A new champion is set to rise in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, the latest installment in KOEI TECMO’s iconic action franchise. Developed by Omega Force, Dynasty Warriors: Origins introduces a fresh take on the series’ legendary 1 vs. 1,000 gameplay, featuring a mysterious martial artist as the central character. Fans of the Dynasty Warriors series can look forward to its global release on January 17, 2025, across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®, with promises of delivering the most intense combat seen in the franchise’s history.
As showcased in the game’s latest trailer, Dynasty Warriors: Origins kicks off during a time of great upheaval in the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China. Players take on the role of a nameless hero—a wandering martial artist suffering from amnesia—who becomes embroiled in the region’s power struggles. This unique protagonist allows players to experience the conflict firsthand, making choices that influence the course of history while uncovering the character’s own hidden past, a mystery that will shape the fate of the Three Kingdoms.
In true Dynasty Warriors fashion, the game features massive battles, where players can take on hordes of enemies either alone or alongside allied officers and troops. The familiar 1 vs. 1,000 combat returns, allowing players to adopt different strategies—whether charging headfirst into enemy ranks or commanding units to aid in overwhelming the opposition. The game mixes up its pacing by giving players a chance to issue commands or rely on the power of Musou officers, adding variety to the all-out action.
Players will also face iconic and powerful officers, such as the legendary Lu Bu, whose near-superhuman abilities make for fierce and thrilling battles. These encounters promise to push players to their limits, ensuring that each clash is as intense as it is rewarding. Allies also play a key role in combat, as Companion officers can be temporarily controlled under special conditions, unleashing their own devastating abilities to help turn the tide of battle.
With its engaging new protagonist, dynamic combat system, and iconic characters from the Dynasty Warriors universe, Dynasty Warriors: Origins is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike. Prepare for the epic clash when it launches in early 2025.
