New Company "Konami Arcade Games" Established. Purpose: Addressing the Arcade Game Market

Konami Group announced on Thursday, May 15, 2025, that it had resolved to reorganize the businesses of its group companies at a board of directors meeting held on the same day.

Regarding the purpose of the business reorganization, Konami Group stated the following:

In recent years, the market environment surrounding arcade games and pachinko and pachislot machines continues to change significantly. To respond swiftly and effectively to these changes, the Company Group will establish highly independent entities focused respectively on the arcade games business and the pachinko and pachislot machines business, each with a dedicated management structure.
This reorganization is intended to accelerate decision-making and enable flexible, responsive management aligned with the specific characteristics of each market, thereby driving further growth and expansion of both businesses.
Manufacturing and logistics functions will remain centralized within Konami Amusement to ensure continued operational efficiency across the Group.
