Dynasty Warriors: Origins exceeds expectations, breaking franchise records
Dynasty Warriors has had its ups and downs over the series’ 25+ year history, with the franchise’s primary point of failure for the longest time being its rapid release cycles leading to undercooked experiences. Following its longest hiatus yet, the series made a grand return with the recent release of Dynasty Warriors: Origins – breaking franchise records on PC.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins officially launched last weekend (following 3 days of advanced access) to a wave of positivity both critically and commercially.
With a 94% positive rating on Steam, Dynasty Warriors: Origins is easily one of the highest reviewed entries in the series’ history.
This critical success seems to be equally matched by its sales performance as the game recently saw a peak concurrent player count of 69,483 on Steam – the second highest for any Koei Tecmo-published game (just behind Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s 75k peak CCU).
Hopefully the early success of Dynasty Warriors: Origins encourages Omega Force and Koei Tecmo to continue taking their time with future releases of Dynasty Warriors – as well as their other musou games of course.
