Bandai Namco has lost or laid off over 100 staff since April with little fanfare
Briefly

Bandai Namco has reportedly lost over 100 employees since April 2024, raising questions about its internal challenges. The departures largely stemmed from the fallout of the poorly received MMORPG Blue Protocol, which was pulled offline and its Western release cancelled. Some ex-developers are pursuing a spiritual successor under a Tencent subsidiary. However, the company's financial health appears robust, with significant operating profit growth driven by successful titles like Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. This contrast highlights a disparity between employee turnover and overall business success.
Despite significant staff losses, Bandai Namco's recent financial reports indicate growth, suggesting a possible disconnect between internal struggles and overall company performance.
