Recently, the producer of "Dynasty Warriors: Origins" Zhuang Zhiyan was interviewed by the Japanese media Famitsu, talking about the game design concept and other contents. The game will be launched on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X|S platforms in 2025.

The main contents are summarized as follows:

·Reason for game project establishment: The Dynasty Warriors series has many fans, but some people have gradually moved away from the game. Therefore, in order to make the series popular again worldwide and to expand the audience, the new game returned to the "origin" of the series, carefully thought about the charm of Dynasty Warriors, and launched the project. The new game aims to achieve evolution in gameplay, allowing players to experience the unique fun of modern warriors;

The game will delve into the historical stories of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, focusing on providing the most exciting and intense experience while reflecting the charm of many historical characters;

"Dynasty Warriors: Origins" is positioned as an orthodox sequel, not a spin-off. As for the game not being named after the serial number, it is because this new game is very different from the recent works in the series. However, what will happen to "Dynasty Warriors 9" in the future, the producers have not yet considered this step;


The word "Origin" in the title of "Dynasty Warriors: Origins" means that the theme of the new game is to return to the origin. It not only provides more soldiers, battlefield realism and the pleasure of mowing the grass, but also focuses on the strategy of battle;

When the project was launched, Zhuang Zhiyan asked the team to increase the number of soldiers in this game, and the goal of "overwhelming soldiers" has been achieved. Thanks to the significant progress in hardware specifications and technology, a rough calculation shows that the number of soldiers on the same screen in this game is 10 times more than that in "Dynasty Warriors 8", which means that the original display of 100 soldiers is now displayed as 1,000 soldiers, so there are more opportunities to kill thousands of people;

The original characters have lost their memory and do not remember anything in this world. This perspective makes it easier for players who are not familiar with history to experience the history of the Three Kingdoms and enjoy the charm of the stories and heroes.

The team debated for a long time whether the protagonist's appearance should be fixed, that is, the issue of character creation. But in the end, it was decided that a protagonist with a solid image was needed as the core of the story;


The appearance of some characters in the game will change according to their age and status. They will not use the same image, which would be too inconsistent. For example, Guan Yu's beard was not very long in the sixth year of Guanghe.

·As the game progresses, the protagonist can unlock a variety of weapons; the game retains the horse system; the game has a morale mechanism that affects attack power and attack frequency.
