The Chinese Three Kingdoms era figure Lu Bu has also been known as a very powerful boss in Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors games, and it will be no exception either in the series’ newest entry, Dynasty Warriors Origins. The live stage and stream from the PlayStation booth on the fourth and final day of Tokyo Game Show 2024 featured a challenging fight against the boss character.
The segment in question was based on the TGS 2024 demo build of Dynasty Warriors Origins. While the demo primarily featured the Battle of Sishui Gate stage, it had an extra challenge for players with decent skills. Those who cleared the demo stage with a rank of A or S and had over a minute remaining from the allotted 15 minutes of gameplay could get an extra fight against Lu Bu.
Despite the availability of the extra challenge, there had been no reports of a player who could defeat Lu Bu in the Dynasty Warriors Origins demo before this stage show went live. The PlayStation booth team thus tasked the game’s producer Tomohiko Sho to play the demo by himself and try to reach and beat Lu Bu.
The stream’s archive is also available to watch right below. Tomohiko Sho’s gameplay attempt starts at around 41:10, and the Lu Bu challenge begins at 52:50. The same stream also featured a sneak peek of the Campaign Against Yuan Shu stage earlier at 22:25.
Dynasty Warriors Origins will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC simultaneously worldwide on January 17, 2025.
