With titles such as Hyrule Warriors and Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, Koei Tecmo must be thinking what’s next on their Musou plate. Key developers shared more in Dengeki PlayStation’s 600th issue Q&A session. [Thanks, Hachima.]

Koei Tecmo producer Hisashi Koinuma:

Q: So what happened during the 10 years of hearing nothing about Ni-Oh?
A: We made two test versions on the PlayStation 3, but we weren’t able to see the fun in them. This time, we were able to find a direction that we believe can meet expectations on the PlayStation 4, so we made the announcement.

Q: If you could make a new Musou/Warriors series, what would it be?
A: Star Wars Musou.

Q: We want to play an Atelier Musou!
A: We’ll consider it if the fan demand gets loud enough.

Koei Tecmo’s head of studio Team Ninja, Yosuke Hayashi:

Q: Isn’t it about time for a new Ninja Gaiden title…?
A: There are many staff members that say they’d like to begin producing one, but due to all kinds of projects being in the works, we haven’t been able to make it happen. However, we do have some concepts for it, so once they begin to shape up, we’ll let you know.

Atelier series director Yoshita Okamura:

Q: Will there be a fourth title for the Dusk series?
A: Knowing the reaction from all the fans, I have been thinking about developing it in one way or another. However, it still needs just another push to make it happen, so we’re at a stage where we’re thinking of ideas for it at the moment. Perhaps we may be able to announce something on it soon.

Seriously. I didn't know how much I wanted it.

Hnnnng

Defuser · Oct 6, 2015

Star Wars Musou...fuck why didn't gamers thought of that before....

I keep applying Musou series to japanese IP.

CreeperBlocks · Oct 6, 2015

Oh my god.

Star Wars Musou

Imagine beating the crap out of a million droids on the battlefield.

BY2K · Oct 6, 2015

Oh God yes, please, do it.

Loudninja · Oct 6, 2015

Umm hell yes.

Boogalogist · Oct 6, 2015

FUCK YESSS....do it...DO IT!!!

Rygar 8 Bit · Oct 6, 2015

only if lu bu is playable with a double lightsaber

Kenzodielocke · Oct 6, 2015

Everything can be a musou game if you think about it.

Danganronpa,
Resident Evil,
Final Fantasy,
DC/Marvel heroes...etc..

dakkumauji · Oct 6, 2015

thanks dengeki for wanting an atelier musou~

TheSpoiler · Oct 6, 2015

Put my boys at Omega Force on the job.

Make it character action based like Hyrule Warriors was.

Give it a bunch of defining traits.

I'm in.

And I don't even like Star Wars.

Shadow2222 · Oct 6, 2015

Wow, Star Wars would be perfect.

glassgannon · Oct 6, 2015

All of my yes,
one place where lightsaber cuts will be ohko and not game breaking

ironcreed · Oct 6, 2015

I would so buy this. Imagine devastating hordes of foes with a lightsaber and force lightning as a Sith.

Teknopathetic · Oct 6, 2015

Not even a Star Wars fan and I want this to happen.

Draxal · Oct 6, 2015

This isn't the first time they've mentioned this right? I've remember reading them want to it for a year now.

edit.

Found an old link where they've mentioned it.

delSai · Oct 6, 2015

I think they talked about Star Wars Musou in the past. I'd totally buy that.

celsowmbr · Oct 6, 2015

- Farmville musou (believe it !)

ThatCrazyGuy · Oct 6, 2015

O god, make it happen!

Then do a Berserk one after.

It isn't.

Star Wars Musou is one of the "holy grails" of what KT would like to make a Musou game out of, along with the likes of Super Mario.

I imagine that since EA holds the Star Wars license to make SW games, this is where things would get interesting. Here's hoping something works out, though.

Triforce141 · Oct 6, 2015

Stormtroopers have the AI of musou enemies, Star Wars is a perfect match for that play style/game.

A remix of Duels of Fates needs to be in this game, give me this game now, it's perfect.

Also, Super Smash Musou and DOA style Super Bash Sisters when?

redmetal86 · Oct 6, 2015

Can't believe I've never thought of that before. Plowing through hoards of armies as Grevious....

Vincent Grayson · Oct 6, 2015

I still maintain hope that the existence of DQH means we might get a FF Musou game at some point.

I'd be down with SW too, though.

Rhys Wilde · Oct 6, 2015

Sad that there's no Ninja Gaiden currently in development but I'm happy to wait. One of my favorite franchises.

Boss Doggie · Oct 6, 2015

interesting what would be their break/supers

delSai · Oct 6, 2015

Just imagine all the characters this game could have. Roster could be crazy.

Queen of Hunting · Oct 6, 2015

Atleast they are concepting ninja gaiden.

Im liking this more open approach devs are doing actually talking bout future things

ZhugeEX · Oct 6, 2015

Just FYI.

Koei Tecmo did say there were working on a collaboration with a big Western IP. They didn't say if it's Musou or if it was a gaming IP or Movie/TV IP but they said we should hear about it in 2016/2017.

I doubt it is Star Wars..... but maybe haha.

I think Ni-Oh will provide them with a lot of experience to make a good new Ninja Gaiden title.

Transistor · Oct 6, 2015

It's the perfect match. It needs to be done.

spindashing · Oct 6, 2015

Oh man... This would be amazing.

Drayco21 · Oct 6, 2015

I would love to play a Star Wars musou game. Probably never going to happen, though.

a secret-boss · Oct 6, 2015

Dart Vader and musou those Ewoks

Diggeh · Oct 6, 2015

Star Wars Musou?! Oh man, the possibilities! I want to go around wrecking as a Rancor!

quite frankly I'd prefer WWE Musou

mmmm... simpsons musou... drool

Recall · Oct 6, 2015

I didn't know I wanted this until they said it. Such a perfect combo.

Sapphire Dreams · Oct 6, 2015

Strangely enough, I thought a Star Wars mosou would be cool when I played The Force Unleashed few years back because of how overpowered Starkiller was.

A mosou game with his abilities would be fantastic.

wasnt this what the Starwars Battlefront series was all about in the first place?

Zero-ELEC · Oct 6, 2015

I've been dreaming about that since I first saw the Gundam Musō, and saw a posibility of other IPs. Give it to me.

Also, hi I'm new here.

The End · Oct 6, 2015

I would play the hell out of a Star Wars Musou

Get on it, Omega Force

c'mon and Sith up Lu Bu / Nobunaga, and make Guan Yu and... somebody from SW into Jedi while you're at it

Well, Disney Interactive did publish Infinity 3.0 with the Star Wars char. The Ninja Theory Twilight of the Republic campain was a little musouish as well.

Mr. Poolman · Oct 6, 2015

I'm not into Musou games and I approve this idea!

Sounds awesome! how come nobody thought of it before?

Actually...that sounds amazing.

Draxal · Oct 6, 2015

Found the old thread where they mentioned it last year as well, maybe it got Disney Interactive interested (due to Infinity)

Atelier Musou...

DON'T YOU DARE PLAY WITH MY HEART!!

I remember plowing through shitty Empire soldiers and Kaminoans on the Xbox with a generic Jedi Warrior and it reminded me a whole lot of Dynasty Warriors.

The success of Hyrule Warriors could be used as to why it may be a successful project too.
