Then, Banpresoft was merged with BEC in 2011 and renamed to BB Studio, its present name.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandai Namco Entertainment established Bandai Namco Studios in 2012 to separate its publishing and development functions, but at that point, BB Studio remained directly under Bandai Namco Entertainment. This has now changed, with BB Studio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandai Namco Studios. The company\u2019s CEO Hirofumi Inagaki has commented that BB Studio will continue to run Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 and work on the Super Robot Wars series.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%90%E3%83%88%E3%82%AA%E3%83%9A?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30d0\u30c8\u30aa\u30da<\/a>\u3001<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%91%E3%83%AD%E3%83%9C?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30b9\u30d1\u30ed\u30dc<\/a> \u30b7\u30ea\u30fc\u30ba\u7b49\u306e\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u30bd\u30d5\u30c8\u306e\u4f01\u753b\u30fb\u958b\u767a\u3092\u884c\u3063\u3066\u304d\u305f\ud83c\udfae\u682a\u5f0f\u4f1a\u793eB.B.\u30b9\u30bf\u30b8\u30aa\ud83c\udfae\u304c\u4eca\u671f\u304b\u3089\u30d0\u30f3\u30c0\u30a4\u30ca\u30e0\u30b3\u30b9\u30bf\u30b8\u30aa\u30b0\u30eb\u30fc\u30d7\u306b\u4ef2\u9593\u5165\u308a\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\ud83d\udc90\ud83c\udf8a\u4eca\u65e5\u306f\u305d\u306eB.B.\u30b9\u30bf\u30b8\u30aa\u3001\u7a32\u57a3\u793e\u9577\u304b\u3089\u5bc4\u305b\u3089\u308c\u305f\u30b3\u30e1\u30f3\u30c8\u3092\u3054\u7d39\u4ecb\u3057\u307e\u3059\ud83d\udc81<br><br>\u300a\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\u30b3\u30e1\u30f3\u30c8\ud83d\udcac\u300b\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iZXyqAM4dQ\">pic.twitter.com\/iZXyqAM4dQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30d0\u30f3\u30c0\u30a4\u30ca\u30e0\u30b3\u30b9\u30bf\u30b8\u30aa (@BNStudios_info) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BNStudios_info\/status\/1808317758360412609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With BB Studio coming directly under a company focused on game development, fans are interpreting this organizational change as a sign to be optimistic about new Super Robot Wars titles down the line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BB Studio, the developer of Super Robot Wards and Gundam titles, has become a fully owned subsidiary of Bandai Namco Studios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":33358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-33354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
