Japanese publisher Namco-Bandai recently revealed its intention to more directly address Western audiences with the creation of a new label called Surge. In the competition for continuing relevance, many Japanese companies have demonstrated interest in similar initiatives.
What is Surge, exactly? "The quick and easy answer is that Surge is really a U.S.-based studio and publisher being run out of our Santa Clara office," explains Namco Bandai exec Andrew Lelchuk.
In fact, Lelchuk says, Surge actually represents a Westward migration for Namco-Bandai. "In the past, almost all of our games were developed out of Japan from our parent company," he says. "Moving forward, more and more of our games will be developed here in the U.S. -- either internally, or externally through outside studios."

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.
Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.
This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming
Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.
I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.
