"Bandai Namco Game Music" refers to the collective work of various composers and sound designers who create the musical soundscapes for video games developed and published by the Japanese entertainment conglomerate Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. Bandai Namco, initially formed from the merger of two entertainment powerhouses, Bandai and Namco, in 2005, has a long and storied history in the gaming industry. Its rich portfolio showcases an eclectic mix of genres, with its core strength in the creation of compelling and iconic soundtracks for their franchises.

The music for Bandai Namco's games is not the work of a singular artist or band but rather a testament to a team of seasoned composers who adapt their skills to suit the dynamic range of experiences offered by the company's extensive library of games. Notably, the "TEKKEN" series, one of the most influential fighting game franchises globally, features music that complements the game's intense combat and unique character personalities, spanning various musical genres from electronic to orchestral. The soundtracks of the series, including those for "TEKKEN 8," "TEKKEN 6," "TEKKEN 2," "TEKKEN 5," "TEKKEN 5 DARK RESURRECTION," "TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT," "TEKKEN 3," "TEKKEN," and "TEKKEN 4," are celebrated for their ability to energize players and have left a significant mark on the gaming music landscape. Outside of the fighting ring, Bandai Namco's musical talents are also evident in the epic scores for flight combat games like "ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN," which features exhilarating and atmospheric tracks that mirror the high-flying action and drama of the series. Each score stands as a pillar of Bandai Namco's dedication to audio excellence in video games, enriching players’ experiences worldwide.
