Dynasty Warriors: Origins review for Nintendo Switch 2

System: Switch 2
Release date: January 22, 2026
Developer: Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
As a franchise standing at about three decades, one could be forgiven for feeling that maybe the Dynasty Warriors series had gotten a little stale. With an addictive gameplay loop that can be satisfying on a basic level of dishing out lots of damage to hordes of enemies with powerful weapons to the deeper tactical side of managing a battlefield, it has been so popular that spin-offs following the same formula have been released with different franchise coats of paint. Persona, The Legend of Zelda, One Piece, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, and more have all gotten the Warriors treatment over the years, so chances are you have at least played one of Omega Force’s hack-and-slash titles. Criticism has been labeled at the last few Musou games for just sticking to the core formula without evolving or shaking it up. Some have argued there hasn’t been any strong innovation in the series since 2003’s Dynasty Warriors 4, and although that’s a statement I don’t agree with, I can understand the sentiment of burnout with the franchise and its many iterations. Now after a seven-year gap between Dynasty Warriors 9 and Origins, what has changed and what have the developers done to tackle the notion of the series needing a refresh?

Dynasty Warriors Origins is 30 FPS on Nintendo Switch 2, Koei Tecmo explains why

When Dynasty Warriors Origins comes to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year, it’ll run at 30 frames per second. Koei Tecmo has now commented on why that is.
Dynasty Warriors Origins originally ran at 60 FPS on other platforms. Technically, Nintendo Switch 2 could do this as well. Omega Force brand head Tomohiko Sho has indicated that 60 FPS would be possible on the console if they cut back on the amount of soldiers comparable to previous entries in the series.
