Dynasty Warriors: Origins, similar to its predecessors, is set during the fall of the Han Dynasty in China. Featuring a semi-linear campaign where you play as an original character, the Wanderer, you must partake in dozens of battles to bring about a new age. Still, you might be wondering just how many hours you need to spend to get all the way to the conclusion. Here’s our guide on how long it takes to beat Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

How long to beat Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Campaign length and mission list guide
Generally speaking, it should take roughly 25 to 30 hours to beat Dynasty Warriors: Origins. This assumes that you’re playing on Wayfarer (i.e. Normal) difficulty and you’re just focusing on main missions. Do take note, however, that missions have a suggested level requirement. As such, you still need to tackle side objectives to boost your character’s capabilities.
Those who want to do the main missions and a bit of side content can expect around 30 to 35 hours of playtime. This includes completing a few skirmishes to increase your level, tackling the Shards of the Past side quest to unlock secret skills, and undertaking more battles in Chapter 3 before you make a pivotal decision (more on this later).
Lastly, completionists will be glad to know that it would take over 60 hours to unlock everything in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. This is because of the game’s Story Replay function, Old Coins rewards, Altered Fates, and Ultimate Warrior challenges.
