Dynasty Warriors producer would rather make new games than more remasters
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Dynasty Warriors producer Tomohiko Sho told 4Gamer that, after the launch of Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered on Switch 2, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, he would rather spend the remainder of his career creating new titles than remastering old ones. The remaster, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary, has earned “Very Positive” reviews on Steam. Sho said any future remasters would depend on this release’s performance, but he personally finds re‑creating his own work “almost a complete remake” and questions why he should redo it. While not dismissing fan demand, he hinted he may delegate remaster projects to other team members so he can focus on new games and sequels.
💡 Why It Matters
- · Sho’s shift toward original development could reshape Koei Tecmo’s product pipeline, signaling a move away from the lucrative nostalgia‑driven strategy that has dominated the franchise.
