Gordin Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Since they've finished up co-working on 3H, and don't seem to have picked up too many projects since, do you think it's possible for them to be working already on Warriors 2 for a 2021 release? Or are they still too busy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Its a reasonably safe bet. A lot of their projects such as Persona Scramble, Pirate Warriors and the Orochi expansion are done so a lot more hands will be available now, and Koei is a company that always has something in the production pipeline. So its very likely they are working on something. Probably not Dynasty Warriors 10 since the last one was recent and a bit of a trainwreck so they'll probably want to do some soul searching. Its possible their new product will be Samurai Warriors 5 or a new Franchise Warriors. If its a Franchise Warriors then Fire Emblem would be pretty likely. It sold well, Koei said they were happy with it and Fire Emblem is now even bigger then it was when the first FE Warriors came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregster101 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I hope so, cuz I've been waiting a very long time for a FEW2 featuring Tellius, Elibe, and Valentia characters, and having the Three Houses cast also sounds very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Possible, but don't be surprised if it ends up being Three Houses Warriors like Persona 5 Scramble, maybe with a bonus character or two thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it won't be, they said Ike and Roy would appear in it and that probably means Tellius and Elibe are big focuses. Though I'd prefer Tellius, TH, and Echoes or Magvel. Anyway, I hope they are working on the game, I'm dying for Ike to be in a Warriors game. Edited March 30, 2020 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they wanted to, not that they definitely would, and that was also before 3H was such a huge success. Just sayin'. I want Tellius and Elibe myself.

Everyone's expecting them, and Ike and Roy are both very popular, with Ike arguably being the most popular period. Pretty sure there'd be quite a bit of backlash if they weren't in it.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think it's less a question of time frame and more a question of can they work right now with the state of the world as it currently is. It sounds like people are still going to work in Japan at the moment, but we don't know how the situation may change in the near future. And Japan is a country unlike the US in that very few people work from home on any regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
know_naim Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Omega Force seem to be busy now with One Piece Pirate Warriors 4. I'm not so well versed in their dev cycles but should't it be time for Samurai Warriors 5 after that? That said they usually are able to churn out 3 - 4 titles a year, so FEW is not out of question but it's really hard to say since they have so many series under their belt (Toukiden, Hyrule Warriors, AOT33, a new Musou crossover - all of those qualify for a new entry imo).

Not really Hyrule Warriors honestly, cuz there's not much to really add in a sequel at this point tbh. The only big characters you could really include at this point are the BotW champions and Vaati. That's not enough to justify a whole new sequel. That's why I'm more partial to getting a Fire Emblem Warriors 2 than a Hyrule Warriors 2, cuz there's so many more characters from other games you could add in a FEW2.

On a more subjective note I'd also say that a sequel for Hyrule Warriors takes less precedence because Hyrule Warriors gloriously succeeded in everything it tried to do. Zelda and the Warriors series were not a natural fit but thanks to some very solid choices of the development team it was a great success. Fire Emblem Warriors on the other hand was a flawed work at best despite the combination of Fire Emblem and the Warriors series being a much more natural fit. Hyrule Warriors completed every ambition its crossover could want while Fire Emblem Warriors never even had the base ambition to attempt it. We got everything we could want out of Hyrule Warriors and several things we didn't even know we wanted but Fire Emblem Warriors is still missing the barest of essentials. As such Hyrule Warriors 2 is a luxury while Fire Emblem Warriors 2 is a more essential project. 9 hours ago, Florete said: Possible, but don't be surprised if it ends up being Three Houses Warriors like Persona 5 Scramble, maybe with a bonus character or two thrown in. That's possible but I think such a decision can be easily justified. A Three Houses Warriors should logically be very easy to make. Three Houses already used the Warriors engine and all models and stages should already be accountable for. A Three Houses Warriors can be a very easy port job. If they are clear on it from the beginning and justify it as small project to make use of all their leftover assets then I see no problem with that.

Fabulously Olivier Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I think it's very possible. Both Omega Force and Team Ninja have blown their load, freeing up tons of staff to move onto new projects. Here's a summary of what has recently been released: WO4 Ultimate Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 final dlc One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 Nioh 2 Persona 5 Scramble (JP only) And all we know about on the horizon is Samurai Warriors 5.

Precisely because they have the formula locked down, it's such a likely contender imo. Just slap a new storyline on it, promote with a new original protag, viola: easy money. Combined sales numbers of all the HW versions were unexpectedly high, that's also not to be underestimated when talking about greenlighting platform exclusive games. Then again, if there is any series that can go crazy with its ideas it's Warriors. I would have never guessed that a Persona 5 Musou of all things would happen. So how about an Orochi style Hyrule x Fire Emblem Warriors game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely restrictive. The other Persona games seem to take place in the same continuity as Persona 5, just in different locations across Japan. The premise of the Phantom Thieves having a roadtrip across Japan seems ideal for them to go meet the characters from other Persona games. They could have done it but apparently just didn't want to.

Not exactly, this is wrong thread but they take part in different years too, and we have no idea which year P5 is set in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a dream crossover than a canon sequel to a game that didn't need a canon sequel. That said... spending more time with best girl Makoto. Cough.

Oh one hundred percent behind you, but even if it follows the FEW1 continuity they could still add in a large number( or vary amount based on personal preference) characters in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially don't want things to get constrained by the continuity of FEW1. The lemon twins get a bad rap but I think they are fine. Seeing them all grown up again in a FE2 could even end up being very fine. But they are the only thing in Aytolis that have any merit to them. Both Aytolis and Grimstone are non entities that you really can't craft a proper story out of. We don't even know what Grimstone is and what their deal is aside from them being an evil kingdom. Ditching Aytolis and Grimstone in favor of an Orochi style plot where some evil badguy fuses the realm works much better. It can even bring the lemon twins back again without Aytolis dragging them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We for instance don't know their locations, but we at least know what they are about and why they are fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
