This project hopes to be a “new framework for connecting with fans” as well as “maximize IP value over the medium to long term” with the money going into “data foundation” and the “development of content.”
It is also worth noting that Bandai Namco holds the video game publishing license for many non-video game IPs but does not own the IP itself. It is not certain that any of these licenses extend outside the specific games published by Bandai Namco or whether the development of an “IP metaverse” even falls under the category of a video game. Until further details of the publisher’s project are chalked off, there’s no way to be sure just yet.
