A large-scale DLC is coming for Dynasty Warriors: Origins as a celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. On top of that, according to an announcement from the series’ publisher, Koei Tecmo, a remaster of one of the nine previous titles is in the works.

It is worth noting that Koei Tecmo, as well as the developer of the series, Omega Force, consider the second part of the series, 2000’s Dynasty Warriors 2 (known in Japan as Shin Sangokumusō), as the initial part of the franchise, because the very first installment, 1997’s Dynasty Warriors (known in the Land of the Rising Sun as Sangokumusō), differs greatly in genre and style from the series, as the franchise changed direction starting with the second part.
