In a recent interview, Dynasty Warriors: Origins Producer Tomohiko Sho, Director Mitsuhiro Oshima and Programmer Masamichi Oba talked about the newest title in the series and how the team worked on a different canceled Dynasty Warriors game before Origins. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
When asked about when development for Dynasty Warriors: Origins started, Sho said it was during the latter half of 2021, since the team was near the end of development for Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires. Sho added that the development of Origins started with the idea of "going back to basics" as the core concept, as recent titles in the franchise had evolved to favor a more fast-paced combat in contrast to the tactical gameplay the series started with
Oba added that, before development of Dynasty Warriors: Origins started, him and Oshima started working on a numbered Dynasty Warriors game. This would have been Dynasty Warriors 10. The gameplay of this canceled title was an extension of the direction taken with Dynasty Warriors 7, with the game featuring a large number of playable characters.
Oba also said that some of the ideas in the canceled title made it into Origins. He gave a few examples, such as making the game easier to understand for those unfamiliar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and exploring the story at a deeper level. Additionally, the world map featured in Origins was also something planned for the canceled numbered title.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins will come out on January 17, 2025 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. You can read our review of the game here.

Dr. Doot, streamer and Souls series challenge runner, took on Elden Ring's bosses during Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 in a sub-30-minute run. Defeating bosses like Radahn, Hoarah Loux and Malenia, Dr. Doot took on some of the fiercest bosses in the game not with a controller but an electronic Aerophone AE-10 saxophone.
Awesome Games Done Quick 2025, the charity speed running event that raises money for charity initiatives with a full week of video game, featured runs of everything from Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Deus Ex, and Metal Gear Solid. This saxophone-controlled Elden Ring run was a special incentive for the event raising $1,500,000 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
Dr. Doot's run, on the Aerophone electronic saxophone, boiled down to him playing various notes on the saxophone to correspond with various actions. He could only do one thing at a time, by making a different midi "doot" sound on the saxophone. Dr. Doot has used this alternative control method to fight bosses in Dark Souls III, Sekiro and Elden Ring. Additionally, he has completed full runs without getting hit once by any of the main game's bosses while playing the saxaphone.
The run ran 29 minutes and 22 seconds with Dr. Doot defeating Rykard, Radahn, The Fire Giant, Gideon Ofnir, Radagon, and the Elden Beast without taking any damage. The main items used in the run were the Star Fist for its intense posture damage and bleed. The only fights in the run that managed to hit Dr. Doot were Godfrey, the First Elden Lord and Malenia, Blade of Miquella, who became legendary in the community for being one of the hardest fights in FromSoftware history.
FromSoftware will also be provide new challenges to players in the upcoming spinoff: Elden Ring: Nightreign. This multiplayer-focused stand-alone adventure will release in 2025, with a Network Test on the way in February.
Elden Ring is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series X. It's expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree is also available on all platforms. Elden Ring: Nightreign, the stand-alone co-op spinoff, will release later in 2025.
