Koei Tecmo Says it Intends to Refocus on AAA Development and Grow From 2,500 Employees to 5,000

Koei Tecmo, the corporate behind the likes of Rise of the Ronin, Nioh, and the Dynasty Warriors sequence (amongst others), says it intends to double down on the AAA console and PC market going ahead.

Reported by Automaton Media, in the course of the firm’s current Q&A briefing with traders, it was confirmed that Koei Tecmo “expects the console and PC recreation market to develop” due to new {hardware} releases (one thing that it didn’t elaborate on), whereas on the cell entrance, the corporate isn’t anticipating any “important progress”.

As such, Koei Tecmo intends to “steadily produce AAA titles” and says it’s going to prioritize “yearly releases of main titles”. As a part of that, the corporate can also be going to double in measurement, rising from 2,500 staff to five,000.

Earlier this 12 months, the corporate stated it had established a brand new in-house studio that might be centered on growing AAA video games. Learn extra on that via right here.
