Bandai Namco planning their own Direct-style online presentation, based on trademark

Bandai Namco could be cooking up something for its fans, in the near future! According to a recently uncovered listing, they trademarked the term “BANDAI NAMCO NEXT” for some unknown purpose.

BANDAI NAMCO NEXT speculation

The trademark itself covers a wide variety of entertainment such as “performances, shows, plays, concerts” and more. But it also covers “providing information about video games, computer games, amusement machines, amusement centers, amusement parks, sound, music, images, animation or movies through telecommunication or computer networks“.

So it can be quite diverse.

This all has caused fans to ponder if Bandai Namco might be planning some sort of online presentation in a similar style to Nintendo’s Direct broadcasts and Sony’s PlayStation State of Play.

As of course the term “NEXT” even implies some sort of showcase for future games. And why not, they are big enough to do this on their own.
