Dynasty Warriors Origins: Is the Deluxe Edition worth buying?

The highly anticipated hack-and-slash title Dynasty Warriors Origins will be released all around the globe on January 16, 2025. The game will be available to play on all next-generation video game consoles including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in two different editions: Standard and Deluxe editions. While the Standard Edition is priced at $69.99, the Digital Deluxe edition of the game will cost you $89.99. But is it really worth buying?

Well, it depends from player to player. While we can surely expect to witness stunning visuals and a pretty solid combat system, spending $89.99 for someone who is new to the franchise, or to the hack-and-slash genre might be a little too much. However, if you are a hardcore fan of the franchise, the Digital Deluxe editions will totally be worth it.
