Video game publisher and developer Konami is now one of the most sought after employers in the Land of the Rising Sun after a big untick in popularity after its affirmation to develop big AAA video games such as the Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill franchises. This news comes thanks to a new Japanese survey which was conducted between October 2024 and March 2025. The sample size “consisted of over 25,000 liberal arts students and over 10,000 sciences students.” Automaton Media reports that the most popular employer among liberal arts majors this year was Bandai Namco, which ranked 9th with Konami jumping all the way from 31st to 10th on the list of Japanese companies “most desired employers among Japanese university and graduate students expected to graduate and begin working in March 2026.”
