Koei Tecmo has announced a new hunting game, as part of the EA Originals program
In a move that is totally out of nowhere, Koei Tecmo have announced that their group known as Omega Force, the studio that develop the Warriors series of games, is hard at work on a new hunting game and that it will be published by Electronic Arts, as part of their EA Originals program.
Details on the game are scarce, but a full reveal is expected later this month, though given there is a Koei Tecmo Tokyo Game Show Event taking place this weekend, it would make sense to see it revealed there, more so given their schedule lists a reveal of an unknown game. For now, all we have is the below piece of art, which does look very nice.
“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.”
There is no name, platforms or date for the game, but given its Koei Tecmo, most platforms are likely it just depends on how nice they want the game to look, will determine if Switch is included.
