Electronic Arts, under their EA Originals label, has teamed up with KOEI TECMO and studio Omega Force to develop the next great hunting game! Working with the team that brought us the DYNASTY WARRIORS, SAMURAI WARRIORS, along with other work in series like Attack on Titan, Dragon Quest, and Fire Emblem, they are hoping to create an original IP that delivers a truly AAA experience based on fantasy feudal Japan.
“It's an honor to be partnering with EA Originals and to have the support of a team with such an incredible track record of releasing groundbreaking new games,” said Yosuke Hayashi, Executive Vice President of KOEI TECMO GAMES CO, LTD. “The EA team fully embraces our creative independence and have become invaluable partners offering both development and publishing support. Adding the global resources of EA with our own will help us introduce a new kind of hunting game to a global audience of players and expand our reach into global markets. I’m really looking forward to the day that gamers from around the world can play this new game.”
“Building on the incredible success of EA Originals, which includes the recent releases of It Takes Two and Knockout City™, we’re thrilled to be partnering with the amazingly talented Omega Force team,” said Jeff Gamon, General Manager of EA Partners. “They’ve elevated the hunting genre to the next level, merging their proven talent for combat gameplay with unexpected and innovative mechanics. We can’t wait to introduce their groundbreaking new adventure to the world later this month.”
For now, all we have is this original announcement and this first image they have shared. More details are said to be revealed later this month, so we will be sure to cover more of the details on this project as it is revealed!
