Rumors began circulating some time ago that Electronic Arts was working with Koei Tecmo (Nioh, dead or alive) for the development of a new franchise. Now it has just been confirmed that said agreement is real and that it is a hunting game set in feudal Japan and which will be developed by OMEGA FORCE, a studio in charge of Dynasty Warriors, Hyrule Warriors and many other games.
Through a statement, Electronic Arts announced that it had reached an agreement with Koei Tecmo to launch a new franchise under the EA Originals label. The project will be an original IP that promises to deliver an AAA experience that will take us on an adventure to a “fantasy feudal Japan.”
“It’s an honor to partner with EA Originals and be supported by a team with an incredible track record of releasing innovative new games,” said Yosuke Hayashi, Executive Vice President of Koei Tecmo. “The EA team fully embraces our creative independence and has become an invaluable partner offering support for both development and publishing. Combining EA’s global resources with our own will help us introduce a new kind of hunting game to a global audience of gamers and expand our reach into global markets. I am really looking forward to the day when gamers all over the world can play this new game.”

An important detail is that the project will be developed by OMEGA FORCE. This is the Koei Tecmo development team that is best known for their work on various musou installments. In its catalog there are titles such as Dynasty Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, Dragon Quest Heroes and more.
At the moment there are no more details about this new franchise from EA and Koei Tecmo. We are expected to know more about her before the end of September. We will be on the lookout to share all the details about this project.
