Koei Tecmo Games released the archive video of the July 25 talk event "Can Games Become Art?" on YouTube. The video features University of Tokyo professor Hiroshi Yoshida, series IP producer Kenichi Ogasawara, and curator Aya Takezeki discussing the relationship between games and art, the history of the Nobunaga's Ambition series, and development of the upcoming title.
The archive of the talk event held at the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts is now on YouTube. The panel framed games not as mere entertainment or commercial products but as interactive art that takes shape through player interaction.
Speakers covered the evaluation axis of "action" that the Museum of Modern Art in New York applied when it collected digital games, and why Nobunaga's Ambition sits at the center of the exhibition. They also traced the series' evolution over more than 40 years, from the first game's inclusion of domain management alongside combat.
The discussion touched on the upcoming Nobunaga's Ambition: Hisyo, due in 2026, including its story mode, town-building mechanics, and design aimed at new players. The exhibition runs through September 6.
