All 47 Dynasty Warriors Origins Returning Characters Shown

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have revealed the full character roster for Dynasty Warriors Origins. The new game will feature half of the 94-character roster that was available in the 2018 entry Dynasty Warriors 9.

Tomohiko Sho announced via the series’ official X account that a total of 47 “Musou Officers” (unique combatant characters) will appear in Origins. While there are 16 returning characters—including 9 playable companions—shown on the game’s official website, the producer opted to reveal the remaining 31 combatants via the X account. The characters appeared on a daily basis, starting with an older version of Gan Ning on October 10, 2024. The reveals concluded with a younger version of Zhuge Liang on November 9, 2024.

In addition, while some of the characters shown during the Tokyo Game Show 2024 in September had different Japanese voice actors, most of those revealed on X retain their original voice actors. Ling Tong in particular will have posthumous voiceover work by Taiki Matsuno, who had completed providing all necessary voiced lines before his death in late June 2024. Meanwhile, Hirohiko Kakegawa will not reprise his roles in the new entry, as Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci are being newly voiced by Kohei Fukuhara and Joichiro Ohtsuki, respectively.

The complete list of Dynasty Warriors Origins characters, sorted by the main factions they belong to, is available right below:

• Liu Bei’s faction (eventual Shu kingdom): Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Yueying
