Koei Tecmo has recently refreshed its game development strategy for the fiscal year concluding March 2027, underscoring its commitment to pairing major/AAA titles with a steady stream of mid-size game releases (source: GameBiz).
During its first-quarter financial briefing, Koei Tecmo detailed plans to deliver six major PC/console releases, 19 mid-size titles, and two in-house online/mobile games by the end of fiscal 2027, alongside several undisclosed projects (for context, titles such as Wo Long and Nioh are classified as “major,” while mid-size includes Atelier games, Nobunaga’s Ambition, remasters, etc.).
Aligned with Koei Tecmo’s recent staffing increases, the company aims to expand its development pipeline in both volume and quality. However, as GameBiz notes, Koei Tecmo has repeatedly stressed its intention to avoid overdependence on major releases by ensuring a diverse portfolio. With rising development costs, relying solely on AAA titles has become increasingly perilous, prompting Koei Tecmo to strengthen its lineup and bolster revenue through a consistent flow of mid-size releases, remasters, and Switch 2 ports.
Among the titles already revealed, Team Ninja’s Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember and Omega Force’s Attack on Titan 3 are cited as the most anticipated major releases. Given that Koei Tecmo still has numerous projects in development (including the enigmatic FUJI, which is receiving governmental support from Japan), expect several more announcements in the coming months.
