EA and Koei Tecmo are partnering on a brand new title that they’re describing as “the following nice looking recreation.” After I first learn that description, my ideas jumped to Large Buck Hunter, the arcade sequence of looking video games the place you shoot wild animals, however trying on the idea artwork (above), mixed with who’s making it, I’m guessing this recreation will truly be rather more like Capcom’s standard Monster Hunter sequence.
In a press launch, EA and Koei Tecmo describe this new recreation as an authentic IP that “delivers a really AAA expertise based mostly in fantasy feudal Japan.” It is going to be developed by Koei Tecmo’s Omega Pressure, which is understood for the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors “musou” motion video games. And an announcement from an EA exec Jeff Gamon says Omega Pressure is “merging their confirmed expertise for fight gameplay with surprising and revolutionary mechanics.”
These components, taken with the “looking recreation” description, counsel to me that the builders are most likely engaged on one thing with Monster Hunter-style gameplay, the place you group up with different gamers to take down gigantic monsters. Large Buck Hunter, then again, is actually glorified goal follow. A spokesperson for EA didn’t instantly reply to a request for clarification, so if this does transform teasing a Japanese online game equal of Cabela’s, I’ll replace the put up to let you already know.
Sadly, EA and Koei Tecmo didn’t share rather more in regards to the recreation, so we don’t know when the sport might be launched or what platforms it is perhaps accessible on. Nevertheless, Gamon says that the sport might be launched “later this month,” so we might not have to attend an excessive amount of longer to study extra.
This new recreation will carry the EA Originals label, which it has beforehand used when publishing indie titles like It Takes Two and Knockout Metropolis.
