Bear in mind when Koei Tecmo introduced the institution of a brand new, unnamed studio final 12 months that might ship triple-A titles? Led by Yosuke Hayashi of Lifeless or Alive, Hyrule Warriors, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid: Different M and Deadly Body fame, it’s gearing as much as reveal its first title in 2025.
Within the current end-of-year statements from varied Japanese recreation builders by 4Gamer.internet, Hayashi stated (translation by way of Gematsu), “2025 must be a 12 months the place we will announce and ship varied titles, together with the AAA studio title I’m presently answerable for. I hope this 12 months brings even higher pleasure to the leisure format that’s video video games.”
Nothing is thought in regards to the title in query, although Koei Tecmo stated the studio would deal with growing “new main titles” and exists “as a challenge impartial from current manufacturers.” It may very properly be a brand new IP, not in contrast to final 12 months’s Rise of the Ronin from Staff Ninja, however we’ll have to attend for extra particulars.
Talking of Staff Ninja, president Fumihiko Yasuda stated the developer hopes to “announce and launch titles” befitting its thirtieth anniversary. A brand new Ninja Gaiden serving as a follow-up to the 3D action-adventure sequence? Time will inform, so keep tuned for updates, however at the least there’s The Sport Bakers’ Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound to sit up for this Summer time. It’s a 2D side-scroller that pays homage to the sequence’ retro roots – head right here for extra particulars.
