Dynasty Warriors Origins Lunar New Year update

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have released a Lunar New Year-themed update for Dynasty Warriors: Origins featuring the new Gold Hare horse. The Dynasty Warriors: Origins update is available now on all platforms, and players who made sufficient in-game progression can retrieve the Gold Hare horse immediately after installing the update.

Patch notes for the latest Dynasty Warriors: Origins update can be read below: 

    • Added the horse Gold Hare.
      • A letter will arrive at the protagonist’s base of operations once the horse feature is unlocked.
    • Fixed other minor bugs.

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force previously launched the “Visions of Four Heroes” DLC expansion for Dynasty Warriors: Origins on January 22 alongside the game’s Nintendo Switch 2 version. Dynasty Warriors: Origins Visions of Four Heroes adds new stories featuring the titular heroes, along with new allies, weapons, and much more. 

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Final Weapon’s 4/5 review of Dynasty Warriors: Origins notes that the game is “a great time, acting as an excellent entry point for newcomers and a treat for series veterans as well.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Dynasty Warriors: Origins runs at a stable 30 FPS. According to producer Tomohiko Sho, Dynasty Warriors: Origins could have reached 60 FPS on Switch 2, but it would have required a reduction of the number of overall soldiers on screen to “the same amount as prior Warriors series entries,” so the team opted for a stable 30 FPS instead.

Square Enix is holding a survey for account holders in Japan, which is focused entirely on remakes and remasters from the company. It features questions about what kind of games players would want to see be remade.

According to Stealth40k, the full list of questions in Square Enix’s new survey are as follows:

  • What Square Enix games would you like to see remade?

  • What’s important in purchasing a remake/remaster? (new story content, post game content, voice acting)

Last year, it released HD-2D remakes of Dragon Quest I, II, and III. Earlier this month, it also released a 3D remake of Dragon Quest VII, called Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. 

Square’s most beloved remakes as of late have been the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, which includes Remake, Rebirth, and the unreleased part 3.

ARMATUS demo

Fiction and Counterplay Games have announced that a limited-time demo for upcoming third-person roguelite shooter ARMATUS will be released on February 23 on PC via Steam. The ARMATUS demo will be available through March 2 as part of Steam Next Fest.

ARMATUS will release in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

ARMATUS is a third-person roguelite shooter set in the demon-infested ruins of Paris. As the last supernatural warrior of an ancient order, armed with powerful firearms and incredible celestial powers, scour the city in search of a lost gateway to heaven – the Sunless Gate.

HUMANITY’S TIME IS OVER

The world has ended. Demons overrun once busy streets as reality unravels. Collapse is inevitable. Sequestered behind holy wards, the last survivors believe themselves the only humans left alive. Their only hope is for you to carve a path through the chaos and find their salvation. But the broken pieces of Paris give way to increasingly demonic hellscapes inhabited by ever stronger and more grotesque monsters.

FIGHT. DIE. REPEAT.

Knowledge is a weapon, and death is never the end. Each run, wield your scythe and a gun of your choosing against brutal demons hellbent on your destruction. To overcome them, evolve your combat style with powerful celestial abilities and passive enhancements. Die and you will revive to fight again.

Fight, die, revive, and try again; Push forward to get farther each run and master your arsenal.

START STRONG, END GODLY

From the moment you step into the ruins, you are heavily armed and powerful. Yet you will keep gaining new powers until you have the tools to lay waste to your enemies. Find your favorite lethal combination of guns and powers, from SMGs and shotguns to holy fire and slow time, to truly obliterate everything standing in your way.

Will you grow strong enough to defeat the horrors of the Scoured Path?
