According to this Reuters report, Koei and Tecmo have agreed terms to merge and will combine under a holding company in April next year.

The deal is worth $207 million.

Each Tecmo share will be exchanged for 0.9 shares in the holding company, while one share in the holding firm, called Tecmo Koei Holdings, will be allotted to each Koei share, allowing Koei shareholders to take three quarters of the new corporation.

More through there.

Koei, Where is my Romance of the three kingdoms next gen? I also suggest you take Ninja Gaiden back to 2.5D.

It was Tecmo that was worth $207 million. Koei’s a much bigger fish, I think.

I also wish they would make a new ROTK game.

I’m a bit worried about it now :( ..
