BURLINGAME, Calif. – July 25, 2024 – Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Omega Force revealed the first storyline details of their upcoming 1 vs. 1,000 action game, DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS, available in 2025 for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam®. Promising to deliver the most intense action of any Warriors title to date, DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS introduces fans to a heroic martial artist destined to overcome the immense odds as he fights his way through waves of enemies across the battlefields of the ancient Three Kingdoms.
DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS introduces a new, deeper interpretation of the traditional Three Kingdoms storyline, which depicts ancient Chinese history. The story begins the year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the dawn of an era of great upheaval, when the protagonist -- a martial artist with amnesia -- visits a village suffering from famine. Here, he meets Zhang Jiao, a long-haired man who offers a helping hand to people, and Guan Yu, a bearded warrior who denounces the injustice of government officials, and together they fight against the forces of corrupt officials.
The immersive story is experienced through the amnesiac protagonist, weaving through history as a single hero. Throughout the game, episodes of the Three Kingdoms are described in greater clarity and detail, delivering a clear and engaging experience not only for fans of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and DYNASTY WARRIORS franchises, but for those who have not experienced them before.
DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS delivers an overwhelming sense of realism on every battlefield, with the largest number of soldiers in the series’ history, intermingled and fighting with their own individual wills. Enemy soldiers attacking in cooperation are extremely formidable, and you must not only fight with your own skills, but also charge forward with your allies to clear the way. Once you push up the battleline and are prepared to fight, you and your allies can charge into the massive armies of enemies, experiencing a sense of realism of the battlefield in an unprecedented scale where thousands of soldiers collide!
The protagonist of this title throws himself into the battlefield alongside the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, wiping out swarms of enemies using swords, fists, and various other weapons. By meeting certain conditions, players can temporarily control Guan Yu and other officers marching forth by your side. Officers with strength worthy of “exhilarating 1 vs. 1,000 action” will become the protagonist’s most reliable allies.
Away from combat, DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS displays the vast world of the Three Kingdoms on a continental map, enabling players to choose which battlefield to participate in. Also, players can interact with heroes and walk around freely on their way to the next major battlefield.
To help introduce fans to the new game, Akihiro Suzuki, the general producer of DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS, alongside producer Tomohiko Sho, recently released a new video, outlining their expectations for their upcoming epic tale of the Three Kingdoms. Watch here to learn their thoughts on the upcoming game.
