First Story Details Revealed for Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Everyone plays the Dynasty Warriors series for its intense cinematic quality and narrative chops, right? … Right? Of course we do, so it’s a good thing Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have delivered unto us our first insights into Dynasty Warriors: Origins’ narrative hooks. Naturally, there’ll be the Yellow Turban Rebellion and familiar figures in the shape of Guan Yu and the fellow officers we’ve come to expect.
This time around however, we can look forward to a deeper interpretation of the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Joining forces with Zhang Jiao and Guan Yu, our amnesia afflicted protagonist will take to the field in 1 vs 1000 action during a time of upheaval and injustice. Unlike previous entries, it will be through our hero’s eyes that the story unfolds, instead of from the perspectives of the factions themselves.
Fear not however, as further gameplay details reveal we won’t be alone in battling the massive forces of our opponents:
DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS delivers an overwhelming sense of realism on every battlefield, with the largest number of soldiers in the series’ history to date. Enemy soldiers attack in cooperation and are extremely formidable. While using your own skills to fight, you must also charge forward with your allies to clear the way. Once you storm the field and prepare to fight, you and your allies will collide with thousands of enemy soldiers of opposing armies, allowing you to experience a sense of realism and unprecedented scale of the battlefield. In addition, when meeting certain conditions, you can temporarily control Guan Yu and other officers marching forth by your side.
DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS displays the vast world of the Three Kingdoms on a continental map, enabling players to walk around freely, interact with heroes, and choose which battlefield to explore next.

If you’re hankering to delve deeper into the details, or if you’re a newcomer to the franchise wanting to find out more, general producer of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, Akihiro Suzuki, has you covered:
We may have cut through swathes of armies during the Three Kingdoms period before, but Dynasty Warriors: Origins is hoping to surprise and reinvigorate excitement in the conflict once again. It will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam in 2025. Time enough to sharpen your blade, ready for the throngs of grunts and officers alike.
