Dynasty Warriors Producer No Longer Interested in Remasters

Dynasty Warriors producer Tomohiko Sho is in his 50s and does not want to spend the remaining years of his career remaking games he already created, meaning that if a remaster of the third installment succeeds, someone else will likely have to handle future re-releases.

Dynasty Warriors producer Tomohiko Sho would prefer to work on new games and sequels rather than remasters of older entries in the franchise, though the success of Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered could lead to further re-releases.

Sho has worked on Dynasty Warriors since the second installment, when the series shifted from one-on-one combat to battles against hundreds of enemies. In an interview, he admitted that he prefers creating new games.

If the Dynasty Warriors 3 remaster sells well, I think the likelihood of remasters for 4 and other titles will increase. I cannot say anything right now and have not even thought about it, but remasters of games that are not on Steam are quite possible.

At the same time, the producer does not want to work on such projects:

Honestly, I do not want to do this. It would be almost a full remake, and even now I sometimes think: why am I recreating what I already made myself?

I am in my 50s, and sometimes I wonder how many more games I can make before retirement, so I prefer new games or sequels. At the same time, I want to respond to the requests of fans who have supported the series.

Developing Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered took several years, so Sho is already considering handing the next game over to someone else, although no decision has been made yet.
