Koei Tecmo's Upcoming Game Releases: Dynasty Warriors, AAA Titles, and More
Koei Tecmo's recent financial report showcases a robust lineup of games slated for release in late 2024 and beyond. This includes a new Dynasty Warriors title, several previously announced games, and at least one unannounced AAA title.
A New Dynasty Warriors Entry 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 mainline Dynasty Warriors release since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9 (excluding a 2022 expansion). The game, featuring a "Nameless Hero," is scheduled for release in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
Other Upcoming Releases
The July 29th report also confirmed the global release dates for two other titles:
- Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake: Launching in October 2024 for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the original.
- FAIRY TAIL 2: The sequel to the 2020 RPG is set for a winter 2024 release on PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC.
The Rise of Ronin and the Push for AAA Development
Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 profits benefited significantly from continued sales of Rise of the Ronin. The company sees this open-world action RPG as a crucial step towards establishing itself as a major AAA developer.
Koei Tecmo's Commitment to AAA Game Development
The company has clearly stated its ambition to become a leading player in the AAA market. This includes the establishment of a dedicated AAA studio already working on its first project. The recent financial report confirms that multiple unannounced titles are in development, with at least one being a AAA game. Koei Tecmo aims to create a system that allows for the consistent release of large-scale titles. While details about this unannounced AAA title remain scarce, its existence signals Koei Tecmo's serious commitment to the AAA space.
