Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series is in a period of expansion and discounting. A remaster of Dynasty Warriors 2 with Xtreme Legends is set for an October 1 launch, and the 2026 summer sale discounts the recent Dynasty Warriors: Origins and its DLC across all major storefronts.
Koei Tecmo Games is pushing the Dynasty Warriors series in two directions at once. The newest entry, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, and its Dreamlike Four Heroes DLC are part of the publisher's Summer Sale announced on July 28, with discounts of up to 85% on PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Nintendo eShop. Sale periods vary by store, ending between July 30 and August 12. The sale also covers Nioh 3, Fate/Samurai Remnant, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
The other thread is a move backward in the series' timeline. During Sony's State of Play broadcast on June 3, Koei Tecmo announced Dynasty Warriors 2 with Xtreme Legends Remastered, a package that bundles the 2001 PlayStation 2 title and its expansion disc into a single release. The game launches on October 1, after being delayed in January from its original March 19 date for quality improvements. The remaster brings upgraded graphics, modernized controls, and new mechanics such as horse calling, evasion, and just evasion.
The remaster also reaches forward in the series. Shiran, the protagonist of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, appears as a playable character with new weapons, actions, and a dedicated scenario. The game releases on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, while the original Nintendo Switch version has been canceled. Pre-orders for the PS5 version opened on June 3.
