Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a 2025 hack and slash game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo. The tenth installment in the Dynasty Warriors series, it was released for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S on January 17, 2025. Upon release, it received generally positive reviews from critics and sold 1 million units by February.

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 Producer 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, which in turn is responsible for the new naming scheme.

Unlike other entries, the game entirely focuses on an alternate history narrative in which the protagonist Ziluan, an amnesiac wanderer who only knows he must find a hero who will unite China, plays a decisive role throughout the events of the novel, such as personally defeating the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao, killing several of the Ten Eunuchs, and assisting Wang Yun in the assassination plot against Dong Zhuo. Involved in this story is a youthful healer named Yuanhua who uses incense to help Ziluan recover his memories and three enigmatic figures from his past who respectively assist, advise, and oppose his journey.

The game also features a branching storyline in which the player identifies Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Jian (later Sun Ce and Sun Quan) as the hero Ziluan is seeking, with the choice determining the faction Ziluan joins, battles which may be played, and characters Ziluan may form bonds with and have assist him in battle. Each branch is further split into two endings, one which loosely adheres to the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms plot up to the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the other requiring the player complete difficult additional objectives to change the outcome of a battle or avert the death of a historical figure which yields a more favorable position for the player's chosen faction into the following era.

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.
