Rise of the Ronin Devs' Unannounced AAA Title in the Works

Koei Tecmo's Q1 2024 financial report unveils an exciting lineup of upcoming games, including a new Dynasty Warriors title and a currently unannounced AAA game.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins – A New Era of Tactical Action

Omega Force is developing "Dynasty Warriors Origins," a fresh take on the popular musou series. This tactical action game, starring a "Nameless Hero," is set during the Three Kingdoms period and marks the first full Dynasty Warriors title since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9. Launching in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

Other Upcoming Releases and a Mystery AAA Title

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

Koei Tecmo's Q1 profits were significantly boosted by continued sales of Rise of the Ronin, highlighting its ambition to become a major player in the AAA market. The company's establishment of a dedicated AAA studio underscores this commitment to consistent AAA game releases.

Koei Tecmo aims to create a sustainable system for producing large-scale titles, signaling a future of continuous AAA releases. While details remain scarce, the unannounced AAA project promises to be a significant addition to their portfolio.
