Koei Tecmo Focsuing On Self-Publishing And Annual Major Releases

Expert Verified By

Wants To Be Among Top 10 Most Proftiable Gaming Companies!

Story Highlight
  • Koei Tecmo will now be self-publishing and developing games in-house. 
  • The Japanese developers will now also release major titles annually. 
  • They aim to become one of the 10th biggest gaming companies in the world. 

Koei Tecmo is largely known for the critically acclaimed Nioh franchise. However, they’ve also been behind some recent hits like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Rise of The Ronin. While the company relied on other publishers recently, it is now shifting its strategy.

Why it matters: Koei Tecmo has notably partnered with PlayStation in the past for Nioh and Rise of The Ronin. Now, as it’s focusing on self-publishing, we can expect more multiplatform games instead of PlayStation exclusives. 

Koei Tecmo wants to launch major games annually.

The Japanese studio recorded its most successful release with last year’s Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. It even claimed that Rise of Ronin, a PlayStation exclusive, sold faster than Nioh. This led to the company recording its highest profit since 2009. 

While the stock values have fallen somewhat, the general revenue is still quite decent. Also, the operating income has increased, leading to higher projected revenue figures for this financial year. 

Koei Tecmo aims to become one of the 10 biggest gaming companies

Now, according to the studio’s latest financial report, it is modifying its strategy with game releases and publishing. For one, there will be total in-house development. In addition, it will self-publish its games, meaning there will be more multiplatform releases.

It will also work to launch major titles annually instead of taking a lot of years. The report reveals that Koei Tecmo aims to become one of the world’s top 10 most profitable gaming companies. They are on the right track, as the rank has increased.
