Dynasty Warriors: A New Chapter
Omega Force is developing "Dynasty Warriors Origins," a tactical action game set during the Three Kingdoms period. This marks the first mainline Dynasty Warriors title since 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9 (excluding its 2022 expansion). The game follows a "Nameless Hero" and launches in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
Other Upcoming Releases and a Mystery AAA Title
The report also confirms the global release of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake" in October 2024 (PS4, PS5, Switch, PC) and "FAIRY TAIL 2" this winter (PS4, PS5, Switch, PC). Critically, the report highlights development of at least one unannounced AAA title, adding to the anticipation.
