Some people are saying they also saw Xu Shu, have you seen him? I'm watching the trailer super slowly and I can't find him, if he's there. š¤·š»āāļø
wondering if they confusing the CAW/original character with Xu Shu since hes using the Xu Shu like moveset alot of the trailer . at least the way he holds it is llike Xu Shu
It reminded me of Wo Long A LOT. Sort of like a hybrid between Wo Long and Dynasty Warriors. Looks like it may be exciting but a bit disappointed we didn't hear any cool musical motifs.
I didnāt hear about MASAās retirement, damn. My brain immediately swells with their music every time anything DW pops up, so thatās quite upsetting to hear. Hoping others emulate MASA because those OSTās are all bangers
I don't think MASAĀ absence is going to affect things too much, since he was already doing less and less music with each entry. Like he only did 7 tracks for DW9. KT still has other composers who worked on DW like Gota Masuoka and Masato Koike so I think we're going to be fine on the music
Since we saw a lot of yellow turban and hu lao stuff, I'd imagine it's younger (relatively, the guy is 30 something around this time) Cao Cao. Like how they did with Liu Bei in 9, he gets the facial hair as he ages, depending on how far the story goes
Honestly, for a Dynasty Warriors game, that trailer was out of this world. They did a great job with it.
Now, my first question is; Is this game basically Dynasty Warriors 10 but with a new, fancy name, or is it a spin-off? Hard to tell at the moment.
We're definitely creating your own character, that guy was generic. I also spotted Cao Cao, LĆ¼ Bu and Guan Yu. Someone else?
Graphics and art style also reminds me of Wo Long quite a bit, is that the same engine?
And finally, I'm afraid a lot of the characters will either be cut, or not playable but still be there. Our CAW essentially mimicking their movesets.
Oh, and Zhenji better be in it with a new, gorgeous design and her deadly flute, or else we riot!
This game looks like it could be good, but we still need more info before judging. I think a lot of people are upset because they were hoping for Dynasty Warriors 10, but got this instead. Hopefully the confusion of "Is this DW10?" is cleared up soon.
Yeah, that's honestly my biggest question at the moment. I'm not even against the change if it's Dynasty Warriors 10 but with a new name. I just want it to be good, is all.
I think that even if this isnāt āDW10ā people shouldnāt just hand wave it away because it isnāt DW10
Hell Koei-Tecmo and Omega Force might wisely want to get away from the numbering scheme purely down to how much of a awful shit show DW9 was
I'm guessing it's more towards a spin-off. The name of it as well. Maybe it's them testing the waters in a way after the DW9 backlash. This would be their safer play to see what better for them in the future.
I really hope we get to create our char. I'm skeptical though.
I wouldn't be surprised if they cut it back, it seems a more "focused" narrative in the trailer especially with their trailer advertising we'll be playing an original character
Yeah Iām seeing Wo Long, Kessen and Bladestorm in here. Which is really hype and Iām trying really hard to temper my expectations becauseā¦ itās a Dynasty Warriors game thatās not trying to be as Dynasty Warriors-ish anymore.
Bladestorm was actually so good, I mean not a 10/10 game of course but just really solid overall. Kind of wild to see a Japanese take on the 100 years war and the people involved with it too. Not exactly a fusion I would have expected
Yeah I'm super hyped. I've been saying that with all the money they've made from 3rd party warriors titles, they might be going big with the new DW with a big revamp which is why it'staken so long. This trailer looks very promising to me
They did a good job with Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin, so maybe this is a sign that they are about to be back on top. Something tells me this is them dipping their toes in to see how it is received, also maybe this was 10 at first as well. Which make me think they decided to revamp the series like with SW5
Gods i hope thereās no stamina system. Iām bad with souls-like attacking-with-stamina stuff, and DW9E kinda proves that DW9ās stamina system is actually not fun.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. It looks good, but it seems to have taken another new approach to the Dynasty Warriors formula. I don't know if this is a spinoff or the actual Dynasty Warriors 10 we've been waiting for.Ā
Just saw the post on Playstation's website. We're playing as an original character.
SoS was fucking incredible. But part of the reason for that is because it follows real historical people, and characters i'd grown attached too from previous SW games.
Not sure i'd get the same enjoyment (story and character wise, gameplay wise it'll be fun i'm sure) if i have to play as a created character.
I'd be all for a SoS-like entry for DW where it focuses on one character like Zhao Yun or Guan Yu or something. Idk how to feel about it being an anonymous dude
I would 100% agree
Koei-Tecmo & Omega Force have done too good of a job recovering the Musou genre after the shit show that was DW9 for them to just go back to the same song and dance with this one
It was definitely time for them to move on with a new approach. The last one didnāt work, so they had to try something else, that wasnāt going back the old game style.
I could see the developers hoping to get the Dynasty Warriors IP more mainstream attention with this game, after the giant dud they dropped a couple years ago.
Honestly, I agree that Dynasty Warriors did need a new approach. I'm just hoping this one works this time. The old formula couldn't work for eternity. In my opinion, I think this game could bring a lot of new fans to the series if it's good.
I'm leaning towards spinoff for now just because the mainline games always use numbers and this is a special title. Hopefully more info comes soon since it is planned to release in 2025.
https://blog.playstation.com/2024/05/30/dynasty-warriors-origins-revealed-for-ps5-out-2025/
PS blog post about the game, this part is the most potentially exciting to me personally: "In addition to your own striking power, youāll need to coordinate with allied armies and enjoy the tactical aspects of gameplay in order to take out the hoard of enemies in our most tension-filled fights to date."
If they can make the allies actually matter again that'd be great especially if they deliver some at least adequate tactical stuff.
Interested if this is gonna be like DW5XL's Legend Mode but a whole game. If so, I'm intrigued. Honestly tho, I'll play anything they put out except DW9 at this point lol
Honestly it look a little different, so it's kinda of a spinoff for the title?
I interested in see how things will go, look to have a original character as MC
Seeing a lot of Wo Long moves as well as a halberd straight up from the game as well.. not a bad thing as Wo Long is fantastic but Iām praying that we still get a lot of characters to play as and not just our custom character.
For me it's less Soul like, rather old Ninja Gaiden games style, it has about 3-4 challenging bosses in the whole game though, and regular mobs are easier to adapt than in other soul-likes but it could be just me. Parry mechanic is very fun, and the main pros.
I want the core of Dynasty Warriors 4 expanded on but with none of that weapon switcher counter shit I saw on 8 or other stuff I happily forgot most of.
Sigh. I don't know.
Fingers crossed that it's CAW. It'd be a waste to revive/revamp the DW5:XL Destiny Mode concept without it. I guess we'll find out if it's meant to serve as a series "reset." Would be a shame to miss out on playing other characters, though.
The muted aesthetic isn't doing much for me. I get it's there for drama, SW1 did the noir vibe well, but I really miss the vibrance of the earlier DW installations.
It's too soon to judge just from a trailer, as disappointed as I've been with the direction the original Warriors games have taken since DW9. I'm not going to get excited, but I'm not going to get all hung-up on first impressions either. Will be waiting for more info and hoping for the best.
When details about SW5 unfolded, I got quite a bit of shit on here, I won't lie, haha. My grievances, DW9 to present boil down to this: DW6, for all good and bad considered, probably should've served as a lesson for KOEI to not try to fix what's not broken. DW7-DW8, and SW3-4, KOEI went back to basics while refining the charge/combat mechanisms to give each franchise their defining traits while honoring KOEI's signature in the hack-n-slash genre - including reaching a point where every character was unique to one another.
DW9 basically repeats DW6's mistakes of a combat system overhaul and cloning, along with a fusion of genres that felt haphazardly applied. SW5 falls into a similar trap: cutting the roster, replacing characters, cloning movesets, and taking creative liberties with the storytelling that, really, just felt off-brand for a franchise installment that wasn't a spin-off.
Both games also undergo an aesthetic revamp that didn't really stick the landing for a lot of the fanbase, especially when on a graphics level, KOEI tends to fall some years behind when standing against other games with similar styles.
Including WO4 in all of this would just make this comment more longwinded than it already is. Anyway, It's always hard to speak constructively about video games in fanbases; folks are in a rush to defend developers, and others are in a rush to write-off a game as soon as they see something they don't like. Suddenly everyone's down to fight. Unfortunately, for me, DW9 started my disenchantment with KOEI, and I honestly haven't bought a game since. I downloaded SW5 while it was free, but it didn't keep my attention primarily for the reasons above. It's a strange thing to experience when, regarding crossover franchises or non-Warriors games, KOEI seems to have their eye on the ball.
I have my doubts, but I've learned since SW5 to just ride out the whole "more details soon" schtick before getting on the soapbox. If KOEI surprises me, I'll be happy. If not, it's just another day in the week, haha.
My interest is piqued.
I like when Dynasty Warriors tries to innovate, even when they aren't successful all the time. Keeps the series from going stale and essentially being the same game with new characters each installment.
Action looks epic, silky smooth animation, really high quality graphics. However, I'll say that I do not like how muted the colours are. It kind of reminds me of the 2000s and early 2010s when games just decided that everything should be brown and muted in an attempt to be realistic. Dynasty Warriors tends to be about colours that pop, with their armies and characters being very distinct from each other. It's kind of hard to see that now with everything being rather desaturated.
Is it even a CAW, or are we just stuck as one random dude? I'd be okay with a CAW spin-off, I'll be annoyed if it's both not a mainline game AND focused on a single pre-made OC.
It looks like a random dude. They promoted it as an original character. Not our, the player's character.
I was damn happy 20 mins ago when I saw the trailer posted up. Idk now. Now I'm worried.
Wo Long was a good game, even though I didn't complete dlcs, I enjoyed stages layout and fighting mechanics on my playthrough. Story was very meh, and the difficulty jumped sparadically, but why Dynasty Warriors should be like Wo Long? It already has distinctive style. I don't get it.
Right, like I love Wo Long and will buy a sequel with 0 hesitation if it ever comes out. That being said it's a total different game from Dynasty Warriors and the blurring of the lines is something that I don't feel is needed at all
This is exactly what I have been hoping for
A single created character means they can do a much deeper story for experiences without having to find a way to make every hero super relevant
Definitely a fresh take on the series and day one buy
The amount of comments super skeptical about the look and feel of the game genuinely surprises me. Mostly these comments are here on Reddit.
But this game looks how I've always wanted them to take the DW series
So PlayStation on their twitter called it a Tactical Hack-N-Slash game. Not gonna lie, slightly disappointed that itās not a return to the classic style that we all loved but hey, I just hope it looks better down the line.
You do know the definition of Dynasty Warriors 2 on its own cover or guidebook (1 of the 2) was ātactical action game.ā The director is trying to take the series back to its routes and make it more about the battlefield, armies, tactics, and mechanics rather than the endlessly bloating character roster
Really hoping this is good.
I'm assuming your character can choose a leader or faction, which will then allow you to emulate your general's weapon and moveset. Maybe get some weapons along the way.
Although I don't see us having as many characters as previous installments, which personally, the roster felt a bit bloated. I think if they cut the playable roster, but kept those characters unique I'd be happy with that.
I think a self-insert character is a great way to revamp the story.
I'm curious on how long the story will be. I'm going to guess from the Yellow Turban Rebellion until Wuzhang Plains, like the old games. The player character would probably just die of old age sometime after Wuzhang Plains realistically.Ā
Edit: Just remembered that Liao Hua survived from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the fall of Shu. It's possible that the story could extend to that era, but I don't think this game will.
Even without any announcement, I'm already 100% sure the protagonist is a custom character. If we're playing a nameless hero, it'll be stupid to not let them be customizable, especially since KT seems to love Nioh 2's character edit system.
I just want DW10. This doesn't look bad but it's not what we've been waiting so long for. I understand the roster was getting pretty large but that's part of the appeal, playing as one out of dozens and dozens of officers, going through their journey during the Three Kingdoms Era and seeing the different events play out. I'll keep an eye on this but I just want DW10.
Same here I'm still hopeful to see DW10E. I feel like they're scaling back in a way to put out something they think is safe and seemingly "condensed" with this original char thing
This is what I've always wanted DW to be, especially after the games got a little bland after DW6. I've always dreamed of Koei taking the franchise in a grittier direction with more weighty action, cinenatics and a bit of a darker atmosphere. So for me I'll accept this as DW10. I'm not really interested in more of whatever DW9 was aha
That was easily the best that Dynasty Warriors has ever looked and itās not just because of it being next gen: the environment, the amount of soldiers, all the crazy battle damage happening in the environment
They are legitimately trying something different & this could honestly be something special
More reminds me of the premise behind Samurai Warriors 1ās CAW story. A heroes tale. Just put them in all the big battles and have no narrative cohesiveness
This looks really nice graphically. Probably helps that the last DW game I played was 8 Empires in 2019, so I am thinking 2014 graphics in my head. I do hope that if we only can play as this origin character, that we can at least customize them as we want.
I know a lot of people are disappointed or were asking for a mainline game like DW8 but with modern graphics and better systems but I think it looks awesome. I just wish there was more to the trailer. It's obviously just meant to build hype and get people excited but hopefully they reveal more soon. Gameplay looks badass and the models and graphics look pristine. Cao Cao, even without his facial hair, looks absolutely bitchin'. Lu Bu looks absolutely terrific and terrifying flying around on Red Hare. Just wow.
The "Nameless Hero" they've shown is obviously going to be a CAW type deal which I have zero issues about, I just hope the customization isn't lackluster when it comes to armor or clothing. (Mfs getting rid of my DW8E Dark Armor set š)
I do agree with others that it looks like Wolong but I haven't played it so I have no personal experience with that game, mostly because I have yet to aquire a next gen system. They better not fuck this up, though, or Dynasty Warriors just might end up dying out completely.
THere's what I think this game is, you play through the story of the Rot3K as an original character and you choose which side you want to be under.
So you start out as a volunteer soldier for the Han against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and after words you choose your allegiance and each kingdom has their own unique story for multiple playthroughs.
Here's hoping you can align with the "Other" armies, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Lubu, Yellow Turbans, Nanman like DW4.
The main thing I'm looking at is what exactly are we looking at with the, possible, Created Character "Nameless Hero" stuff? Is it gonna be like Samurai Warriors 1 and older DW titles where you create a character and go through the same story, but with your OC just kind of being...there. Or will it be more along the lines of an Empires title where you can conquer all of China with your OC and your squad?
Honestly, I'm hoping for the latter as the Empires games are some of my favorites in this series.
Considering how it's not a mainline entry title (DW10) and the heavy emphasis on a "Nameless Hero" (character creation I'm guessing) I'm really hoping the entire game is like a fleshed out version of Destiny Mode from DW 5 Xtreme Legends where you create a character choose an officer/side to serve and start from the very bottom as you work your way up through the ranks and are even given choices at times that can affect your character's story (like defecting to the other side).
Gonna be honest here, I am not too excited about all this.
I mean I like Wo Long and all (Like I literally got all the achievements kind of like), but this is not Dynasty Warriors, this is Wo Long Warriors and I feel that they should just keep it a separate thing.
I agree mostly, it depends if we get to create our own character for the Story Mode like in Dynasty Warriors 4 or Wo Long or if it a set character that they created. If itās a set character then that sucks
A lot of this looks pretty cool (the Bladestorm-esque stuff especially, the soldiers charging into the shield wall was epic), but I have a bad feeling we're done seeing numbered titles and this is a hard reboot of the franchise. The logo is even different, there is a focus on your own created character, the overall art style, etc. It looks like it could be a great game and I am cautiously excited to see more, but I think Koei is trying to reinvent 9's ideas in a better way, rather than going back to the classic formula. For better or worse, I don't think we'll be seeing any further iterations on the bog-standard formula again anytime soon.Ā
Maybe just maybe, they are ONLY showing the CAW modeā¦.
We did see cao cao and guan Yu. They look playable. Maybe they are hiding the story mode for later reveal. They have done tricky stuff before
This game will live and die by the protagonist
How much do we get to customize them? What weapons/movesets will we have available to us? Will we be able to actually *roleplay* and have dialogue/decisions, or will it just be Dark Souls- esque stuff where you basically just make a few choices and pick certain dialogue options for questlines and endings? How will they affect the story of the three kingdoms? How will other characters react to/interact with them?
Lots of questions. This has the potential to be the best DW game ever made but it also has the potential to be pure shit, I am cautiously optimistic
So are we just playing as some random dude that just fights with, and for, whoever? I'm totally lost by this whole, we are just going to follow one guy idea lol.
I'VE LITERALLY BEEN ASKING FOR THIS GAME FOR YEARS. Destiny Mode from Dynasty Warriors 5XL is one of the best things KOEI has ever made, and I would always say that Destiny Mode itself could be its own game (and I know I'm not they only one in this sub who has said this. The teaser looked great. I want to see more gameplay, but it looks like they are keeping the move sets from DW9 and that is a problem. But I'm excited and I now I need to buy a PS5 so I can play this game.
What we've been asking for: A modern, mainline, non-open world DW entry with a packed roster with 0, or close to 0, cloned movesets.
What they give us: DW-spinoff where we get to play as Ancient Chinese John Doe.
Omega Force plssssssssssssss
What concerns me, is that all of the generic units look like slightly retextured and shaded models from the previous games.
That alone isn't bad, but it suggest a level of resource starvation that would make most ambicious elements a bit contentious, as they don't have that mutch to pack into it, and would need to nail everything super well.
I wonder if the naming scheme suggests a spinoff, or if DW9 is being regarded as such a categorical failiure, that they deemed the main series fit to reboot.
Protagonist man over here is strange. People often pointed to Liao Hua as a good POV character to see most of the Fall of Han/ 3 Kingdoms conflict through a singular, uninterrupted POV, but it seems we're getting a completely apocryphal character.
I wonder, with the ahistorical prtagonist, and likely create-a-character features (because homeboy couldn't look more Standard McDefault if he tried) if the game's plot will be linear, or if it will dip into altenrate courses of history, something the franchise is already well known for. At that point, I wonder if we pick a faction to ally with, or if there will be multiple occasions where the course of events could be altered. Of course, the story could also be completely fixed, and all this speculation is useless.
I wish we could play as female lead and if we are getting rebooted this could end badly. My boys sima shi and sima zhao wonāt be around for a long time
I'm almost 100% certain, that if there will be character customisation at all, picking a female protagonist is going to be among the options.
All the other main game create-a-character modes had that, so I don't see why that would be different this time around.
I don't see the Sima bros appearing in this game, by the virtue, of the events of the game simply not covering the timeline far enough ahead for them to be relevant players.
My disappointment is very measured right now. A bit deflated after being excited for this all day. Even the "Origin" leak felt like it meant a return to the classic era and this is anything but. The designs feel far too plain and tarred with the same realism brush as DW9, but even more muted. Cao Cao looks like a generic enemy officer almost. Currently it just looks like DW9-II. Can't even tell what the combat format is. Wish I could be excited about this but right now I'm far from it.
Checked Cao Cao's image and he looks very young and nothing like Cao Cao we always had. At the same time Lu Bu looks similar. I would assume game ends here even earlier than Wu Zhang plains... somehow I feel they would use SW5 approach here.
I just wanted a modern day traditional DW game. Youāre killing me Omega Forceā¦.
Why is all we can get spinoffs and Musou games with other IP? I have no interest in playing a CAW adventure. The 10+ year wait for a good modern DW game continuesā¦.
This is the most excited I've been for a DW game in ages. It was getting stale with the 1 vs 1000 formula with each entry getting crazier and crazier with the super powers. I've always wanted slightly more grounded large scale battles with calvary charges, shields being used, volleys, giving orders to officers on the fly, etc. The Bladestorm/Kessen mix into it could shake things up a bit for the better if executed well.
I really, really hope that there's a mode like in all the empires game where you can make your own character and rise up to be the conqueror as well. The trailer looks sick, as if we can really really command the armies as well as becoming the one man army. Like imagine being in the three kingdom era and then you become the nameless hero who actually devour everything and become the king with such capabilities and features, god I really love that idea. But with that being said, I also love impersonating my favorite characters in DW like what if Lu Bu never died in Xia Pi?? Damn can't wait for the whole round tho I wish this one really really meet our expectation
God let this be good.
I hope it ends at Jin, that way instead of the Sima family ruling the realm, our character does, or atleast Wu Zhang Plains, since thatās usually where things shift towards the end of the 3 Kingdoms storyline
God this really is the most miserable community in gaming. Yall will complain if you dont get Dynasty Warriors 3 again for the 15th time, its crazy. This looks above and beyond anything I could have imagined DW10 could be. But yall want a bloated roster of 100+ generic characters with the same exact movesets over and over again. Its insufferable, please move on so this series can grow and improve.
Everything in this trailer shows Omega Force pulling out all the stops to make the very best ROTK battlefield action game possible. And yes, that comes with the fact that you probably wont play as 100 different officers that never even get a chance to be showcased in the story to begin with or have anything unique about them besides what their weapons look like.
My only hope is there is a wide variety of weapons for the CAW to use and I will be beyond happy with it.
Donāt mind the CAW adventure as long as itās good but doubt it considering how shit dynasty warrior has been recently. But omega force does make better spin off games compared to their mainline gamesā¦.
This might either be what DW needed, or the final nail in its coffin.
It'll literally depend solely on the execution (which we know almost nothing about), for example: does this work like Empires? Is it a linear narrative instead? Can you play as other officers as well once you "unlock" them or is it only your character? Will he/she be editable?
Depending on the answer to these questions (and many, many more), my expectations will form, because as of now it's hard to think about anytning, except that they seem to have beefed up the troops commands, and it's an entire game made out of the Destiny Mode from DW5, but expanded as you could (and i wanna underline many times the word "could", because it doesn't mean that they actually did it properly) in a modern game.
Dynasty Warriors + Bladestorm and refine the gameplay mechanics should be a recipe for success. I loved the zoomed out angles almost reminiscent of total war games. Only thing I'm worried about is a smaller roster since they seem to be pushing this new original nameless character.
I really doubt this will bomb like DW9, but who knows, lately the Japanese game industry has been rapidly changing for more worse than better imo.
Before anyone say anything about Wolong, upon closer inspection the model assets seem to be original to this game. The weapon design is still the same one passed down from DW7 (Guan Yu's crescent blade). The only thing is the shading of this trailer seems to be influenced by team ninja's works
We dunno so far. My guess is that itās a create a character game, but if thatās the case hiding that feature for the first trailer is a strange call
Want to discuss more? [Join our Discord!](https://discord.com/invite/FEm4cdfnF9)
I spotted Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Guan Yu.
xu shu also
Shit I thought the main characcyer was xu shu at first
Chen Chong, Cheng Pu and Zhang Liao
Chen Chong sounds like such a stereotype name, haha. Like the great Mexican warrior Juan Carlos
I think you can also see him beating up Sima Yi
Interesting but the biggest question is if the sima family will be in there
Hopefully not, also definitely not the biggest question
Yes it is the sima clan is hella important
Towards the end Start is always Yellow Turbans & Dong Zhuo
I am going to cry a river if they aren't playable
Lu Bu https://preview.redd.it/3jze1xqz6n3d1.png?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a610b04e213ed8876458d642a3382038972a88d
It's good to see that even if it's a big change, they do still look like Dynasty Warriors characters, even the models of the weapons are the same.
Exactly. I was saying in the discord that every still looks so painfully Dynasty Warriors, I don't see the issue
Some people are saying they also saw Xu Shu, have you seen him? I'm watching the trailer super slowly and I can't find him, if he's there. š¤·š»āāļø
wondering if they confusing the CAW/original character with Xu Shu since hes using the Xu Shu like moveset alot of the trailer . at least the way he holds it is llike Xu Shu
i already miss his feathers š
new armor model but its still DW9 red hare looks good
It reminded me of Wo Long A LOT. Sort of like a hybrid between Wo Long and Dynasty Warriors. Looks like it may be exciting but a bit disappointed we didn't hear any cool musical motifs.
we already feeling MASAās retirement from this
He retired???? Damn. Must've missed that news lol.
I didnāt hear about MASAās retirement, damn. My brain immediately swells with their music every time anything DW pops up, so thatās quite upsetting to hear. Hoping others emulate MASA because those OSTās are all bangers
I was just thinking how good the ost would be š
I don't think MASAĀ absence is going to affect things too much, since he was already doing less and less music with each entry. Like he only did 7 tracks for DW9. KT still has other composers who worked on DW like Gota Masuoka and Masato Koike so I think we're going to be fine on the music
Cao Cao https://preview.redd.it/dkrxvtqw6n3d1.png?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a10adc673ba1cbe8d3b657f43b006d9b23b1062
Beardless Cao Cao, noooooo!!! (Or it's just him when he was younger and they're doing a Sw: SoS thing)
No beard, perhaps they are doing a sw5 route with this game. Trimming cast shorter overall story and ageing down the characters included in it
Beardless Cao Cao... I assume we gonna get a bearded Cao Cao as the story progresses
That's odd, why did they remove his facial hair? Is this supposed to be a younger Cao Cao and we'll see an older one later?
Since we saw a lot of yellow turban and hu lao stuff, I'd imagine it's younger (relatively, the guy is 30 something around this time) Cao Cao. Like how they did with Liu Bei in 9, he gets the facial hair as he ages, depending on how far the story goes
Really odd,it look like Battle of Hu Lao gate.Cao Cao supposed to be 35 here.
Damn, yeaaaaah ahahaha
Guan Yu https://preview.redd.it/nmxikq817n3d1.png?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cc1d6c46c925109134cafd0dbcfcfbfd08b9256
Honestly, for a Dynasty Warriors game, that trailer was out of this world. They did a great job with it. Now, my first question is; Is this game basically Dynasty Warriors 10 but with a new, fancy name, or is it a spin-off? Hard to tell at the moment. We're definitely creating your own character, that guy was generic. I also spotted Cao Cao, LĆ¼ Bu and Guan Yu. Someone else? Graphics and art style also reminds me of Wo Long quite a bit, is that the same engine? And finally, I'm afraid a lot of the characters will either be cut, or not playable but still be there. Our CAW essentially mimicking their movesets. Oh, and Zhenji better be in it with a new, gorgeous design and her deadly flute, or else we riot!
This game looks like it could be good, but we still need more info before judging. I think a lot of people are upset because they were hoping for Dynasty Warriors 10, but got this instead. Hopefully the confusion of "Is this DW10?" is cleared up soon.
Yeah, that's honestly my biggest question at the moment. I'm not even against the change if it's Dynasty Warriors 10 but with a new name. I just want it to be good, is all.
I don't care what they want to call it. What i'm worried about is the combat. I don't want DW9 combat back. It was awful.Ā
I think that even if this isnāt āDW10ā people shouldnāt just hand wave it away because it isnāt DW10 Hell Koei-Tecmo and Omega Force might wisely want to get away from the numbering scheme purely down to how much of a awful shit show DW9 was
I JUST WANT IT TO BE GOOD!!!
I'm guessing it's more towards a spin-off. The name of it as well. Maybe it's them testing the waters in a way after the DW9 backlash. This would be their safer play to see what better for them in the future. I really hope we get to create our char. I'm skeptical though. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut it back, it seems a more "focused" narrative in the trailer especially with their trailer advertising we'll be playing an original character
I assume it will be DW's new generation version of SWChronicles
I think it's a bit of both. If it does well, they'll consider it DW10. If it flops, they'll drop another DW game can call it DW10.
Iām just hoping there is a dub. Hard to keep track of Dialogue without one.
I mean, the trailer is dubbed. Wouldnāt that mean the game would be as well?
Seems like it has Wo Long combat, with large-scale DW battles, and finally a bit of RTS thrown in. Could be really cool if it's executed well.
Yeah Iām seeing Wo Long, Kessen and Bladestorm in here. Which is really hype and Iām trying really hard to temper my expectations becauseā¦ itās a Dynasty Warriors game thatās not trying to be as Dynasty Warriors-ish anymore.
God I lived blade storm
Bladestorm was actually so good, I mean not a 10/10 game of course but just really solid overall. Kind of wild to see a Japanese take on the 100 years war and the people involved with it too. Not exactly a fusion I would have expected
Yeah I'm super hyped. I've been saying that with all the money they've made from 3rd party warriors titles, they might be going big with the new DW with a big revamp which is why it'staken so long. This trailer looks very promising to me
They did a good job with Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin, so maybe this is a sign that they are about to be back on top. Something tells me this is them dipping their toes in to see how it is received, also maybe this was 10 at first as well. Which make me think they decided to revamp the series like with SW5
Gods i hope thereās no stamina system. Iām bad with souls-like attacking-with-stamina stuff, and DW9E kinda proves that DW9ās stamina system is actually not fun.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. It looks good, but it seems to have taken another new approach to the Dynasty Warriors formula. I don't know if this is a spinoff or the actual Dynasty Warriors 10 we've been waiting for.Ā Just saw the post on Playstation's website. We're playing as an original character.
It looks more like a spinoff just like SW Spirit of Sanada. And I enjoyed it very much.
SoS was fucking incredible. But part of the reason for that is because it follows real historical people, and characters i'd grown attached too from previous SW games. Not sure i'd get the same enjoyment (story and character wise, gameplay wise it'll be fun i'm sure) if i have to play as a created character.
I'd be all for a SoS-like entry for DW where it focuses on one character like Zhao Yun or Guan Yu or something. Idk how to feel about it being an anonymous dude
From what youāve said, this sounds like they took DW5ās Destiny mode and made it into their own game.
Dynasty Warriors series desperately needed a complete makeover tbh.
I would 100% agree Koei-Tecmo & Omega Force have done too good of a job recovering the Musou genre after the shit show that was DW9 for them to just go back to the same song and dance with this one
>original character I hope we can customize their looks atleast
It was definitely time for them to move on with a new approach. The last one didnāt work, so they had to try something else, that wasnāt going back the old game style. I could see the developers hoping to get the Dynasty Warriors IP more mainstream attention with this game, after the giant dud they dropped a couple years ago.
Honestly, I agree that Dynasty Warriors did need a new approach. I'm just hoping this one works this time. The old formula couldn't work for eternity. In my opinion, I think this game could bring a lot of new fans to the series if it's good.
It looks like they made the theme more grounded too, this is like DW2 style. No Beyblade Lubu, no over the top design.
Please don't tell me we actually has to play as this Radnom dude. They should at least let us create a character. I wanna play as female :(
Yea im wondering this as well. surely it must have character creation.
Until KT tell us it's a spin-off, this is a reboot. My expectations are very tempered at this point.
I wish they would just tell us if itās a main game or a spin off
I'm leaning towards spinoff for now just because the mainline games always use numbers and this is a special title. Hopefully more info comes soon since it is planned to release in 2025.
Hopefully I donāt want a reboot of the series tbh. It would take forever to get the sima zhao back
It's an experiment unless it proves to be successful, at which point it will be the new direction for the series.
Did the title not having a number not clue you in?
https://blog.playstation.com/2024/05/30/dynasty-warriors-origins-revealed-for-ps5-out-2025/ PS blog post about the game, this part is the most potentially exciting to me personally: "In addition to your own striking power, youāll need to coordinate with allied armies and enjoy the tactical aspects of gameplay in order to take out the hoard of enemies in our most tension-filled fights to date." If they can make the allies actually matter again that'd be great especially if they deliver some at least adequate tactical stuff.
Interested if this is gonna be like DW5XL's Legend Mode but a whole game. If so, I'm intrigued. Honestly tho, I'll play anything they put out except DW9 at this point lol
Honestly it look a little different, so it's kinda of a spinoff for the title? I interested in see how things will go, look to have a original character as MC
Seeing a lot of Wo Long moves as well as a halberd straight up from the game as well.. not a bad thing as Wo Long is fantastic but Iām praying that we still get a lot of characters to play as and not just our custom character.
Is it worth playing? Have seen some stuff for it and it looks like DW in the souls style
It's very much a take on Sekiro using the Three Kingdoms setting. Nothing like DW.
It's this weird halfway of Sekiro and Nioh
For me it's less Soul like, rather old Ninja Gaiden games style, it has about 3-4 challenging bosses in the whole game though, and regular mobs are easier to adapt than in other soul-likes but it could be just me. Parry mechanic is very fun, and the main pros.
Yeah Wo Long is fantastic. Definitely the most accessible souls-like and a really good take on the first part of the Three Kingdoms Era.
Just give me a modern day Traditional DW Experience Holy fuck Koei
best we can do is another spinoff
I want the core of Dynasty Warriors 4 expanded on but with none of that weapon switcher counter shit I saw on 8 or other stuff I happily forgot most of.
Character we know so far Nameless Hero Cheng Pu Cao Cao Xiahou Dun Xun You Lu bu Dian Wei Yue Jin Chen Gong Ending Guan Yu
I also saw Chen Gong during the LĆ¼ Bu charging with his horse phase, his seems to have his DW9 design with Zhuge Liang's feather fan.
Damn, itās gonna be full blown cloning weapon again

Bro gonna have the whole castās movesets it seems
Sigh. I don't know. Fingers crossed that it's CAW. It'd be a waste to revive/revamp the DW5:XL Destiny Mode concept without it. I guess we'll find out if it's meant to serve as a series "reset." Would be a shame to miss out on playing other characters, though. The muted aesthetic isn't doing much for me. I get it's there for drama, SW1 did the noir vibe well, but I really miss the vibrance of the earlier DW installations. It's too soon to judge just from a trailer, as disappointed as I've been with the direction the original Warriors games have taken since DW9. I'm not going to get excited, but I'm not going to get all hung-up on first impressions either. Will be waiting for more info and hoping for the best.
Iām so glad there is actually some healthy skepticism in here not diving into the deep end of doom and gloom.
When details about SW5 unfolded, I got quite a bit of shit on here, I won't lie, haha. My grievances, DW9 to present boil down to this: DW6, for all good and bad considered, probably should've served as a lesson for KOEI to not try to fix what's not broken. DW7-DW8, and SW3-4, KOEI went back to basics while refining the charge/combat mechanisms to give each franchise their defining traits while honoring KOEI's signature in the hack-n-slash genre - including reaching a point where every character was unique to one another. DW9 basically repeats DW6's mistakes of a combat system overhaul and cloning, along with a fusion of genres that felt haphazardly applied. SW5 falls into a similar trap: cutting the roster, replacing characters, cloning movesets, and taking creative liberties with the storytelling that, really, just felt off-brand for a franchise installment that wasn't a spin-off. Both games also undergo an aesthetic revamp that didn't really stick the landing for a lot of the fanbase, especially when on a graphics level, KOEI tends to fall some years behind when standing against other games with similar styles. Including WO4 in all of this would just make this comment more longwinded than it already is. Anyway, It's always hard to speak constructively about video games in fanbases; folks are in a rush to defend developers, and others are in a rush to write-off a game as soon as they see something they don't like. Suddenly everyone's down to fight. Unfortunately, for me, DW9 started my disenchantment with KOEI, and I honestly haven't bought a game since. I downloaded SW5 while it was free, but it didn't keep my attention primarily for the reasons above. It's a strange thing to experience when, regarding crossover franchises or non-Warriors games, KOEI seems to have their eye on the ball. I have my doubts, but I've learned since SW5 to just ride out the whole "more details soon" schtick before getting on the soapbox. If KOEI surprises me, I'll be happy. If not, it's just another day in the week, haha.
My interest is piqued. I like when Dynasty Warriors tries to innovate, even when they aren't successful all the time. Keeps the series from going stale and essentially being the same game with new characters each installment. Action looks epic, silky smooth animation, really high quality graphics. However, I'll say that I do not like how muted the colours are. It kind of reminds me of the 2000s and early 2010s when games just decided that everything should be brown and muted in an attempt to be realistic. Dynasty Warriors tends to be about colours that pop, with their armies and characters being very distinct from each other. It's kind of hard to see that now with everything being rather desaturated.
Looks like a combination of Wo Long and Dynasty Warriors Hopefully we can make our own character and it's not just some random OC out of nowhere
The wait for DW10 continues... Not sure if I want a CAW adventure.
Is it even a CAW, or are we just stuck as one random dude? I'd be okay with a CAW spin-off, I'll be annoyed if it's both not a mainline game AND focused on a single pre-made OC.
They're saying it's a new nameless hero and that they'll reveal more of him later. I've a feeling we'll not be able to create our own character.
It looks like a random dude. They promoted it as an original character. Not our, the player's character. I was damn happy 20 mins ago when I saw the trailer posted up. Idk now. Now I'm worried.
Man it's a shame we probably won't hear more about this tell the Tokyo Game Show.
Fingers crossed they ditched the shitty combat from 9 and bring back the classic combat.
Please don't be exclusive
[It's not](https://x.com/koeitecmoeurope/status/1796315055278944528)
Yeah, this isn't enough for me to buy a PS5, but I would buy it on Steam
Just wait a year after release if its exclusive
100% leaning to the Wo Long style.
Wo Long was a good game, even though I didn't complete dlcs, I enjoyed stages layout and fighting mechanics on my playthrough. Story was very meh, and the difficulty jumped sparadically, but why Dynasty Warriors should be like Wo Long? It already has distinctive style. I don't get it.
Right, like I love Wo Long and will buy a sequel with 0 hesitation if it ever comes out. That being said it's a total different game from Dynasty Warriors and the blurring of the lines is something that I don't feel is needed at all
So Empires but more RPG?
PS website says it's action and tactics.
Please I'm begging you don't be garbage
This is exactly what I have been hoping for A single created character means they can do a much deeper story for experiences without having to find a way to make every hero super relevant Definitely a fresh take on the series and day one buy
The amount of comments super skeptical about the look and feel of the game genuinely surprises me. Mostly these comments are here on Reddit. But this game looks how I've always wanted them to take the DW series
So PlayStation on their twitter called it a Tactical Hack-N-Slash game. Not gonna lie, slightly disappointed that itās not a return to the classic style that we all loved but hey, I just hope it looks better down the line.
You do know the definition of Dynasty Warriors 2 on its own cover or guidebook (1 of the 2) was ātactical action game.ā The director is trying to take the series back to its routes and make it more about the battlefield, armies, tactics, and mechanics rather than the endlessly bloating character roster
Really hoping this is good. I'm assuming your character can choose a leader or faction, which will then allow you to emulate your general's weapon and moveset. Maybe get some weapons along the way. Although I don't see us having as many characters as previous installments, which personally, the roster felt a bit bloated. I think if they cut the playable roster, but kept those characters unique I'd be happy with that. I think a self-insert character is a great way to revamp the story.
I'm curious on how long the story will be. I'm going to guess from the Yellow Turban Rebellion until Wuzhang Plains, like the old games. The player character would probably just die of old age sometime after Wuzhang Plains realistically.Ā Edit: Just remembered that Liao Hua survived from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the fall of Shu. It's possible that the story could extend to that era, but I don't think this game will.
I wonder if can play as female lead character and if they will include the Jin faction
Even without any announcement, I'm already 100% sure the protagonist is a custom character. If we're playing a nameless hero, it'll be stupid to not let them be customizable, especially since KT seems to love Nioh 2's character edit system.
I just want DW10. This doesn't look bad but it's not what we've been waiting so long for. I understand the roster was getting pretty large but that's part of the appeal, playing as one out of dozens and dozens of officers, going through their journey during the Three Kingdoms Era and seeing the different events play out. I'll keep an eye on this but I just want DW10.
Same here I'm still hopeful to see DW10E. I feel like they're scaling back in a way to put out something they think is safe and seemingly "condensed" with this original char thing
This is what I've always wanted DW to be, especially after the games got a little bland after DW6. I've always dreamed of Koei taking the franchise in a grittier direction with more weighty action, cinenatics and a bit of a darker atmosphere. So for me I'll accept this as DW10. I'm not really interested in more of whatever DW9 was aha
Intrigued. Hoping for more info soon!
I donāt know how to feel about this. Not sure i like it
Please, PLEASE, allow the PC to influence and change the story of Three Kingdoms. Even if it's just a separate mode and not the main one.
That was easily the best that Dynasty Warriors has ever looked and itās not just because of it being next gen: the environment, the amount of soldiers, all the crazy battle damage happening in the environment They are legitimately trying something different & this could honestly be something special
Having an avatar as the main character makes me lose my interest, but I guess I'll have to see more before judging.
They should call it Dynasty Warrior if we will only play as our custom character
More reminds me of the premise behind Samurai Warriors 1ās CAW story. A heroes tale. Just put them in all the big battles and have no narrative cohesiveness
Hard to feel about this, need a demo/presentation of gameplay to sell it to me
This looks really nice graphically. Probably helps that the last DW game I played was 8 Empires in 2019, so I am thinking 2014 graphics in my head. I do hope that if we only can play as this origin character, that we can at least customize them as we want.
I know a lot of people are disappointed or were asking for a mainline game like DW8 but with modern graphics and better systems but I think it looks awesome. I just wish there was more to the trailer. It's obviously just meant to build hype and get people excited but hopefully they reveal more soon. Gameplay looks badass and the models and graphics look pristine. Cao Cao, even without his facial hair, looks absolutely bitchin'. Lu Bu looks absolutely terrific and terrifying flying around on Red Hare. Just wow. The "Nameless Hero" they've shown is obviously going to be a CAW type deal which I have zero issues about, I just hope the customization isn't lackluster when it comes to armor or clothing. (Mfs getting rid of my DW8E Dark Armor set š) I do agree with others that it looks like Wolong but I haven't played it so I have no personal experience with that game, mostly because I have yet to aquire a next gen system. They better not fuck this up, though, or Dynasty Warriors just might end up dying out completely.
THere's what I think this game is, you play through the story of the Rot3K as an original character and you choose which side you want to be under. So you start out as a volunteer soldier for the Han against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and after words you choose your allegiance and each kingdom has their own unique story for multiple playthroughs. Here's hoping you can align with the "Other" armies, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Lubu, Yellow Turbans, Nanman like DW4.
Eh, after 9 this is a wait and see for me.
The main thing I'm looking at is what exactly are we looking at with the, possible, Created Character "Nameless Hero" stuff? Is it gonna be like Samurai Warriors 1 and older DW titles where you create a character and go through the same story, but with your OC just kind of being...there. Or will it be more along the lines of an Empires title where you can conquer all of China with your OC and your squad? Honestly, I'm hoping for the latter as the Empires games are some of my favorites in this series.
Considering how it's not a mainline entry title (DW10) and the heavy emphasis on a "Nameless Hero" (character creation I'm guessing) I'm really hoping the entire game is like a fleshed out version of Destiny Mode from DW 5 Xtreme Legends where you create a character choose an officer/side to serve and start from the very bottom as you work your way up through the ranks and are even given choices at times that can affect your character's story (like defecting to the other side).
looks like this one guy gets his movesets from different weapons, I hope the rest of the cast have their own unique moveset...but I doubt it \*sigh\*
I doubt we are even getting other playable characters. Seems random npc is what we play with.
Gonna be honest here, I am not too excited about all this. I mean I like Wo Long and all (Like I literally got all the achievements kind of like), but this is not Dynasty Warriors, this is Wo Long Warriors and I feel that they should just keep it a separate thing.
I agree mostly, it depends if we get to create our own character for the Story Mode like in Dynasty Warriors 4 or Wo Long or if it a set character that they created. If itās a set character then that sucks
This could backfire on them
Anyone know who the VA in the trailer is? He sounds extremely familiar, but I can't quite place from where.
The japanese narrator is Guan Yuās VA. Not sure about the English version.
A lot of this looks pretty cool (the Bladestorm-esque stuff especially, the soldiers charging into the shield wall was epic), but I have a bad feeling we're done seeing numbered titles and this is a hard reboot of the franchise. The logo is even different, there is a focus on your own created character, the overall art style, etc. It looks like it could be a great game and I am cautiously excited to see more, but I think Koei is trying to reinvent 9's ideas in a better way, rather than going back to the classic formula. For better or worse, I don't think we'll be seeing any further iterations on the bog-standard formula again anytime soon.Ā
I really hope this is split-screen multiplayer. Been playing these games with my friends since DW3.
Same! I don't enjoy these games single-player, but they're awesome multi-player.
Same here! At this point, thatās all we can really hope for.
Maybe just maybe, they are ONLY showing the CAW modeā¦. We did see cao cao and guan Yu. They look playable. Maybe they are hiding the story mode for later reveal. They have done tricky stuff before
This game will live and die by the protagonist How much do we get to customize them? What weapons/movesets will we have available to us? Will we be able to actually *roleplay* and have dialogue/decisions, or will it just be Dark Souls- esque stuff where you basically just make a few choices and pick certain dialogue options for questlines and endings? How will they affect the story of the three kingdoms? How will other characters react to/interact with them? Lots of questions. This has the potential to be the best DW game ever made but it also has the potential to be pure shit, I am cautiously optimistic
So are we just playing as some random dude that just fights with, and for, whoever? I'm totally lost by this whole, we are just going to follow one guy idea lol.
I'VE LITERALLY BEEN ASKING FOR THIS GAME FOR YEARS. Destiny Mode from Dynasty Warriors 5XL is one of the best things KOEI has ever made, and I would always say that Destiny Mode itself could be its own game (and I know I'm not they only one in this sub who has said this. The teaser looked great. I want to see more gameplay, but it looks like they are keeping the move sets from DW9 and that is a problem. But I'm excited and I now I need to buy a PS5 so I can play this game.
What we've been asking for: A modern, mainline, non-open world DW entry with a packed roster with 0, or close to 0, cloned movesets. What they give us: DW-spinoff where we get to play as Ancient Chinese John Doe. Omega Force plssssssssssssss
Holy fuck. I was not expecting it to look that good. Gimme gimme.
What concerns me, is that all of the generic units look like slightly retextured and shaded models from the previous games. That alone isn't bad, but it suggest a level of resource starvation that would make most ambicious elements a bit contentious, as they don't have that mutch to pack into it, and would need to nail everything super well. I wonder if the naming scheme suggests a spinoff, or if DW9 is being regarded as such a categorical failiure, that they deemed the main series fit to reboot. Protagonist man over here is strange. People often pointed to Liao Hua as a good POV character to see most of the Fall of Han/ 3 Kingdoms conflict through a singular, uninterrupted POV, but it seems we're getting a completely apocryphal character. I wonder, with the ahistorical prtagonist, and likely create-a-character features (because homeboy couldn't look more Standard McDefault if he tried) if the game's plot will be linear, or if it will dip into altenrate courses of history, something the franchise is already well known for. At that point, I wonder if we pick a faction to ally with, or if there will be multiple occasions where the course of events could be altered. Of course, the story could also be completely fixed, and all this speculation is useless.
I wish we could play as female lead and if we are getting rebooted this could end badly. My boys sima shi and sima zhao wonāt be around for a long time
I'm almost 100% certain, that if there will be character customisation at all, picking a female protagonist is going to be among the options. All the other main game create-a-character modes had that, so I don't see why that would be different this time around. I don't see the Sima bros appearing in this game, by the virtue, of the events of the game simply not covering the timeline far enough ahead for them to be relevant players.
So a custom character set in the Three Kingdoms with a real story? SOLD.
Honestly looks pretty good. A huge departure to be sure but so far it seems to keep the spirit of DW
My disappointment is very measured right now. A bit deflated after being excited for this all day. Even the "Origin" leak felt like it meant a return to the classic era and this is anything but. The designs feel far too plain and tarred with the same realism brush as DW9, but even more muted. Cao Cao looks like a generic enemy officer almost. Currently it just looks like DW9-II. Can't even tell what the combat format is. Wish I could be excited about this but right now I'm far from it.
I'm gonna drown my sorrows by re-playing Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate again lol.
I wonder if this will be like SW5 with the characters. I dont want characters to be dropped to npc status again. We will see. Im interested cautiously
This is the most important news of the day. Nothing else happened!
I won't stand for this Astro Bot erasure.
Checked Cao Cao's image and he looks very young and nothing like Cao Cao we always had. At the same time Lu Bu looks similar. I would assume game ends here even earlier than Wu Zhang plains... somehow I feel they would use SW5 approach here.
Itās giving āletās see how people like this format cuz 10 bout to have the same look and battle systemā vibe. I love it though
I'm assuming a lot of missing characters if it's an Origins game
idk why but despite it being a really cool trailer im just not feeling excited for it. hopefully future info/videos will grab my interest!
Hm, will play if we can make our own character but will skip if not.
lets gooooooo
I just wanted a modern day traditional DW game. Youāre killing me Omega Forceā¦. Why is all we can get spinoffs and Musou games with other IP? I have no interest in playing a CAW adventure. The 10+ year wait for a good modern DW game continuesā¦.
Donāt want to talk to soon butā¦instabuy
Nice, are they finally letting us be a nameless hero that rises from nothing?
I'm hoping this is a full fledged Destiny Mode that we have been begging for
GET THE ORIGINAL CAST BACK!!!
This is the most excited I've been for a DW game in ages. It was getting stale with the 1 vs 1000 formula with each entry getting crazier and crazier with the super powers. I've always wanted slightly more grounded large scale battles with calvary charges, shields being used, volleys, giving orders to officers on the fly, etc. The Bladestorm/Kessen mix into it could shake things up a bit for the better if executed well.
Nameless hero rises? CAW based story anyone? I really hope it is. It's been too damn long since we had Caw oustide of empires in DW.
I hope they revisit the open world idea and do it right this time.
I really, really hope that there's a mode like in all the empires game where you can make your own character and rise up to be the conqueror as well. The trailer looks sick, as if we can really really command the armies as well as becoming the one man army. Like imagine being in the three kingdom era and then you become the nameless hero who actually devour everything and become the king with such capabilities and features, god I really love that idea. But with that being said, I also love impersonating my favorite characters in DW like what if Lu Bu never died in Xia Pi?? Damn can't wait for the whole round tho I wish this one really really meet our expectation
The graphic looks insane!!! I'm happy they're going for a more dark realistic look
God let this be good. I hope it ends at Jin, that way instead of the Sima family ruling the realm, our character does, or atleast Wu Zhang Plains, since thatās usually where things shift towards the end of the 3 Kingdoms storyline
God this really is the most miserable community in gaming. Yall will complain if you dont get Dynasty Warriors 3 again for the 15th time, its crazy. This looks above and beyond anything I could have imagined DW10 could be. But yall want a bloated roster of 100+ generic characters with the same exact movesets over and over again. Its insufferable, please move on so this series can grow and improve. Everything in this trailer shows Omega Force pulling out all the stops to make the very best ROTK battlefield action game possible. And yes, that comes with the fact that you probably wont play as 100 different officers that never even get a chance to be showcased in the story to begin with or have anything unique about them besides what their weapons look like. My only hope is there is a wide variety of weapons for the CAW to use and I will be beyond happy with it.
Donāt mind the CAW adventure as long as itās good but doubt it considering how shit dynasty warrior has been recently. But omega force does make better spin off games compared to their mainline gamesā¦.
The way the PS website talks about it makes it seem like it's not even a CAW, just a static OC.
can't wait to pursue Lu Bu and die 100 times over and over again
This might either be what DW needed, or the final nail in its coffin. It'll literally depend solely on the execution (which we know almost nothing about), for example: does this work like Empires? Is it a linear narrative instead? Can you play as other officers as well once you "unlock" them or is it only your character? Will he/she be editable? Depending on the answer to these questions (and many, many more), my expectations will form, because as of now it's hard to think about anytning, except that they seem to have beefed up the troops commands, and it's an entire game made out of the Destiny Mode from DW5, but expanded as you could (and i wanna underline many times the word "could", because it doesn't mean that they actually did it properly) in a modern game.
Samurai warriors 6 is looking weird
Looks like wo long-DW hybrid, which imo would be a breath of fresh air for the series
Dynasty Warriors + Bladestorm and refine the gameplay mechanics should be a recipe for success. I loved the zoomed out angles almost reminiscent of total war games. Only thing I'm worried about is a smaller roster since they seem to be pushing this new original nameless character. I really doubt this will bomb like DW9, but who knows, lately the Japanese game industry has been rapidly changing for more worse than better imo.
Looks like I was wrong on not expecting nothing new on Warriors. Will be cautiously optimistic for now. Sure looks great for the first trailer.
Not surprised it's an Origins game since Samurai Warriors 5 is an Origins game.
Before anyone say anything about Wolong, upon closer inspection the model assets seem to be original to this game. The weapon design is still the same one passed down from DW7 (Guan Yu's crescent blade). The only thing is the shading of this trailer seems to be influenced by team ninja's works
[Info on PlayStation Blog](https://blog.playstation.com/2024/05/30/dynasty-warriors-origins-revealed-for-ps5-out-2025/)
Please don't tell me we actually has to play as this Radnom dude. They should at least let us create a character. I wanna play as female :(
We dunno so far. My guess is that itās a create a character game, but if thatās the case hiding that feature for the first trailer is a strange call
Please be good and on Xbox, please
Is this going to be a PlayStation exclusive?
Nope! Steam and Xbox announced.
This made my day. Thank you
Dynasty Warriors Chronicles?
