- Dragon Ball, Elden Ring publisher is putting $130 million into an "IP metaverse" - 8 February 2022
Bandai Namco has unveiled plans to invest ¥15.0 billion - roughly $130 million - into creating an intellectual property metaverse, which certainly is a flashy array of corporate buzzwords. The project is a key part of the publisher's mid-term plan for the next three years and aims to accomplish three goals: connect with fans through intellectual properties, increase the value of those brands while doing so, and strengthen the company's position in various parts of the world as a result (thanks, VGC ). Bandai Namco wants to develop a metaverse for each IP as a new framework intended for connecting fans. "In this IP metaverse, we are anticipating virtual spaces that will enable customers to enjoy a wide range of entertainment on an IP axis, as well as frameworks that leverage Bandai Namco's distinctive strengths to fuse physical products and venues with digital elements." Once these commu…

Bandai Namco announced last year that the anime fighting game Jump Force and all its DLC would be delisted in February 2022 , and, well... It's February 2022.

DLC will also be delisted at this time. If you buy it, you will continue to have access to the game and any DLC you've purchased after Jump Force is delisted. However, most online services will be shut down on August 2…

- Jump Force devs accidentally released playable, unfinished DLC characters - 18 November 2020
Like any big-rostered brawler these days, Jump Force continues to provide new characters through DLC - but the latest release wasn't actually an intentional one. After dataminers got access to fully playable versions of upcoming DLC characters, Bandai Namco has confirmed that those roster members are indeed the next additions to the game - but one of them, at least, isn't finished yet. Yoruichi Shihoin from Bleach and Giorno Giovanna from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure were both added to the PC game files for Jump Force earlier this month. They weren't selectable without modification, but dataminers soon did the work to play as them. Both characters appeared to be basically finished, though some elements of Giorno in particular looked a bit weak, including his ultimate. "We would like to clarify that since DLC character 'Giorno Giovanna' is still under development, the final version of this c…
