“The legacy and highly captive audience, as well as stunning

artwork which comes with Konami’s IP portfolio, creates fantastic licensing and brand extension opportunities,” says Arcan. “With a raft of excellent partners already on board such as a long-running direct-to-retail with Uniqlo, the prospects to build on this are very exciting.”
