Bandai Namco will be changing its name starting in April 2015. The game developer is looking to expand outside the gaming market and the name will be changed from Bandai Namco Games Inc. to Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.

"With the advance of technology and diversification of user preferences, the Group has expanded into new products and service domains that extend beyond its previous game business domain," said Bandai Namco.

"With the start of its next Mid-term Plan in April 2015, the Company will change the names of its subsidiaries to widen the definition of their business field to entertainment without limiting them to the present field of games, thus aiming for further growth through new development of service and content businesses that utilize networks."
