EA, Koei Tecmo, and Omega Force are Teaming Up for "The Next Great Hunting Game"
Recently, EA announced that EA Originals is working with Koei Tecmo and Omega Force, the team most known for Dynasty Warriors and other 1v1000 titles, to create “the next great hunting game.” This will be an original IP based in fantasy feudal Japan and I’m just a little caught off guard. Are we going to be hunting mystical creatures based on Japanese folklore and mythology in a AAA experience? Yosuke Hayashi of Koei Tecmo said:
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. 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.
Jeff Gamon of EA shared:
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.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.
More will be shared later this month regarding this new game. What are your thoughts and expectations for it? What would you like to see from it?
