Bandai Namco Steam Sale: grab Elden Ring at its cheapest ever price

It’s a good time to become Tarnished

Bandai Namco is currently having a publisher sale on Steam, which means that the company’s games are up for grabs at reduced prices for PC – and Elden Ring is leading the list with its biggest ever discount. Bandai Namco has a curious mix of titles to offer – there are many anime games among its catalog, but you can find fighting games, dark RPGs, and management titles as well. If you haven’t been window shopping for a while and want to be surprised by what you might find, this is a great sale to check out.

We’ve collected some of the highlights from the catalog, showing the best Bandai Namco games to grab during its Steam Sale in 2023.

Elden Ring

• Off by 34%.
• Find it on Steam.

If you haven’t heard about Elden Ring, you must have lived under a rock these past two years: Praised as the best game of 2022 and one of the best games of all time, From Software’s dark action RPG makes the Souls-like formula more accessible than ever without diluting it. Its open world offers unprecedented explorative freedom and surprises, the combat feels as crisp as ever, and the lore and story are amazing to dive into. Elden Ring is the result of everything the developer has learned over the years – and you can now grab it for its cheapest ever price.

No need to be scared: Elden Ring is easy to get into, as far as Souls-likes are concerned :: FromSoftware/Bandai Namco

Little Nightmares 1 & 2

• Off by 38%.
• Find it on Steam.

This bundle containing both Little Nightmares games is a fantastic deal for those who always hesitated to pick the series up. Little Nightmares is a horror game series and both titles are quite short, but excel in art style, gameplay, and general atmosphere. Creepy and personal horror at its best, perfect for Halloween.

You can also grab Little Nightmares 2 by itself on a 65% discount on Steam.

RPG Essential Collection

• Off by 63%.
• Find it on Steam.

Containing Code Vein, Tales of Arise, and Scarlet Nexus, this bundle will keep you busy for a while. Code Vein is a very solid anime Souls-like game. Scarlet Nexus, too, has anime looks, but is more of an action adventure RPG than a Souls-like. Then there’s Tales of Arise, which follows a more traditional JRPG direction. Three different RPGs with their own vibes and rules for the price of a single game – that’s definitely one to consider for genre fans.

You can grab both Code Vein and Scarlet Nexus by themselves at big discounts as well.

Park Beyond

• Off by 41%.
• Find it on Steam.

Park Beyond is an amusement park builder and management game, which came out this year – making this hefty discount quite remarkable. The core principle of the game is impossification: You can ignore the laws of physics (and safety rules) for many of your rides, firing roller coaster wagons out of cannons, designing your park vertically like a beehive, and more. While being light on the management, any hobby park builders will get satisfaction out of this one, especially with this discount. You can read our Park Beyond review for more information.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

• Off by 80%.
• Find it on Steam.

Looking for an arcadey flight game that lets you pull off amazing maneuvers with fighter jets? Then you could certainly do much worse than Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, which still looks fantastic even four years after release and will get your adrenaline pumping in no time.

Digimon Survive

• Off by 50%.
• Find it on Steam.

Featuring important decision-making during dialogs as well as fun turn-based combat, Digimon Survive manages to spice up the virtual novel experience with actual gameplay. If you’re in for a laid-back, but still engaging experience based on the popular anime series, this is a great pick.
