The publisher is refocusing efforts on &#8220;quality over quantity&#8221; going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report revealed Bandai Namco has implemented &#8220;stricter standards&#8221; during the development process. This has lead to the cancellation of a number of in-development projects. An exact number wasn&#8217;t provided but it&#8217;s reported to be &#8220;at least five games&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandainamcoent.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bandainamcoent.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bandai Namco<\/a> wants to avoid releasing any stinkers. With development cycles getting longer it&#8217;s understandable they&#8217;d get rid of games that weren&#8217;t shaping up. Quality is always better than rushing out a half-baked product. Fans will appreciate them taking their time to get things right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Games Got Cut?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bandai-Namco-1-1.webp\" alt=\"Bandai Namco\" class=\"wp-image-1000105906\" title=\"Bandai Namco\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bandai-Namco-1-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bandai-Namco-1-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bandai-Namco-1-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>No details were shared about which games got cut. It&#8217;s all very hush hush for now. Bandai Namco probably doesn&#8217;t want to disappoint fans of cancelled projects prematurely. My guess is they were early in development so not much was known. Maybe we&#8217;ll get clues down the road if disgruntled devs spill some beans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the time being we can only speculate. Possible victims could be new IP, spin-offs or sequels to smaller franchises. Big-hitters like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/tifa-in-tekken-8-buzz-will-she-join-the-fight-h1000103884.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/tifa-in-tekken-8-buzz-will-she-join-the-fight-h1000103884.html\">Tekken <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/tencent-reportedly-crafting-elden-ring-mobile-game-h1000104749.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/tencent-reportedly-crafting-elden-ring-mobile-game-h1000104749.html\">Elden Ring<\/a> are surely safe. The publisher wants to focus on &#8220;strategic worldwide titles&#8221; too so expect more of those. With any luck the cancelled games will see new life further down the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandai Namco seems committed to a bright future. Ditching underwhelming projects is a smart move enabling better use of resources. With luck the quality focus will result in many great games to come from the publisher. Exciting times ahead if they can deliver!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bandai Namco has cancelled development of at least five unannounced titles according to a recent financial report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2201776,"featured_media":1000105907,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[51687],"tags":[],"gpa_yapimci":[],"gpa_yayinci":[439],"gpa_platform":[],"gpa_cikis":[],"gpa_konu":[],"gpa_ozellik":[],"gpa_fiyatlandirma":[],"gpa_durum":[],"gpa_dil":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1000105905","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"gpa_yayinci-bandai-namco-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000105905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2201776"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1000105905"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000105905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1000105908,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1000105905\/revisions\/1000105908"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1000105907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1000105905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_yapimci","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_yapimci?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_yayinci","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_yayinci?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_platform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_platform?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_cikis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_cikis?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_konu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_konu?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_ozellik","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_ozellik?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_fiyatlandirma","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_fiyatlandirma?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_durum","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_durum?post=1000105905"},{"taxonomy":"gpa_dil","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkmmo.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gpa_dil?post=1000105905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
