Dynasty Warriors Origins Expands with Visions of Four Heroes, New Weapons, January 2026
During the Japan State of Play event, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force announced “Visions of Four Heroes,” a major DLC release for Dynasty Warriors: Origins. The DLC is scheduled to launch on January 22, 2026—coinciding with the game’s release on Nintendo’s next console, approximately one year after the original game was launched. The “Visions of Four Heroes” DLC will allow players to control four significant, yet often overlooked, characters from the Three Kingdoms period: Zhang Jiao, leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion; Dong Zhuo, a power-hungry strategist; Yuan Shao, an ambitious aristocrat; and Lu Bu, the legendary warrior. Each character will feature in their own mini-campaigns, complete with alternative storylines and unique objectives. The developers also announced the addition of two new weapon types. Players will be able to wield the Bow for the first time, as well as the Rope Dart—a dagger attached to a flexible cord that allows for complex combos. In addition to these new weapons, existing ones will be enhanced with new active skills, updated talent boards, and an increased level cap.
