Bandai Namco Summer Showcase: Where & When To Watch - Date, Time, & Streaming Info

Publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment is a month removed from the release of Elden Ring Nightreign, but is setting the stage for the rest of 2025 with a livestream going into detail about its upcoming slate of games. We’re well past the flurry of announcements from Summer Game Fest, but new info from major industry players hasn’t yet slowed down.

June 2025’s Capcom Spotlight was just last week, for instance, which showed off the hacking and third-person shooting mechanics of Pragmata, the upcoming DLC for Monster Hunter Wilds, and offered more insight into Resident Evil Requiem, among other things. Now it’s almost time for another major Japanese publisher, Bandai Namco, to take the stage, giving us a fresh look at games and updates coming throughout the next year and into 2026.

What To Expect From Bandai Namco Summer Showcase

My Hero Academia, Code Vein 2, & More

With a trailer for the showcase also posted to the same YouTube channel here, Bandai Namco teased many of the games that will appear. Everything announced ahead of time for the Bandai Namco Summer Showcase is as follows:

A new My Hero Academia game
New trailer for Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree
Gameplay deep dive for Digimon Story: Time Stranger
Code Vein 2
The Blood of Dawnwalker
Death Note: Killer Within
Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots
Little Nightmares 3
Patapon 1+2 Replay
Shadow Labyrinth
Super Robot Wars Y
Tekken 8

While many games have been revealed ahead of time, you shouldn’t rule out some surprises. Since June 30, 2025, marks the 30th anniversary of the original Ace Combat (originally known as Air Combat) releasing in Japan, many fans are expecting the Bandai Namco Summer Showcase to announce Ace Combat 8, seeing as it’s been six years since Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.

It’s also pertinent to note that some games are still fairly far from release. The Blood of Dawnwalker, a promising open-world RPG, is set to come out in 2026, and the My Hero Academia game could potentially be scheduled for next year as well. Regardless, Bandai Namco Entertainment‘s slate for its Summer Showcase is quite enticing, and should be well worth tuning in for.
