Dynasty Warriors: Origins is an exceptional game that players love and praise enthusiastically. It is a game that is not only loved by players but is also a favorite for a lot of individuals. The hack-and-slash RPG experience set against the backdrop of the legendary Chinese Three Kingdoms period sets it apart.
Players step into the shoes of a mysterious warrior, determined to influence the destiny of China. This past weekend, Dynasty Warriors: Origins nearly hit a staggering 70,000 concurrent players peaking at just under 69,483. In contrast, the last four titles in the series only managed to attract players, this has made Origins over 17 times more popular.
This achievement shines bright when it is compared to other entries in the Dynasty Warriors franchise. Not only this, but it also marks the second-largest launch for any Koei Tecmo game. An insightful graph was presented by Alejandro from Game Discover Co. that highlighted these differences.
While Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty still has the record for being the largest launch in Koei Tecmo’s history. The success of Origins is likely a source of great satisfaction for the company.
Wo Long right now has a mixed rating on Steam, with an approval rating of just 47%. In contrast, Dynasty Warriors: Origins boasts an impressive 94% approval rating which suggests a more stable sales trajectory.
Despite having 6,000 fewer users, it is hard to believe Wo Long was more financially viable on Steam. Considering the return policy of Steam, it is likely that many players opted to return Wo Long.
However, it is not supposed to undermine the overall success of Wo Long. Instead, it highlights the remarkable success of Origins in the niche series.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins truly gave this franchise the new life that it deserves. Whether players are interested in interesting mythical stories or the impressive spectacle of fighting enemies, all will love this experience.
