Bandai Namco has been building its lineup recently with popular releasessuch asKatamari Damacy RerollandLittle Nightmares 2, and is seemingly unafraid of discounting more recent titles. The publisher has a solid lineup of games available, and a publisher sale from a company with such a diverse lineup of games is likely to offer something to suit every gamer. For anime fans, Bandai Namco also publishes games set in the universes of popular shows such asNarutoandDragon Ball Z, as well as some sleeper hits, likeLittle Witch Academia: Chamber of Time.
Bandai Namco’s strong sale lineup this weekend comes very close to therumored beginning of the Steam Summer Sale, so even those who miss out may have another chance to pick up some of these games. However, the Steam Summer Sale is unlikely to include everything in the Bandai Namco Publisher Sale, so it may be better for fans of the games Bandai Namco have published to pick them up now.
Interestingly, some games that are not actually on sale are included on the sale page, namely games that at the time of writing are not released yet.Scarlet Nexusis one such game, indicating that Bandai Namco likely chose to position these games in the same space as games on sale to bring attention to the titles, and show the audience that the publisher is prepared to build up its already impressive catalog even more. However, some more confusing choices are also still full-price;games likeDark Souls Remasteredaren’t discounted despite being released in 2018.
