Dynasty Warriors: Origins Update Adds New Features, Weapons, And More

Koei Tecmo‘s latest entry in the Dynasty Warriors series has gotten some new features and adjustments. Dynasty Warriors: Origins marks the return of the acclaimed hack-and-slash franchise after 2021 with Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires and the newest title has received positive reviews from critics and action-gaming lovers alike. The game follows an unknown hero who rises to the occasion to aid in the destruction of corrupt governmental control and continuous famine across the land. This update is the latest since February 6th, which fixes issues with the Steam version specifically. The February 21st update aids in fighting off bugs across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins release version update tackles bugs with portable items like the Incense of Vitality not working to heal allies properly during battle, upgrade boosts for the Adamantine Flesh Battle Art being disabled after mastering it, as well as the strength problem with the Crescent Blade Battle Art Azure Dragon Bellow not increasing. When it comes to additional features, a shortened time length was added for invulnerable enemies during animations that play out when they enter Rage mode, and a Gold Serpent Spear has been added to the game.
