EA Originals & Koei Tecmo Team Up for a New Feudal‑Japan Hunting Adventure
Video game lovers still can’t get enough of feudal Japan’s samurai vibe, and Electronic Arts is glad to keep up the trend. EA Originals has teamed up with Japan’s own Koei Tecmo and its action‑heavy studio Omega Force—the minds behind the Dynasty Warriors saga—to cook up a fresh, AAA hunting game that promises a unique, fantasy‑filled twist.
What’s the Big Idea?
- Brand‑new IP – no pre‑existing story or mechanic.
- “The next great hunting game” set in a stylized, mythical version of feudal Japan.
- Limited info released so far; fans suspect a reveal at Tokyo Game Show (Sept 15‑18).
Word from the Wingman
Yosuke Hayashi, Koei Tecmo’s Executive VP, says, “The EA team embraces our creative freedom and brings invaluable publishing support.” He added, “Combining EA’s global reach with our expertise lets us launch a hunting title that can’t be missed worldwide.”
EA Originals – More Than Just a Label
Since its 2016 debut (getting rave reviews from Unravel), EA Originals has delivered hits like Rocket Arena, Sea of Solitude, Unravel Two, A Way Out, and It Takes Two. They’re not just publishing—they’re championing indie and experimental projects that feel fresh.
Omega Force – Hack & Slash Heaven
- Iconic series: Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors.
