Koei Tecmo announced during the Nintendo Direct stream on Friday that its Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Shin Sangoku Musō Origins) game will get a version for Nintendo Switch 2 on January 22. The company also revealed that the game is getting “large-scale” paid DLC for all platforms on the same day. The game launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam last January. Koei Tecmo Games describes the game’s concept as centering on a “nameless hero [who] conquers the turbulent and chaotic Three Kingdoms alongside legendary figures.” The company describes the game’s story: Dynasty Warriors: Origins introduces a new, deeper interpretation of the traditional Three Kingdoms storyline, which depicts ancient Chinese history. The story begins the year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the dawn of an era of great upheaval, when the protagonist — a martial artist with amnesia — visits a village suffering from famine. Here, he meets Zhang Jiao, a long-haired man who offers a helping hand to people, and Guan Yu, a bearded warrior who denounces the injustice of government officials, and together they fight against the forces of corrupt officials. The latest game in the franchise, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires (Shin Sangoku Musō 8 Empires), launched in Japan in December 2021. The game then launched in North America and Europe in February 2022.

Koei Tecmo mengumumkan dalam siaran Nintendo Direct pada Jumat bahwa Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Shin Sangoku Musō Origins) akan hadir di Nintendo Switch 2 pada 22 Januari 2026. Bersamaan dengan itu, game ini juga akan merilis DLC berbayar berskala besar untuk semua platform pada hari yang sama.
Game ini pertama kali diluncurkan untuk PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, dan PC melalui Steam pada Januari 2025.
Menurut Koei Tecmo, konsep Dynasty Warriors: Origins berfokus pada seorang “pahlawan tanpa nama yang menaklukkan kekacauan Tiga Kerajaan bersama tokoh legendaris.”
Ceritanya mengambil sudut pandang baru dari kisah klasik Tiga Kerajaan dalam sejarah Tiongkok kuno. Latar dimulai setahun sebelum Pemberontakan Serban Kuning, ketika sang protagonis—seorang ahli bela diri yang kehilangan ingatan—mengunjungi desa yang dilanda kelaparan. Di sana, ia bertemu dengan Zhang Jiao, seorang pria berambut panjang yang menolong rakyat, serta Guan Yu, seorang prajurit berjanggut yang mengecam ketidakadilan pejabat korup. Bersama, mereka memimpin perlawanan melawan kekuatan penguasa yang menindas.
Seri Dynasty Warriors sendiri terakhir merilis Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires (Shin Sangoku Musō 8 Empires) di Jepang pada Desember 2021, disusul perilisan global di Amerika Utara dan Eropa pada Februari 2022.
