Dynasty Warriors: Origins Game Mechanics
In this game, players will be facing off against multiple enemies and will experience the history of the Three Kingdoms. Enemy soldiers attack in cooperation with each other, and they are very formidable, so you will need to not only rely on your strength but also advance with your allies to clear a path. Once you have pushed forward the front line and are ready, you can charge into the enemy army with your allies, and experience an unprecedented large-scale battlefield where a total of several thousand soldiers clash.
The vast world of the Three Kingdoms is depicted on a world map and players can choose which battlefield to join. Not only that, players can freely interact with heroes and roam freely.
As the main protagonist, you will be thrown into the heat of battle alongside the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. Not only are you adept with using swords, but countless weapons are ready for you to try and sweep away swarms of enemies. Plus, you can temporarily control the warlords marching alongside Guan Yu and the others. These unrivaled warlords, worthy of being called one of a thousand warriors, will become the protagonist’s strong allies with their overwhelming strength.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is set to be released next year, 2025, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam). More info about the game will be announced soon.
