KOEI Reveals Next-Generation Video Game Tech Demo

For Immediate Release:

TOKYO, JAPAN -- July 21, 2005 -- Sony Computer Entertainment held the "PlayStation Meeting 2005" at the Tokyo Prince Hotel. At this event, two game companies were selected to give presentations about the next-generation PlayStation^®3 game system. One of those companies was KOEI, and KOEI's Founder and Chairman, Ms. Keiko Erikawa gave a rousing speech for the packed meeting hall.

Ms. Erikawa presented an all-new, real-time demo using the PlayStation 3. This demo took full advantage of the PS3 hardware, and wowed the crowd with its smooth animation and life-like detail.

While KOEI presented their PlayStation 3 title "NI-OH" at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, the demo shown at the PlayStation Meeting was for a completely new title. Currently, Koei is making progress on multiple PS3 titles.
