Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 financial report unveils an exciting lineup of upcoming games, including a new Dynasty Warriors title and a yet-to-be-announced AAA game.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – A New Chapter in Musou Action

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. The game, featuring a "Nameless Hero," is slated for release in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

Other Upcoming Releases and a Mysterious AAA Project

The report also confirms the global release of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake" in October 2024 (PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC) and "FAIRY TAIL 2" this winter (PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC). However, the most intriguing news is the confirmation of at least one unannounced AAA title currently in development.

The success of Rise of the Ronin, with its strong repeat sales, fueled Koei Tecmo's confidence in its ability to compete in the AAA market. The company's establishment of a dedicated AAA studio signals a long-term commitment to consistently releasing high-budget titles.

Koei Tecmo aims to build a robust system for continuous AAA game releases, solidifying its position as a major player in the industry. While details about the unannounced AAA title remain scarce, the company's ambitious plans promise exciting developments for gamers in the coming years.
