Unveiled: Ronin Devs' Enigmatic AAA Project

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 Era Begins

Omega Force 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 (excluding the 2022 expansion). The game, featuring a "Nameless Hero," is slated for a 2025 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

Other Upcoming Titles

The report also confirms 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).

Furthermore, Koei Tecmo is actively developing multiple unannounced projects, including at least one AAA title. The success of Rise of the Ronin, with its strong repeat sales, fuels their ambition to become a leading AAA developer.

Koei Tecmo's AAA Ambitions

Koei Tecmo aims for consistent AAA game releases. The establishment of a dedicated AAA studio underscores this commitment to large-scale title production and long-term growth in the high-budget gaming market. While details about their unannounced AAA title remain scarce, the company's strategic moves suggest a significant push into the AAA gaming sphere.
