Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and KOEI TECMO welcome
hunters to the land of Azuma in WILD HEARTS™, available now on

whisks players away on an epic adventure in fantasy medieval Japan.

Karakuri, players will battle giant nature-infused Kemono beasts
that are rampaging through the land of Azuma at the cost of its
citizens' lives.

“With WILD HEARTS, our mindset has always been to create a
hunting game that offers a new and innovative experience for
players in a beautiful and fantastical setting,” said Yosuke
Hayashi, Executive Vice President of KOEI TECMO GAMES CO, LTD. “The
freedom and flexibility of the unique Karakuri system, combined
with the fearsome, nature-infused Kemono, as well the ability to
team up and hunt with friends online in co-op, creates for a vastly
new combat experience – one that urges players to be creative and
in control. We’re really looking forward to seeing how players
explore all the possibilities.”
“Together with KOEI TECMO’s Omega Force team, we’re excited to
usher the vibrant fantasy world of WILD HEARTS into our lineup of
EA Originals titles,” said Stuart Lang, Vice President, Global
Brand, Electronic Arts. “Omega Force has raised the bar for the
hunting genre, redefining the AAA hunting experience for a new
generation of players.”
From the sun-soaked Amaterasu hawk to the massive Kingtusk wild
boar to the commanding Golden Tempest wind tiger, Kemono wield the
power of nature to reshape their surroundings to suit their needs.
After a dreadful fight with the winter wolf Deathstalker, players
become wielders of the ancient Karakuri technology and are
compelled to restore balance across the region. Dormant for many
years, the now restored Karakuri technology allows players to adapt
and shape their environment into creative hunting grounds ideal for
taking down the giant Kemono.
Players must learn to master WILD HEARTS’ Karakuri systems –
whether constructing a basic crate, spring and torch Karakuri,
learning Fusion Karakuri to counter Kemono attacks, or drawing
power from the land to construct massive traversal Dragon Karakuri.
How players use each type of Karakuri to enhance their combat
abilities will be entirely up to them.
In WILD HEARTS, players journey through Azuma as a lone wolf or
pack-hunt with up to two friends thanks to the game’s co-op and
crossplay features across all platforms. Players can expand their
battle plans and go on special missions while pack hunting, join
other hunters in the world, or take on Kemono on their own.
The hunt isn’t over at launch! WILD HEARTS players can look
forward to a series of post-launch content updates available at no
additional cost starting next month. The March update will
introduce the Deeply Volatile Hellfire Laharback and a new
Grimstalker wolf Kemono subspecies - kin to the fearsome
Deathstalker - in addition to new quests, new armor and weapon
variants, new talismans, new emotes, chat stamps and more. Stay
tuned for more details on future WILD HEARTS content.
WILD HEARTS standard edition is available now in retail and
digital storefronts for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via
the EA App, Steam and Epic Game Store for $69.99 USD. The game will
be accessible to players with voice overs in English, Japanese,
French, Italian, German and Spanish.
EA Play members* can join the hunt in WILD HEARTS for up to
10-hours, battling mighty Kemono as they play up to the gates of
Minato, while EA Play Pro members now have unlimited access to the
Karakuri Deluxe Edition**, which features two cosmetic armor sets
(Karakuri Samurai & Karakuri Ninja), a decorative Tsukumo
Lantern, a variety of chart stamps, and three different emotes -
including the Fighting Spirit, Grovel and Conch.
