Numerous key staff members from Koei Tecmo Games have teased reveals of new games in 2025. They made the teasers in the annual end-of-year messages compiled by 4Gamer. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The company already has several titles prepared for release in early 2025, such as Dynasty Warriors Origins, Atelier Yumia, and Venus Vacation Prism – Dead or Alive Xtreme. However, staff members from most of the company’s brand studios teased that there will be more than just those for the remainder of 2025.
The one who headlines the group is Yosuke Hayashi, who has become the leader of the newly established AAA Studio:
2025 ought to be a year where we can announce and release various titles, starting with a title from the AAA Studio which I have taken charge of! I want to make it an even more exciting year for games as an entertainment.

Tomohiko Sho, the head of Omega Force and the producer of Dynasty Warriors Origins, also teased more titles coming from the studio:
. . . And Omega Force in 2025 will not be just about [Dynasty Warriors Origins]. Of course we are continuing to develop various titles so that we can deliver the best games in the future, but I’m thinking that… we may be able to announce something interesting before the Spring season comes. I’ll be glad if you continue to focus on Omega Force!

The Team Ninja leader Fumihiko Yasuda also made a teaser that correlates with the studio’s 30th anniversary, since it was founded at Tecmo in 1995:
Since 2025 is the 30th anniversary of Team Ninja’s establishment, I want to announce and release a title suitable for that.

While Gust is already known for its developments of Atelier Yumia and the Atelier Resleriana console entry, the studio head Junzo Hosoi also teased even more titles under production:
Also, we are working on the production of even more new titles, so please kindly look forward to them!

Mei Erikawa, who leads the otome game-focused brand Ruby Party, also has new game teasers while preparing the major anniversary event for one of the owned series:
The Harukanaru Toki no Naka de series will have its 25th anniversary in April 2025! We are preparing to announce projects that will please everybody, so please look forward to that. We are also eagerly developing a new Neoromance game, so please wait a bit more for the details. . .

Last but not least, the Kou Shibusawa brand team—best known for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga’s Ambition series—also has upcoming title teasers via Yukinori Ito:
The Kou Shibusawa Brand is in the midst of various preparations from titles that can be announced soon to those that will take more time. I’d like to betray everyone’s expectations in a good way.
