Koei Tecmo has pledged that its 2021 game reveals will please fans who have been waiting for something special from the popular game publisher. It is exciting to see the company make such aggressive claims, considering that its websites are still down after a major cyber-attack. Players can only hope that this incident isn’t as serious as the one that recently affected Capcom which leaked the company’s next couple of years of video game releases.
Recently, the company has been quite honest with its plans for the future. For example, just a few days ago, the company announced that Nioh 2 is the final game in the series. The Nioh franchise took massive inspiration from From Software’s extremely successful Dark Souls series, featuring a third-person action RPG revolving around the excessively high difficulty and colossal boss fights.
The two-game series witnessed remarkable success, enough to push Nioh 2 through various DLC expansion packs and a next-gen remaster of both titles, but now the development team appears to have decided that the series has run its course.
However, the conclusion of the Nioh series hasn’t stopped Koei Tecmo. In a New Years’ greeting card published by Gematsu, the gaming company promised fans that it’s preparing a few new game announcements for 2021.
Supposedly these games are set to make fans shout “at last!” which implies that Koei Tecmo is planning to revive a series that has been buried by time. As of writing, these reveal announcements have yet to be unveiled, leaving players with nothing but guesses.
It’s hard to speculate what these upcoming revelations might be. Koei Tecmo is responsible for various popular video game series such as Fatal Frame and Ninja Gaiden. It is also responsible for the Dynasty Warriors franchise, which has witnessed recent success via spinoffs such as Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity.
Nintendo has already confirmed that it doesn’t have plans to make a series out of Hyrule Warriors, but it has been a while since the last main Dynasty Warriors title; a new installment in that franchise would possibly excite fans quite a lot.
Various huge gaming companies have a lot lined up for 2021. The recent launch of The Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 has opened up the gates for video game developers to run wild with powerful new hardware, and it appears like a lot of companies are already getting in on the challenge.
Time will only tell how Koei Tecmo’s plans will fit in this new generation of video game technology, but believing it can bolster up its firewalls, the future is looking great.
