TOKYO, Slot Gacor Feb 24 (Reuters) – Shares in Japan’s Kadokawa and Bandai Namco surged on Thursday following rave reviews for action role-playing game “Elden Ring”.
The multi-platform fantasy title is a collaboration between veteran game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and “Game of Thrones” author George R.
R. Martin.
Shares in Kadokawa, whose subsidiary FromSoftware publishes the game in Japan, were 8% higher in afternoon trade while Bandai Namco, which publishes it overseas, climbed 6.5%.
Martin, who has kept fans waiting for the next volume of his hit series of novels, helped with worldbuilding for the game.
It is currently the top reviewed PlayStation 5 title, according to review aggregator Metacritic, ahead of titles such as “Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker” and “Horizon Forbidden West”. (Reporting by Sam Nussey; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)
