Making and release

Tecmo Koei Games showcased the PlayStation Vita version at E3 2013.[2] The game was released in North America on February 11, 2014 exclusively on PlayStation Vita.[2] An enhanced version titled Toukiden: Kiwami was released on August 28, 2014 in Japan for PS Vita and PSP.[3] A PlayStation 4 version was announced for the west on January 15, 2015, with cross-save and cross-play support.[4]

At Sony's TGS 2012 keynote, Toukiden was first shown to the public.[5] Koei and Sony Computer Entertainment Japan worked together on the game's development, with Team Ninja contributing to the project as well.[5] According to Tecmo Koei, the choice to develop Toukiden for PS Vita and PSP came about because Capcom had moved Monster Hunter games to the Nintendo 3DS, and they believed many Sony console owners wanted a hunting game.[6] On September 19, 2013, a Chinese-language edition was made available across Asia.[7]

What the cited sources add

A Yahoo! News report stated that Toukiden sales for the PS Vita hit 127,000 in its first week.[8] The same report noted that the Toukiden debut had an immediate and substantial impact on Vita sales.[8] A PlayStation.Blog post announced that Toukiden: Kiwami features both the original story and a brand new story of roughly the same size.[9] The blog post also stated that NPC AI has been improved for Toukiden: Kiwami.[9]

The blog post confirmed that save data from Toukiden: The Age of Demons can be carried across to Toukiden: Kiwami.[9]
