It's apparently been a really strong year for Koei Tecmo, as the Japanese publisher's latest financial results reveal record profits.
By and large, it sounds like the company's self-published video games have played a huge part in boosting the numbers. While sales were actually down 1.7% year-on-year, the strength of Koei Tecmo's own releases pushed profit and income to new heights.
The likes of Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Atelier Yumia did very well for themselves both critically and commercially, while smaller budget projects such as the remade Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Warriors: Abyss appear to have performed admirably.

In terms of actual figures, the publisher's net profit saw a year-on-year increase of 11.4%, hitting a considerable 36.63 billion yen (roughly $250 million).
Given this newfound level of success, the company is now forecasting reduced profits in fiscal year 2026 — which perhaps tells us something about the publisher's release schedule over the next 12 months or so.
Still, it's nice to see an outfit like Koei Tecmo getting things right — especially since it's now putting so much effort into its gaming business.
