Bandai Namco’s 2025 Summer Showcase Airs This Week

Sure thing, here we go:

So, the other day, I stumbled upon some news—Bandai Namco, yep, those guys, are doing one of their Summer Showcases again. They’re broadcasting it this week, apparently. I remember thinking, do these things always happen in July? But anyway—well, let’s get into it.

They’re streaming it live at, like, 12pm PT or 3pm ET. Or maybe it was 8pm BST? I dunno, time zones are a mess. So it’s happening on Wednesday, July 2nd. Grab some popcorn or whatever snack floats your boat.

And guess what? There’s this big reveal from My Hero Academia. I can almost hear the anime fans squealing already. Pretty exciting stuff. But that’s not all—they’re throwing in some other heavy hitters too, like Code Vein II and something intriguingly titled Death Note Killer Within. Sounds dramatic, right? Totally.

Digimon fans, you’re in on this too with Digimon Story Time Stranger. Then there’s Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots—I’ve always sucked at golf, real or virtual, but hey, it’s fun. Oh, and Little Nightmares III is on the list! I still remember a friend describing the ambience of those games like “monsters whispering old secrets”—weird, but it stuck with me.

Speaking of nostalgia, they’ve got Patapon 1 + 2 Replay in the mix. I can almost hear the rhythm beats already. And something about Shadow Labyrinth—I got sidetracked thinking about that name. Sounds like it belongs in some epic fantasy tale.

Plus, Super Robot Wars Y. Not sure why it has a letter, but there’s definitely a reason. And of course, Tekken 8 is coming in hot. If Tekken was a person, it’d be that one friend who punches everything “just because.”

The Blood of Dawnwalker and Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree also made the list. I have no clue what these titles are about, but they sound like epic quests I’d probably forget the main plot of halfway through.

So, yeah, seems like Bandai Namco’s got a bunch of stuff lined up. If you’re into that, mark your calendars or set a reminder—or do what I do, and kinda just stumble into these things by accident.

Anyway—oh wait, where was I? Right, it’s gonna be livestreamed, so no need to sneak into any fancy L.A. conferences. Just grab your laptop or whatever and tune in. Should be a good time, even if you just dip in for a game or two.
