Dynasty Warriors Origins Could Be the Comeback Fans Have Been Waiting For on PS5 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Dynasty Warriors is making a rather grand-looking return in 2025 on PS5. It's fair to say that the Koei Tecmo and Omega Force series fell off a cliff with Dynasty Warriors 9 — a deeply flawed release — but this so-called Dynasty Warriors Origins looks like a significant step forward, especially in the graphics department.

What's more, this doesn't seem to be your typical Dynasty Warriors experience. It looks like you'll be playing as one lead character who can wield a bunch of different weapons, possibly journeying through the Three Kingdoms storyline as an unnamed protagonist.

What do you make of Dynasty Warriors Origins? Lead your army to glory in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

The DW games used a horrendous engine that had crap fps all over them. This seems that they finally got a better one.

Hopefully it’s good, I got a little burnt out on last few titles.

I noticed it only said ps5… exclusive?

Koei Tecmo is finally making a Next Gen Warriors game and I hope they do the same for Samurai Warriors after this. They decided to to a remake of the SW series a few years ago so I assume that this game is a complete remake of the Dynasty Warrior franchise.

I do wonder if it's just one character you play as or if you join a specific Kingdom and do missions for the Hero's/Villains of the era. As a huge Warriors fan I'm interested to see what this game actually is.

Never played a musou game before but this looks like a great entry point for me to jump in.

@3Stock_Samwise I'd recommend jumping in with one of the Warriors Orochi games since you get Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors characters in one game. Warriors Orochi 4 would be a good start.
