Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 financial report unveils an exciting lineup of upcoming game releases, including a new Dynasty Warriors title and a yet-to-be-announced AAA game.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins – A New Era Begins
Omega Force, the studio behind the Dynasty Warriors series, is developing "Dynasty Warriors Origins," a tactical action game set during the Three Kingdoms period. This marks the first mainline Dynasty Warriors title since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9. Launching in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), the game follows a "Nameless Hero" and promises a fresh take on the beloved franchise.
Other Upcoming Releases and a Mystery AAA Title
The report also confirmed the global release of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake" in October 2024 (PS4, PS5, Switch, PC) and "FAIRY TAIL 2" this winter (PS4, PS5, Switch, PC). However, the most intriguing news is the confirmation of at least one unannounced AAA title currently in development. Details remain scarce, but this underscores Koei Tecmo's commitment to the AAA market.
The success of Rise of the Ronin fueled Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 console game profits, further solidifying their ambition to become a major player in the AAA space.
A Commitment to Continuous AAA Development
Koei Tecmo's strategy involves establishing a dedicated AAA studio to ensure a steady stream of high-budget releases. Their goal is to create a sustainable system for producing large-scale titles consistently. While specifics about the unannounced AAA project remain under wraps, the company's dedication to the AAA market is clear. This new studio represents a significant investment in their long-term growth strategy.
