Bandai Namco Entertainment and Bandai Namco Studios are now announcing “The Second GYAAR Studio Indie Games Contest” for indie game creators!

The aim of this contest is to actively support indie game creators and stimulate the further game industry. The 1st contest was held in 2022, where one platinum award and seven prize-winning games were selected.

In addition to it, Bandai Namco Group will fully support the creators with their strength and years of acquired know-how.
