Bandai Namco Unlocks 17 IPs to other Developers

Bandai Namco have unlocked the doors to some of its iconic IPs, with developers able to use characters from up to 17 different franchises.

From April, developers across Japan will be able to get their paws on licenses to work with the likes of Galaga, Pac-Man, Xevious and much more. Those who do wish to use characters and content from these IPs will still need to undergo a "project review" with Bandai Namco, however, but will have flexibility in what they wish to do.

More details on the platforms and application process will be available shortly.

The IPs to be available include:

• Pac-Man
• Galaxian
• Xevious
• Mappy
• Galaga
• DigDug
• The Tower of Druaga
• Battle City
• Star Luster
• Tower of Babel
• Adventure of Valkyrie
