KOEI TECMO Europe and Omega Force have been officially launched Dynasty Warriors: Originsa new installment of the long-running franchise. Available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the game presents fans with the most ambitious combat and largest battlefields in Dynasty Warriors history. Players are invited to experience the chaos and drama of the Three Kingdoms era of ancient China through a new narrative and immersive mechanics.
A new version of the saga of the Three Kingdoms
Dynasty Warriors: Origins reimagines the storied history of the Three Kingdoms, spanning from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the pivotal Battle of Chibi. Players take on the role of an unnamed martial artist navigating this tumultuous period and making decisions that influence the course of the story.
Through expansive world maps, players can engage in missions such as suppressing rebellions, assisting government forces, and building alliances. Iconic figures like Cao Cao and Liu Bei return, potentially becoming allies or enemies depending on the bonds forged during the game.
Innovative combat mechanics
The game amplifies its signature 1v1000 combat with greater depth. Players alternate between fast and powerful attacks, breaking through enemy defenses while building their “Bravery” meter to unleash special moves called “Arts.” Each weapon in the game has unique arts, requiring players to strategize and master various arsenals.
Defensive maneuvers also play a key role, as timed stops open up opportunities for counterattacks. Players must adapt to unblockable enemy moves by dodging and counterattacking to maintain their advantage.
Tomohiko Sho, producer of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, commented: “This is the most intense and exciting game in the history of the Dynasty Warriors franchise. The feeling of realism on the battlefield has never been greater.”
