About Dynasty Warriors Origins

Origins will still contain the core essence of the Dynasty Warriors franchise despite shifted directions (Image via Koei Tecmo)

Origins adapts the Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, for its campaign. It focuses on an amnesiac protagonist striving to eliminate the corruption and injustice perpetrated by government officials. The story is set a year before the events of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Origins aims to bring the '1 vs. 1000' power fantasy to life in its most detailed form yet, with an added emphasis on narrative and combat depth. While the game will not feature the extensive roster of playable characters typical of the series, the increased combat depth resulting from this decision benefits the title's new direction.
