New gameplay footage revealed for DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS at TGS2024
During the Tokyo Game Show 2024, KOEI TECMO and developer Omega Force unveiled new combat details for their upcoming action game, DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS. Journeying through the Three Kingdoms, players will fight alongside companions and wage fierce battles against some of ancient China’s most formidable foes. Scheduled for release on 17th January 2025 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam®, DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS promises to deliver the most intense combat of any game in franchise history.
From the “Yellow Turban Rebellion” to the climax of the “Battle of Chibi”, the story of DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS will transport players to the heart of ancient China in turmoil. Through the eyes of a nameless hero, players will have to make choices to restore peace and shape history to their own experience.

Through the eyes of a nameless hero, players will have to make choices to restore peace and shape history to their own experience.
Travelling across the world map as they embark on their epic journey, players can suppress rebellions or choose to rescue government forces during “Missions”, overcome “Skirmishes”, and visit various locations where they will be able to buy weapons. Throughout their quest, players will also encounter a variety of characters familiar to the DYNASTY WARRIORS franchise, such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Depending on the bond forged, these characters can become travelling companions or an enemy.
Battles in DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS will require players to be more strategic than ever before. A variety of “Tactics” can be used to command their allies and coordinate forces. By gathering a large number of soldiers under their command, fans will also be able to form a “Large Force” which they can lead by deploying “Grand Tactics” manoeuvres. This will allow players to radically change the course of a battle. However, users will need to keep an eye on their opponents, who will also be able to form a ”Large Force” and will try to deploy their own “Grand Tactics” to win.
In 1 vs. 1,000 combat, players will have to master and alternate between swift and powerful attacks that can break an opponent’s guard. Repeated attacks will increase the protagonist’s “Bravery”, enabling them to use powerful and unique attacks called “Arts”. These “Arts” will be unique to each weapon, so it will be crucial for players to master the various arsenal at their disposal, allowing the protagonist to gain “Rank” and thus improve their skills.
Not only will players have to master the protagonist’s various attacks if they want to emerge victorious on the battlefield, but they will also have to strengthen their defence. By blocking enemy attacks at the right moment, they can unleash a powerful riposte, “Parry”, which creates a breach in the enemy’s defence. Some attacks cannot be blocked, so players will have to dodge them before counterattacking.
Finally, players will sometimes encounter powerful officers protected by an energy called “Fortitude”. Players will have to work on reducing this “Resolution” to weaken them before they can launch a powerful “Assault” attack which can sometimes be the decisive coup de grâce.
