Today Electronic Arts and Koei Tecmo announced a partnership for the release of a new hunting action game named Wild Hearts.
The game will release on February 17, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Origin, Steam, and Epic Game Store.
Today we get to see a trailer and a gallery of screenshots, but an extended gameplay reveal is coming October 5.
The game wears its Japanese inspiration on the sleeve with a world inspired by feudal Japan named Azuma. Even the beasts you’re going to hunt are named “Kemono” which literally means “beast” in Japanese.
It’s developed by Omega Force, Koei Tecmo’s brand known for the Warriors franchise. That being said, you’d be wrong if you thought this is their first experience in the hunting genre. Omega Force started with it all the way back in 2013 with Toukiden: The Age of Demons, followed by Tiukiden 2 in 2016.
Wild Hearts feature unique crafting mechanics focusing on machines named Karakuri, sophisticated machines fruit of ancient technology,
Three-player co-op will be supported alongside cross-play on all platforms.
The game will feature full voice overs in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German and Spanish and it’ll be priced at $69.99.
