During PlayStation's 'State of Play' broadcast this week, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force issued a reminder about the "major DLC" on the way to the 1 vs. 1,000 musuo early next year.
The Visions of the Four Heroes will add new stories and weapons when it arrives on 22nd January 2026 for $34.99 (or your regional equivalent) and pre-orders are now live on select platforms. This date lines up with the base game's launch on the Switch 2.
Here's some additional details, and you can check out the latest overview trailer above.
"Visions of Four Heroes features brand-new stories centered around four heroes whose stories were not explored in DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS: Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu. These stories are explored as “What If” scenarios and will allow players to discover new sides to these legendary heroes. New companions are also featured in the major DLC including Zhuhe, a Guardian of Peace; Diaochan, a beautiful warrior and a familiar fan favorite; and a mysterious new officer who will be revealed as the story unfolds.
"Fans will also be able to enjoy new weapons – the “Bow” and “Rope Dart” – to further enhance the exhilarating action of 1 vs. 1,000 warfare by leveraging each weapon’s unique characteristics on the battlefield. Existing weapons will also receive an update, granting new arts, skill panels, as well as an increase in the trait level cap. Finally, a new “Training Ground” mode will be included, where players battle formidable foes while practicing their skills."
And if you pre-order the DLC, for a "limited time" you will also receive an exclusive outfit for the protagonist (the "Yellow Turban Attire"). Below is some more information about this. There'll also be an early purchase bonus and a digital pre-order bonus for Switch 2 players.
"Designed to embody the heroic spirit of DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS, this costume lets players take to the battlefield clad in the symbolic garb of the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
