Dynasty Warriors maker reveals unmade sequel and Star Wars dreams

It is rare for the video game series to become very common, as it inspires copies – but it is rarely unique that it begins this type.

But this is what happened with Dynasty Warriors, a series that was a pioneer in play “1 for 1000”, where the player defeats thousands of enemies at each level.

Over the years of development – the series has been going since 1997 on the original PlayStation – the restrictions of devices that mean at its best in a few hundred enemies that could appear on the screen at any time.

But all that changes now, with the strength of modern keyboards that allow up to 10,000 exhibitions on the screen simultaneously.

In other words, the title “1 for 1000” is finally achieved.

With this new power comes a new game – after seven years in the wilderness, the publisher Koei Tecmo returned with Dynasty Warriors: Orions.

Throughout this period, the series has faced a problem – although 21 million copies of its history are sold – Dynasty Warriors has always been sold better in Japan.

“It is something we are trying to make a lot of people out to play,” the chief developer Omega Fores, Tomohiko Show, told the BBC.

But times may change, as the Dynasty Warriors version: Assets in January 2025 witnessed the encouragement of sales.

In the UK, the top 10 retail sales plans broke, while online it was the best -selling game on retail stores – with a decrease of 70,000 people at the same time at launch.

There have been nine numbered inputs in the series since it started in 1997, and its climax at Dynasty Warriers 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

But progress in devices means Mr. Sho now believes it’s the right time to complement.

Although he did not call it a restart, the team abandoned numbered titles and simply called the Dynasty Warriors game: Origins – may indicate that the studio believes this is a turning point for concession.

It was released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and PC in January 2025, becoming the first major entry into the series in seven years.

Mr. Show BBC told that the team was working on a complement – which could have been called Dynasty Warriors 10 – but he felt that it simply resembled previous games, which fans began “bored a little.”

Instead, the long -awaited game has been canceled in order to take advantage of the new devices.

Mr. Show said: It was possible to be the “Surrend” Woriors: The origins of origins to what happened before are simple.

“Either you really liked it, or did not do,” he said.

He said that the completion that it did not issue was similar to what happened before, but by the time when the development was in full swing, a change in the game industry eventually stopped production.

Within two days of each other in November 2020, Sony PlayStation 5 released and Microsoft launched Xbox Series X – So SO Strong MR.

“The current technology allows us to have many forces and army officers on the screen,” he said.

“This is something I have wanted to do since Dynasty Warriors 2 and 3.”

These two games, which were released on PlayStation 2 again in 2000 and 2001, can run at the twenty or thirty years on the screen once.

The new devices can manage a lot – as PlayStation 5 Pro sees a greater performance leap.

“We are able to get many forces on the screen – not only thousands, but tens of thousands,” said Mr. Show.

“With the current generation of keyboards, we can do this.”

But all this strength comes at a cost – there are no multiple players, which have been an essential element in the series since PlayStation 2 days.

“I fully realize that he is seen as a creative part of the series,” he said.

He felt that multiple players would lead to “loss of performance”, which means fewer enemies on the screen, so he decided not to include it.

But he said this might change if the game was given a complement.

“If everyone really has the game, for the next game in the series, we will definitely have multiple players,” he said.

In the temporary years between the Dynasty Warriors 9 version and Dynasty Warriors: Origins, the team focused on other things – transverse operations.

These are versions of the game, within this type 1 versus 1000, outside the main series that usually features different characters – such as how Puss in Boots is a partner display.

The company has found success in this field with games that include a series of chain such as Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda and Sega’s Persona 5.

SHO said that Dynasty Warriors: Origins was a shift in the direction as it focused on performance – while the exhibitions were about the privileges concerned.

“When the teams were close to development, she was not thinking about the devices,” he said.

“But more than that, with Hylarle Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors on the switch, how can we do it better as Woorer’s game?”

He said that the future of Dynasty Warriors was about “getting the maximum benefit” from the current keyboards – perhaps with more enemies on the screen.

Although he laughed at the suggestion that the studio may be considering cooperation in the final “cross” – the hedgehog game.

“I also love Sonic, just to teach you,” he said.

Mr. Show said that if he could make any Warriors dynasty vulnerable, there are two series of fans – Star Wars and Lord of The Rings.

“If there is an opportunity, I definitely love facing the challenge,” he said.
