Perhaps recognizing the success of games hosted on social networking sites such as Farmville and the like, TecmoKoei has decided to have a hand at making their very own app game. Unlike their other console games, this one didn’t have a grand hero’s welcome sort of prequel preparations. Details of this game are still very scarce as of press time, as the administrators of Koei’s FB page have only begun to post them.
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.
OMG, so need some in the states
