Hankyu Hanshin Holdings will develop "Nobunaga Travelogue Driven by Nobunaga's Ambition" (working title), a VR work themed on Oda Nobunaga, with Koei Tecmo Games. A proof-of-concept test runs in early October 2026 at Kansai Television Broadcasting's Nandemo Arena in Kita-ku, Osaka, closed to the general public. A public release is planned for fiscal 2027 in the Tokyo metropolitan area. MyDearest handles production, ABAL technical cooperation, Kansai Television Broadcasting production cooperation.
The project carries the concept of walking the Sengoku period on your own feet, and it is meant to draw on visuals and music from the Nobunaga's Ambition series. Hankyu Hanshin frames the work as something for history fans as well as players of the games.
The Osaka test is closed to the general public. Hankyu Hanshin says it will judge a full-scale move into the experience-based content field during fiscal 2027 from the test results and other factors. The planned public release is set for fiscal 2027 in the Tokyo metropolitan area, with pricing and ticket purchase methods to be announced once decided.
