Dynasty Warriors: Origins Showcases Massive Battles, World Map, and More in New Gameplay

Omega Force debuted some new gameplay for Dynasty Warriors: Origins during ChinaJoy 2024, alongside fresh details about the story and mechanics. Check out the footage from the stage event below (courtesy of Gematsu).

Set before the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Kingdoms era, the story centers on an amnesiac martial artist (which allows for a narrative with “greater clarity and details”). Upon arriving at a village, he teams with Zhang Jiao and Guan Yu to battle the corrupt government. As for combat, players must work alongside allies to take down enemy armies, resulting in massive battle sequences with some of the “largest armies ever seen.”

Swords, fists, and other weapons are available to battle enemies. However, if you fulfill specific conditions, it’s possible to control allied officers like Guan Yu and utilize their abilities. Origins also has a world map with various battlefields to select, though you can also interact with allies on the side.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is out next year for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
