The combat system has been refined to deliver what the developer describes as the most exhilarating action in the history of the series.

The Three Kingdoms story through the eyes of an unnamed hero

In a major departure from previous entries, Dynasty Warriors: Origins explores the legendary Three Kingdoms era through the perspective of a completely original protagonist. Playing as an “unnamed hero,” players will journey across the vast Chinese mainland, where the beliefs and ambitions of famous warriors collide.

This new narrative approach creates a deeper personal connection to the grand and captivating world of ancient China. Players witness the rise and fall of historical figures from the viewpoint of an outsider, while carving out their own legacy along the way.

The game is now available on the Nintendo online store. Alongside the standard edition, the DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS Digital Deluxe Edition is also on sale, offering premium bonus content for dedicated fans. Buyers are advised to carefully review their selection before completing the purchase to ensure they receive the desired edition.

With its blend of strategic depth and massive warfare, Dynasty Warriors: Origins sets a new benchmark for action games on the Switch 2, promising hours of engaging entertainment for both longtime veterans and newcomers alike.
