Koei Tecmo achieved record-high first-half sales of 16.58 billion yen, representing a 9.3% year-over-year increase, with operating profit rising 11% to 2.75 billion yen.
Despite revenue growth, ordinary profit and net income declined by 13.3% and 6.8% respectively, attributed to game release timing and non-operating expense fluctuations.
The entertainment division generated 14.6 billion yen in revenue, supported by key titles including Toukiden 2, Attack on Titan, and Dragon Quest Heroes II.
Japan remains the primary market at 75% of total sales, though the company is actively pursuing growth in Asian markets and shifting toward a digital-first business model to improve margins.
Management projects full-year sales of 42 billion yen and aims for a seventh consecutive year of profit growth, supported by a dividend increase to 63.6 yen.
Future strategy focuses on maximizing IP value through multi-platform expansion, including upcoming projects like Nioh, new Atelier and Samurai Warriors entries, and PlayStation VR content.
