Bandai Namco Entertainment announced that it is absorbing its Bandai Namco Online subsidiary on April 1, 2025.

Bandai Namco Online was established in 2009 by Bandai Namco Entertainment (at the time, Bandai Namco Co., Ltd.).

Since its establishment (as a spin-off from Namco Games), it has expanded its business to include PCs, smartphones, and home video games. Developing online games domestically and internationally for a variety of platforms, regardless of device, including gaming machines.

Later this month Gundam Evolution servers will shut down, while Blue Protocol will be discontinued on January 18, 2025.

In response to the recent changes in the environment surrounding the game business, this merger will create a business management entity for the entire digital business. This is to strengthen the system. We will continue to exceed the expectations of our fans for a long time. We aim to provide "high-quality content that allows you to play deeply" and "various entertainment."

In addition, we have released various versions of "IDOLiSH7", "SD Gundam Operations", "Gundam Tribe", etc. Titles and businesses operated by Bandai Namco Online will be transferred to Bandai Namco Entertainment. Bandai Namco Online will continue to hold all contracts with customers and all claims and debts owed to Bandai Namco Online. Muco Entertainment will take over.
