Dynasty Warriors: Origins is an upcoming video game in the Dynasty Warriors series developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo. It is expected to be released on January 17, 2025.

Plot

Like other entries in the Dynasty Warriors series, Dynasty Warriors: Origins is based on the Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. According to Director Tomohiko Sho, however, Origins differs from previous titles in that it only covers the first half of the novel while being more thorough in telling the story. According to Sho, this departure is responsible for the new naming scheme.

Gameplay

Gameplay consists of both hack-and slash and strategic elements; the player controls a main character but can also issue commands to troops on the battlefield. Aside from the main character, players can select another general as a teammate. Multiple weapons and other character customizations are available.

Development

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the first addition to the series in 7 years. It was developed to take advantage of PlayStation 5 hardware. Omega Force set a goal of displaying 10,000 soldiers on the screen. According to an interview with Push Square, Sho reportedly practiced martial arts as part of development for the game.
