While Bandai Namco Entertainment has repeatedly called upon the ILCA studio (which stands for I Love Computer Art), which has become somewhat popular internationally since it was learned that it was in charge of the remakes of Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Pokémon Sparkling Pearl , the Japanese publisher has decided to go further in its partnership with the latter, by founding Bandai Namco Aces, a new entity responsible for developing high-end games. The idea is indeed to exploit ILCA's know-how to offer superior quality games using cutting-edge technologies. The first game that will benefit from all this is none other than the next Ace Combat, since it has been announced that ILCA is in charge of development. Based in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, Bandai Namco Aces now has 350 employees and is expected to increase capacity in the coming months.
