Dynasty Warriors Origins marked the epic return of this once famous legendary action game series.
Nearly 7 years have passed since Dynasty Warriors 9 was released. It was thought that this series would gradually sink into oblivion, but then, Dynasty Warriors Origins reappeared and it cannot be denied that this is a very successful opening blockbuster for 2025.
The success of Dynasty Warriors Origins can be easily seen through its number of gamers on Steam.
Just one day after launch, Dynasty Warriors Origins reached its peak concurrent player count of 63,799. This is a huge leap compared to the number that the free demo of this action RPG achieved at launch. In addition, it is also the highest number this legendary series has ever had on Steam.
Like the rest of the series, Dynasty Warriors Origins focuses on impressive epic battles and stays close to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms setting but still has some fictional details. More importantly, the game aims to resolve the plot more thoroughly than previous versions. Instead of controlling one of countless named characters, you play as a nameless protagonist. The battles are also a combination of sudden clashes between hundreds of soldiers, along with cinematic battles with villainous bosses.
The majority of Steam reviews for Dynasty Warriors Origins range from positive to very positive. So it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this blockbuster is one of the most prominent projects in the early part of 2025.
