Koei Tecmo's Upcoming Game Releases: Dynasty Warriors, AAA Titles, and More

Koei Tecmo's recent financial report shines a light on their exciting game development pipeline, with several titles slated for release in late 2024 and beyond. Let's delve into the details.

A New Dynasty Warriors Game After a Long Wait

Omega Force, the studio behind the Dynasty Warriors franchise, 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 (excluding its 2022 expansion). The game, featuring a "Nameless Hero," is scheduled for release in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

Other Announced Titles and an Unannounced AAA Game

The Q1 2024 report also highlights two other upcoming releases: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake" (October 2024, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC), celebrating the original game's 20th anniversary, and "FAIRY TAIL 2" (Winter 2024, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC), a sequel to the 2020 RPG. Importantly, the report confirms Koei Tecmo is actively developing several unannounced titles, including at least one AAA game.

Rise of the Ronin Fuels AAA Ambitions

Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 profits were significantly boosted by continued sales of Rise of the Ronin. The company sees this open-world action RPG as a crucial stepping stone in its ambition to become a major player in the AAA game market. This success underscores their commitment to developing and releasing high-budget, high-quality games consistently.

A New AAA Studio and Future Plans

Koei Tecmo has established a dedicated AAA studio to support its long-term growth strategy. Their goal is to create a sustainable system for the continuous release of large-scale AAA titles. While details about their debut project remain scarce, the establishment of this new studio signals a significant investment in their AAA ambitions. The future looks bright for Koei Tecmo, with a diverse lineup of upcoming titles promising exciting experiences for players worldwide.
