Koei Tecmo caused a little bit of a stir last week when it revealed a teaser website for a new game. Text on the site read "the fated battle begins", making us immediately think of properties like Samurai Warriors. We couldn't have been further from the mark, really.
Visit that same teaser website now and you'll find two horses staring each other down. In other words, the game is a new Winning Post title -- a Koei Tecmo horse racing series that's almost always been released exclusively in Japan. Oh well.
You know what's weird? We ended that aforementioned article with the sentence "place your bets in the comments section below". We could never have known how close to the truth we were...

Maybe it's a jousting title?
Have there been any good jousting games? I mean Joust itself was great but that's not what I mean. A jousting game set in GoT would be good. Of course then again so would a "run your own brothel" simulator.
"GoT:Joust & Broth"
It honestly looks like a medieval-type game. Possibly could be a new IP with that gameplay into it. Would be neat if it was, but if it turns out to just be a horse-racing sim, it would be a let down.
Are you trying to temper expectations? Making it seem like its a house racing game just in case its not now Samurai Warriors? To me it could still be a much more interesting game than 'Winning Post' - some games do have 'horses' in them that aren't racing games. The fire makes it look more interesting too - not something you expect to see during the Grand National...
@BAMozzy @JLPick Lol lads, it's Winning Post.
I gotta say, that's a pretty intense promotional art for a horse racing game
That promo image. Thought it was for this game.

@ShogunRok Well the article says its 'most likely' not definitely and if all that's changed is two horses facing each other, that's not necessarily indicating a racing game - please not a racing game... LOL
If it is, so be it. Even if it comes to the rest of the world, it won't be coming to my console!!
@WanderingBullet Damn I WISH it was that game.
@ShogunRok Yeah, it just so happens that I came across that video earlier today on YouTube and now this promo image with the horses and the flames kinda suits that game.haha
I thought famitsu spoiled it...it is totally winning post.
Lol and everyone got super excited it's Koei we are taking about they rarely surprised people
