Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 financial report unveils an exciting lineup of upcoming games, including a new Dynasty Warriors title and a significant unannounced AAA project.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Beyond
Omega Force is developing "Dynasty Warriors: Origins," a tactical action game launching in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). This marks the first mainline Dynasty Warriors entry since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9. The game features a "Nameless Hero" and is set during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history.
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). However, the most intriguing news is the development of at least one unannounced AAA title.
Strong sales of Rise of the Ronin fueled Koei Tecmo's Q1 console gaming profits, reinforcing their ambition to become a major player in the AAA space.
Koei Tecmo's AAA Ambitions
