EA and Koei Tecmo announced a new IP today: Wild Hearts. It is described as a hunting game, not unlike Monster Hunter, set in a fantasy landscape inspired by feudal Japan. It is playable solo and up to 2 friends in co-op. The game will be published under the EA Originals label and is developed by Omega Force, the team behind the Warrirors series. A reveal trailer was aired for the occasion:

​

Wild Hearts takes place in Azuma, a fantasy landscape inspired by feudal Japan, that is now rampaged by the once peaceful Kemono - altering their environment at the cost of citizens’ lives. The Kemono range from plant-infused squirrels to the massive Kingtusk wild boar. After a dreadful fight with the winter wolf Deathstalker, players become bearers of a life-sustaining technology and are compelled to restore balance across the region.

Wild Hearts is slated for a launch on PC (Origin, Steam and Epic Game Store), Xbox Series S|X and PS5 on February February 17, 2023.
