Bandai Namco Studio job listing indicates new fighting game with online features and character customisation

Bandai Namco Studio Inc is developing a new fighting game project that will include online features and character customisation, according to details revealed in a recent job listing.

The company published a recruitment notice for the position of Game Designer, which provides insight into the development of an unannounced fighting game currently in production.

The listing indicates that the project is in an early stage and outlines several responsibilities connected to the design and planning of the title.

According to the description, the successful applicant will work on planning and designing a fighting game intended to “captivate the world”. The role involves contributing to core aspects of the project, including game systems and character design.

One area highlighted in the listing is the development of online functionality. Responsibilities include planning communication and networking systems, such as online battles, online lobbies and ranking systems.

These elements have become central to modern fighting games, where competitive play and online communities often support long-term player engagement.

The listing also references work related to character customisation. This suggests players may be able to modify or personalise fighters in some capacity.

Duties associated with this area include creating game scenarios, developing animation direction, supervising voice recording and preparing scripts.

The job listing does not confirm whether the new project is part of an existing series or a completely new intellectual property.

However, the description suggests that development work is underway on a fighting game designed with online competitive features and player customisation options.
