Koei Tecmo reports record profits for fiscal year 2026

Koei Tecmo, a long-established player in the video game industry, has announced that it posted record profits in the fiscal year ending in March 2026. This positive financial result highlights Koei Tecmo’s growing influence in the games industry, even though gaming is not its only business area.

The Koei Tecmo brand

Koei Tecmo changed its name from Tecmo Koei to Koei Tecmo in 2014. The rebrand brought together two historic game companies that have built a rich catalog of popular games over the years. Its portfolio includes titles such as Dead or Alive , Ninja Gaiden , and Dynasty Warriors , the latter of which helped popularize the musou genre.

Financial overview

In its latest financial report, Koei Tecmo said that both net profit and operating profit increased in fiscal year 2025. Operating profit rose by 15.7 percent year over year, while net profit climbed 13.8 percent. Total revenue increased by 6.3 percent, supported in part by strong sales from new releases.

Popular titles and franchises

Koei Tecmo has brought a number of well-received titles to market, including Pokemon Pokopia , which sold 2.2 million units within a week of launch. Nioh 3 was also a success, becoming the fastest-selling entry in the series within its first two weeks. Ninja Gaiden 4 also arrived shortly after the re-release of Ninja Gaiden 2 , renewing interest in the franchise.

Future releases

Koei Tecmo continues to expand its lineup. Dead or Alive 6: Last Round was announced for release in June 2026, with extra content and new game modes. The announcement also offers a glimpse at the future of the Dead or Alive series, with clear hints given about a possible return for the successful franchise.

Koei Tecmo appears well positioned for future growth in the dynamic games industry, with a strong portfolio of franchises and a solid strategy for continuing to innovate in gameplay.
