Koei Tecmo Developing New Action IP Codenamed 'Fuji'

METI’s IP360 listing shows the project has government-backed production support with plans for global reach and cross-media expansion.

Overview

  • Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry published a list on Monday that placed Koei Tecmo’s new project, codenamed Fuji, in the IP360 program’s large-scale production (general support) category.
  • The METI entry describes Fuji as a brand-new action game using East Asian-style visuals with the explicit goal of achieving worldwide success.
  • Public details are limited: the listing gives no platforms, release window, developer credits, or gameplay specifics beyond an action focus.
  • Industry observers note the project fits Koei Tecmo’s recent output of East Asian action titles and some outlets speculate a public reveal could follow after the company’s Wo Long sequel releases, but that timing is unconfirmed.
  • The METI support signals Japan’s active push to fund homegrown entertainment IP and could speed development or broader media plans for Fuji if Koei Tecmo pursues the cross-media expansion described in the listing.
