Koei Tecmo has has commented on the possibility of giving the very first Fatal Frame remake. This comes as part of an interview with 4Gamer.
Next month, we’ll be seeing Fatal Frame 2 Remake. Some might be wondering why Koei Tecmo didn’t start with the first entry in the series. That would make logical sense, and we did technically see Project Zero 2: Wii Edition back in the day (although that one never came to North America).

Dynasty Warriors: Origins review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: January 22, 2026
Developer: Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
As a franchise standing at about three decades, one could be forgiven for feeling that maybe the Dynasty Warriors series had gotten a little stale. With an addictive gameplay loop that can be satisfying on a basic level of dishing out lots of damage to hordes of enemies with powerful weapons to the deeper tactical side of managing a battlefield, it has been so popular that spin-offs following the same formula have been released with different franchise coats of paint. Persona, The Legend of Zelda, One Piece, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, and more have all gotten the Warriors treatment over the years, so chances are you have at least played one of Omega Force’s hack-and-slash titles. Criticism has been labeled at the last few Musou games for just sticking to the core formula without evolving or shaking it up. Some have argued there hasn’t been any strong innovation in the series since 2003’s Dynasty Warriors 4, and although that’s a statement I don’t agree with, I can understand the sentiment of burnout with the franchise and its many iterations. Now after a seven-year gap between Dynasty Warriors 9 and Origins, what has changed and what have the developers done to tackle the notion of the series needing a refresh?

Nintendo and Koei Tecmo explain how Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment came to be
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment producers Yosuke Hayashi and Ryota Matsushita recently spoke about the origins of the game, explaining how it came to be.
Rather than Nintendo approaching Koei Tecmo, it was actually the other way around. Hayashi and Matsushita both felt that the Imprisoning War would make be a good fit for a Warriors title. Nintendo had its own interest in making it happen, with Tears of the Kingdom director Hidemaro Fujibayashi wanting to make something happen, but Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma wanted Koei Tecmo to reach out.
Hayashi, Matsushita, and Aonuma said the following in a 4Gamer interview:
