Koei Tecmo Announces TGS 2017 Lineup And Schedule

Koei Tecmo has announced its lineup and schedule for Tokyo Game Show 2017, giving fans a glimpse at what to expect when the event rolls around next month.

There isn’t a particularly high amount of titles Koei Tecmo will be showing off this year (at least when compared to the likes of Bandai Namco) but its roughly on par with Square Enix. That said, there are a plethora of titles that fans of Koei Tecmo’s IPs can look forward to, including Atelier Lydie & Soeur: Alchemists of the Mysterious Painting, Attack on Titan, Dynasty Warriors 9 and Fire Emblem Warriors. Interestingly enough, Nioh and Dead or Alive 5: Last Round will also be present which is a dead giveaway (as the schedule will reveal) that new content will be announced for both games.
