Just to reiterate our original article, the demo is built around the huge Battle of Shisui Gate, which offers up a full-on castle siege, complete with varied objectives and boss fights. It'll hopefully give us a good idea of what Origins' revamped combat system is all about.

Original Story: Koei Tecmo has revealed that a playable demo for Dynasty Warriors: Origins will drop this week, on the 22nd November. The action title promises impressively vast — and incredibly busy — battlefields, leveraging the power of current-gen hardware to deliver a serious spectacle. The demo should be very interesting from a technical perspective.
It should also be worth trying from a gameplay perspective. Origins is shaking up the Dynasty Warriors formula quite a bit, putting the focus on a nameless lead character, who'll be your vessel for this Three Kingdoms adventure. Veteran fans of the franchise will no doubt want to put the revamped combat system to the test.
The demo will consist of the massive Battle of Sishui Gate — a stage that was previously playable at Tokyo Game Show. However, Koei Tecmo says that this demo version has been expanded, and that there's no time limit attached, unlike in the aforementioned public build.
What's more, the demo will be "enhanced" on PS5 Pro, much like the full release is meant to be.
