Koei Tecmo will soon share its latest round of quarterly earnings, but the company is getting out ahead of it by raising its financial forecast. It’s a sign that Koei Tecmo is highly confident in its performance last quarter, and comes on the heels of Pokemon Pokopia launching for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Koei Tecmo published a press release to announce the move. The video game publisher has raised its net income per share forecast from 85.49 Yen to 127.68 Yen. Ordinary profit expectations have been raised from 37,000 (Yen, in millions) to 55,500.

While it’s not explicitly stated in the announcement, this increase in forecast comes just after Pokemon Pokopia released for the Nintendo Switch 2 in March. Co-developed by Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force, Pokemon Pokopia sold over 2.2 million units in its first two days. Koei Tecmo also published Nioh 3 in early February.

Koei Tecmo says the revision is “due to the new titles launched in the fourth quarter and other titles exceeding initial plans.” We’ll get a better idea about how the company’s games performed when the company publishes its next round of earnings.
