D3 Publisher, which is owned by Bandai Namco, has renamed itself in the West to D3 Go! This is to reflect the company's new focus on digital and mobile games. However, the firm will still be known as D3 Publisher in Japan.
D3 Go! Vice President of Publishing Peter Andrew said the following:
"As many of our long-term fans and followers may already know, our product portfolio has looked a bit different than it has in years past. We have released many fun, ground-breaking, and even memorable video games to our customers and we are extremely appreciative of our partners, developers, teams, family, and friends that helped us achieve this.
"But as we all know, the gaming space has changed and we are adapting to those changes. Our current path allows us to not focus on how many games that we release each year but to gather as a team and focus on our games as gamers (which I can attest is WAY more fun) and prioritize what makes games an enjoyable part of our players’ lives.
"Today, we are happy to announce a new brand of D3Publisher of America and that is D3 Go!. D3 Go! represents us looking forward to the future of our company and that vision is to produce the highest quality of digital games with mobile gaming being a primary focus. The D3 Go! name symbolizes our upward and onward plans to provide the best games and services for the platform, to our audience, and the properties we represent with no restrictions."
