Elden Ring DLC and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero made up for Bandai Namco's disastrous 2024, spiking profits nearly 1000%
But a terrible MMO disaster helped too

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring DLC and Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero h🔴elped drive their publisher's profits up by almost 1000% in 2024.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco published its financial results for the past financial year (which ended on March 31) early this morni♌ng (via ). Net sales jumped by just under $600 million to $3.16 billion, but profit spiked a huge amount - growing 995% to $475 million🌼.
That much growth means that while the 2025 financial year was a successful one, the 2024 year was likely substantially wor🌳se 𓂃- cancelled projects and the failure of MMO Blue Protocol meant that there was a big drop in profits last year.
Still, it doesn't take away from the success of Bandai's big-ticket titles. The success of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree should come as little surprise, but I was personally impressed by the selling power of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which was a top-five best seller in the US last year. Shipping 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:3 million copies in its first day, it be🙈came the franchisꦇe's fastest-selling game ever.
As for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, it shipped 5 million copies in its first week, for an approximate attach rate of 20% - a figure almost unheard of for DLC. By contrast, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty ex𒈔pansion hit a 23% download rate several month after launch, while The Witcher 3's beloved Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine expansions bꩲoasted 22% and 24% respectively.
Given all that FromSoft success, Bandai Namco is likely licking its lips at the prospect of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Nightreign's imminent release, and is probably pretty sad that it's not publishing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Duskbloods.
Our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FromSoftware games could soon be in need of an update.
