"Bandai Namco Tightens Quality Control, Cancels Five Games Amid Third Quarter Slump"

Bandai Namco has revealed that it recently cancelled at least five games in development and plans to implement stricter quality control measures following a drop in net sales and income for its digital division. The company attributed the decline in profit to the success of Elden Ring in the previous fiscal year and the lack of a similar hit this year. Despite the setbacks, Tekken 8 has been a success, selling over two million copies, and the company is preparing large-scale downloadable content for Elden Ring and a new Dragon Ball game.
