After the flop that was Dynasty Warriors 9, Omega Force hasn't been deterred from trying something new with the long-running series and you can try it for yourself this week. Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the follow-up to 2018's Dynasty Warriors 9 which felt like a bit of a misstep with its barren open world. Not to be put off trying new things, Omega Force has shaken up the series formula once again with its 10th mainline instalment, opting for a single protagonist and a handful of playable companions, rather than the usual massive roster of characters that's the norm for the franchise.
And it works! We called it "a much-needed franchise reset" that's the best the series has been for quite a while in our Dynasty Warriors: Origins review – even with the notable lack of co-op or multiplayer at launch. So fans will be itching to dive into the world of China’s Three Kingdoms era and experience the pretty significant changes for themselves. Happily, you can do that this week – or from today if you shelled out the extra money for early access.
Here's everything you need to know about Dynasty Warriors: Origins early access release time as well as the full launch details. Dynasty Warriors: Origins early access starts on Tuesday, January 14 at 12am local time. If you're in the US, it's worth noting that midnight local time is based on Eastern Time so that would make Dynasty Warriors: Origins early access release time 12am GMT / 12am EST on Tuesday, January 14, and 9pm PST on Wednesday, January 15.
