Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force will release Dynasty Warriors: Origins for Switch 2 on January 22, 2026, the companies announced. The previously announced large-scale downloadable content will also launch across all platforms on the same day.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins first launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on January 17, 2025, and has shipped and digitally sold over one million units.

Here is an overview of the game, via Koei Tecmo:

Dynasty Warriors: Origins introduces a new, deeper interpretation of the traditional Three Kingdoms storyline, which depicts ancient Chinese history. From the “Yellow Turban Rebellion” to the climax of the “Battle of Chibi,” the story of Dynasty Warriors: Origins drops players into the heart of an ancient China in turmoil. Through the eyes of a nameless hero, players will have to fight fiercely while making bold choices in order to restore peace and shape history to their own experience, battling enormous enemy armies while navigating the chaos of the Three Kingdoms era.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins delivers an overwhelming sense of realism on every battlefield, with the largest number of soldiers in the series’ history, intermingled and fighting with their own individual wills. Enemy soldiers attacking in cooperation are extremely formidable, and you must not only fight with your own skills, but also charge forward with your allies to clear the way. Once you push up the battleline and are prepared to fight, you and your allies can charge into the massive armies of enemies, experiencing a sense of realism of the battlefield in an unprecedented scale where thousands of soldiers collide!
