Dynasty Warriors: Origins

First announced in May 2024, Dynasty Warriors: Origins finally has a release date. The latest installment of the slash-and-hack franchise is coming on January 17, 2025 to PS5 and other platforms.

The Dynasty Warriors franchise is well-known for its gameplay of having a single player fighting through hundreds, if not thousands, of mobs of opponents. It’s a style that’s been adopted by other popular titles as well. Origins will be its most modern version yet coming in with a new coat of paint and improved gameplay.

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force detailed the following on the PlayStation blog.

Battles

There are various situations for battles. You may find yourself leading the way in battle on your own, or joining alongside allied officers and soldiers to charge towards large forces of enemies. You can rely on the strength of accompanying Musou officers, or issue commands to the unit you lead.

A Three Kingdoms told from the perspective of an original protagonist

The game takes place inside the Three Kingdoms. This is a famous time period of ancient China in what played out as a dramatic ensemble masterpiece.

In order to suppress the violent group known as the Yellow Turbans, many famous officers came together to battle them. However, after the battle ended there were many questions left unanswered.

Why did the officers part ways? How did that end up in the creation of the Three Kingdoms? A closer look reveals that there were many historic and beloved characters involved, each with their own relationships and agendas, which then expanded into a story about conquering kingdoms.

Musou Officers

In the Three Kingdoms, there are many well-known and powerful officers such as Lu Bu (do not pursue Lu Bu!). Battles against these officers who possess the near superhuman strength of 1 vs. 1,000 results in combat that is highly action-oriented and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This military power also thrives within your allies, and the Companion officer that accompanies the protagonist can become temporarily playable if certain conditions are met during battle.

Millennials, prepare to have your nostalgia get hit right in the feels. Nintendo has officially announced that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch.

This year, the Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Naturally, with Pokémon Day coming up, it’s only right to celebrate the event with something huge. Finally, two of the most prolific titles in the series are coming to a modern console.

Originally released in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At the time, the two titles reimagined the older games for the Game Boy Advance. Additionally, they introduced new post-game content set in the Sevii Islands, where Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys reside in the Kanto region.

Based on the short teaser trailer, the upcoming Switch versions will feature all of both games’ content. It will likely be remastered for the Switch’s larger screen.

To showcase more of the Switch version, Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Presents on February 27. The brand has not mentioned anything about a potential physical version yet. However, they do promise that both games will be available on the Nintendo eShop as soon as next week’s Pokémon Presents concludes. Each game will cost US$ 19.99.
