Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 financial report unveils an exciting game lineup for late 2024 and beyond. Key highlights include a new Dynasty Warriors title and at least one unannounced AAA game.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Beyond
Omega Force is developing "Dynasty Warriors Origins," a tactical action game, marking the first mainline Dynasty Warriors release since 2018. Set during the Three Kingdoms period, this PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) title features a "Nameless Hero" protagonist and is slated for a 2025 release.
The report also confirms the global release of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake" (October 2024 for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC) and "FAIRY TAIL 2" (Winter 2024 for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC). Furthermore, Koei Tecmo is actively developing several unannounced projects, including at least one AAA title.
Strong sales of Rise of the Ronin fueled Q1 2024 console game profits, reinforcing Koei Tecmo's ambition to become a major player in the AAA market.
Koei Tecmo's AAA Ambitions
Koei Tecmo aims for consistent AAA game releases, evidenced by the establishment of a dedicated AAA studio. This new studio is already working on its first project, though details remain scarce. The company's commitment to producing high-budget, large-scale titles on an ongoing basis is clearly stated in their recent report. This signals a significant shift towards establishing a more prominent position within the AAA game development landscape.
