European publishing and distribution for major game franchises
Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe publishes and distributes games across Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific from its Lyon headquarters. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward interns and marketing-adjacent roles (marketing, ecommerce, communication, CRM), with active projects centered on promotional campaigns, content strategy, and digital sales infrastructure—signaling a sales and marketing-driven operation focused on player acquisition and retention rather than game development.
Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe is the regional publishing and distribution arm of the global Bandai Namco Group, overseeing titles including PAC-MAN, TEKKEN, SOULCALIBUR, DARK SOULS, and regional leads like LITTLE NIGHTMARES and UNKNOWN 9. The company manages game launches, localization, certification, and player-facing operations across its geographic footprint. Current hiring emphasizes marketing, ecommerce, and community management roles, with a notable reliance on intern talent, reflecting fast-scaling publishing workflows.
Core tools include Outlook, Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Office suite, Drupal, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), HTML/CSS, Python, SQL, Power BI, and social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok) for content distribution and analytics.
Flagship franchises include PAC-MAN, TEKKEN, SOULCALIBUR, and DARK SOULS. European-led projects include LITTLE NIGHTMARES, UNKNOWN 9, PARK BEYOND, and THE DARK PICTURES.
