Following a lengthy hiatus, the mainline Dynasty Warriors franchise is back this Friday, January 17, with the most ambitious entry in the hack-and-slash action series to date. Dynasty Warriors: Origins has some enticing launch and preorder offers that fans will want to check out before they expire.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins’ Digital Deluxe Edition is actually already available, as one of the perks of the $90 Digital Deluxe Edition is three-day early access. This version costs $90, but PC players can purchase a Steam key from Fanatical for $73.79 right now. If you want a physical edition for console, Best Buy is giving away $10 digital gift cards with preorders for PS5 and Xbox Series X. This offer isn’t available for the digital edition, but PC players can save over $12 on Steam preorders of the standard edition at Fanatical.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins Launch & Preorder Deals
Origins builds on the flashy musou combat of its predecessors, offering the biggest and most dynamic iteration of the formula yet. We awarded Origins a 7/10 in our review, and it currently holds an 80/100 Metascore and GameSpot sister site Metacritic. It’s shaping up to be a big hit with fans, too; Origins currently holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” user review average on Steam. Since it serves as a prequel that essentially reboots the franchise, Dynasty Warriors: Origins caters to both newcomers and longtime fans. There’s a free demo available on all platforms, in case you want to check it out before preordering.
