one or the other. Below we have summarized all the games shown for you.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers
The latest title in the Dragon Ball series is an asymmetrical online action game. In it, seven survivors face off against an overpowered player, the robber, whose goal is to prevent the others from surviving. How and whether the players work together affects the success of the game. As a robber, you slip into the roles of powerful opponents from the Dragon Ball universe such as Cell or Frezer. In the games, vehicles, various weapons and gadgets such as grappling hooks provide playful variety. The game is scheduled for release on October 14, 2022 for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

The game is scheduled to be released in 2022, but the makers did not want to reveal an exact date yet. The release is for PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Behind the complicated name hides a typical fighter game in the JoJo universe. More specifically, it’s a remake of All Stars Battle from 2014. While the gameplay and combat feel have been significantly adapted to more modern conditions, the typical style of Hirohiko Araki’s manga is retained. The battles can be fought with 50 playable characters. The developers have expanded the range of fighters and modes compared to the original. The game will be released on September 2nd, 2022 for all common platforms.
No Man’s Sky
A little surprise was the mention of No Man’s Sky during the presentation. The space adventure was developed by Hello Games and released six years ago for Playstation and PC, and a little later for Xbox. Bandai Namco has now teamed up with the creators to release the game on the Nintendo Switch as well. Nothing was revealed about any content adjustments for the hybrid console. The port should appear on October 7, 2022.
LEGO Brawls

Everyone knows Smash Bros., but now comes Lego Brawls, a team action brawler set in the Lego universe. To do this, you create your own minifigure from countless different elements, which you then continue to develop as your fighter. The battle arenas run through every Lego theme that you can imagine. Including some of the licensed sets. As a team you can compete in 4 vs. 4 battles – also via crossplay. The game will be released on September 2nd, 2022 for all common platforms.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me
The fourth game brings the first season of the Dark Pictures Anthology to an end. With new gameplay mechanics, features and puzzles, this time there should also be more playful variety. You can find out more details in our detailed preview. The Devil in Me will be released on November 18, 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
ParkBeyond
The conclusion of the presentation was Park Beyond, the promising park simulation by the German developers from Limbic Entertainment. We had the opportunity to play the game shortly before Gamescom.
