Koei Tecmo still planning to work on collaboration games

For over a decade now, a big part of Koei Tecmo’s business has come through collaboration games – particularly through the Musou genre. On the Nintendo front, the company worked on Hyrule Warriors, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. But we’ve seen plenty of other collaborations as well including One Piece, Persona, and more.

During Koei Tecmo’s latest financial results briefing, one investor brought up how the company’s collaborative games has lowered over the past couple of years. The attendee asked if there’s been a policy change or if it’s more challenging to land deals. However, it seems everything is business as usual. 

Koei Tecmo’s full response is as follows:

Our policies and resources remain the same and we will continue collaboration. There have been no particular changes in the business environment, including the acquisition of new projects.

We do not make any comments or disclosures regarding the collaboration with specific partners or the existence of specific collaboration titles under development.

Given how fruitful the partnership between Nintendo and Koei Tecmo has been, future collaborations would seem likely – even if the two sides try out a franchise they’ve not tackled together previously. Is there a Koei Tecmo collaboration you’d like to see with Nintendo or a different company? Let us know in the comments.
