Japanese authorities reveal the existence of a new project from the developers of Nioh

A Japanese government subsidy program for the entertainment industry revealed a Koei Tecmo project codenamed FUJI.

Koei Tecmo develops titles like Ninja Gaiden, Nioh, Dynasty Warriors, and Wo Long. The company documents for the local industry support program confirm the existence of this new game.

The project represents a new franchise rather than a sequel to an existing series. The brief description highlights eastern aesthetics and fast-paced action.

Details remain scarce. Given the studio’s history, the game likely draws inspiration from Asian history or culture, though the setting remains unconfirmed.

The release schedule for FUJI is unknown. Koei Tecmo may unveil the game after the launch of Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, which is set for 2027.
