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

Koei Tecmo's recent financial report reveals an exciting slate of new games launching 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 mainline Dynasty Warriors entry since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9. Launching in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), the game features a "Nameless Hero" as its protagonist.

Other Announced Titles and the Mystery AAA Game

The report also confirmed the global release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake (October 2024, PS4, PS5, Switch, PC) and FAIRY TAIL 2 (Winter 2024, PS4, PS5, Switch, PC). However, the most intriguing news is the confirmation of multiple unannounced titles, including at least one AAA game. Details on this project remain scarce.

Strong sales of Rise of the Ronin fueled Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 console game profits. The company views this open-world action RPG as a crucial step in its ambition to become a major player in the AAA market.

Koei Tecmo's Push for Consistent AAA Releases

Koei Tecmo has established a dedicated AAA studio to support its goal of consistently releasing high-budget titles. The company's statement emphasizes its commitment to building a system for sustained production of large-scale games. While specifics about the unannounced AAA title remain under wraps, Koei Tecmo's investment and ambition suggest a significant project on the horizon. The future looks bright for Koei Tecmo's game releases.
