This year has evidently been quite fruitful for Koei Tecmo, as the latest financial reports from the Japanese publisher highlight record earnings.
Overall, it seems that the firm’s self-published video games have significantly contributed to enhancing the figures. Although sales dipped by 1.7% compared to the previous year, the success of Koei Tecmo’s own titles propelled profit and revenue to remarkable new levels.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Atelier Yumia excelled both critically and in terms of sales, while lower-budget projects like the revamped Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Warriors: Abyss seem to have also performed well.
Regarding specific numbers, the publisher’s net profit has surged by 11.4% compared to the previous year, reaching an impressive 36.63 billion yen (approximately $250 million).
With this newfound success, the firm is now predicting lower profits for the fiscal year 2026 — hinting at something about their release strategy for the upcoming 12 months.
Nonetheless, it’s encouraging to witness a company like Koei Tecmo prospering — especially since they are dedicating so much to their gaming endeavors.

Robert (or Rob, if you prefer brevity) serves as an assistant editor at Push Square and has been passionate about PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the exciting realm of video games. While he still takes fighting games seriously, RPGs are where his true enthusiasm lies. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he has explored them all. Perhaps a little too much, according to some.
