It will combine Aardman\u2019s expertise in creating characters and worlds and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe\u2019s experience in publishing and development to create stories tailored for current and future platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Efergan, ECD of interactive, said: \u201cAs modern storytellers, the formats we create for are fundamentally changing year on year. This creates a space bubbling with potential, the chance to weave worlds with many windows, allowing people to play, watch or even perform with the IPs we create. But no matter what the format, no matter what the platform, the need for characters to fall in love with, epic universes to explore and ultimately great storytelling, will always be front and center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sean Clarke, managing director of Aardman, commented: \u201cInteractive entertainment is a huge growth area within the entertainment world, and with new emerging technology blurring the lines of watching and playing, we are keen to develop strategic partnerships with partners such as Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe that share our vision of creating new IP that embraces this new world and cements our studio&#8217;s reputation as a multi-disciplinary creative hub.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new partnership with Aardman is a dream come true, as it opens up a world of possibilities,\u201d said Herv\u00e9 Hoerdt, senior VP of digital, marketing and content at Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe. \u201cThe teams at Aardman and BNEE are a perfect cultural and creative fit to build a successful long-term partnership, and I can\u2019t wait to see what we can achieve together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aardman and the video game developer and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe are teaming up to develop a brand-new IP, driven by a shared vision on the future of entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":19659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[5630],"class_list":["post-19658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aardman","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Aardman &amp;
