EA, Koei Tecmo partner for feudal Japan hunting game

"The next great hunting game" will come from the pair, they say.

EA and Koei Tecmo have partnered for “the next great hunting game” to be set in feudal Japan.

The “EA Originals Label has announced a new partnership with Koei Tecmo and studio Omega Force, the team behind the popular Warriors series, including Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, to develop and release the next great hunting game,” reads a press release. “This original IP delivers a truly AAA experience based in fantasy feudal Japan, with more details about this exciting new title coming later this month.”

It’s unclear how more information about the title will be disseminated at this time, though a single piece of concept art has already been made available (above).

“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 of Koei Tecmo.

“The EA team fully embraces our creative independence and have become invaluable partners offering both development and publishing support,” Hayashi continued. “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.”
