Dynasty Warriors: Origins ups the ante with significantly more challenging enemies. Producer Tomohiko Sho's directive to the development team was simple yet impactful: "Go and kill the player." This approach, detailed in a PlayStation.Blog interview, aimed for increased realism, reflecting the deadly struggles faced by both player and enemy alike on the battlefield.
While boosting enemy strength, Sho ensured the game remained engaging rather than frustrating. The increased difficulty presents satisfying challenges, rewarding players with a strong sense of accomplishment. He acknowledged the difficulty in balancing the series' signature "musou" exhilaration (defeating hordes of enemies) with the added realism of a brutal war setting.
A notable departure from tradition is the absence of a sequential number in the title. Instead of Dynasty Warriors 10, the game is titled Dynasty Warriors: Origins, marking the first unnumbered entry in the franchise. This reflects the game's focus on the first half of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, culminating in the pivotal Battle of Chibi (Red Cliffs), as confirmed by Sho in a Tokyo Game Show 2024 interview with TheGamer. He emphasized the desire for a thorough and intense portrayal of this crucial historical period.
Arriving seven years after the previous main installment, Dynasty Warriors: Origins introduces an original protagonist, the Nameless Hero, navigating the power struggles of Han Dynasty China. Based on the historical fiction Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the game offers a fresh perspective on a familiar setting.
Released January 17th, Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. For a comprehensive review, check out Game8's assessment.
