EA and Koei Tecmo are partnering for ‘the next great hunting game’

Electronic Arts has announced a new partnership with Koei Tecmo and its studio Omega Force to publish an original IP.

The team behind the Dynasty Warriors series will develop “the next great hunting game” based in fantasy feudal Japan, EA said on Monday.

More details about the new title will be revealed later this month, the publisher 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,” said Yosuke Hayashi, executive VP of Koei Tecmo.

“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.”

EA Partners GM Jeff Gamon added: “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.”
