Unannounced AAA Game Emerges from Shadows

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

Koei Tecmo's recent financial report unveiled an exciting lineup of games slated for release in late 2024 and beyond. This includes a new Dynasty Warriors title and at least one unannounced AAA game.

A New Dynasty Warriors Game After a Long Wait

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 full Dynasty Warriors title since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9 (excluding the 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 Unrevealed AAA Game

The Q1 2024 report also highlighted the upcoming releases of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake" (October 2024, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC) and "FAIRY TAIL 2" (Winter 2024, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC). Significantly, the report confirmed Koei Tecmo is developing multiple unannounced titles, including at least one AAA game.

Rise of the Ronin Fuels AAA Ambitions

Continued strong sales of Rise of the Ronin underpin Koei Tecmo's push into the AAA market. The company sees this open-world action RPG as a crucial step in its journey to become a major player in the AAA space.

A Commitment to Continuous AAA Releases

Koei Tecmo's strategy involves establishing a dedicated AAA studio to ensure a consistent flow of high-budget titles. The company aims to build a system for the ongoing development and release of large-scale games to solidify its position in the AAA market. While details on their unannounced AAA project remain scarce, this commitment suggests a significant investment in future high-profile releases.
