The latest issue of V-Jump contained an exclusive interview with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii and Kou Shibusawa who is the General Producer at Koei Tecmo. During the interview they spoke on why they waited for the PS4 to do this project, the original name they had for this game, voice acting and more.
Interesting email from Koei Tecmo which states that the company based in Yokohama, Japan seeks civil litigation for IP infringement with regards to assets used by YOUZU (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD from the game series “Nobunaga’s Ambition” and “Taiko Risshiden”. According to the email it seems that YOUZU PTE.LTD used music and other assets from those series in its own marketing campaigns online for their game app the “Defendant App”.
Koei Tecmo is establishing a new AAA studio this April that will be creating a game "independent from existing brands."
Koei Tecmo's Integrated Report 2023 published this morning alongside the company's financial results includes interesting insight from veteran Yosuke Hayashi.
PS4 owners please support the living hell out of this game, im sure if this brings in some big numbers they may be willing to bring DQ back to sony consoles as a whole. I feel like if it sales poorly then they won't even bother.
