Update []: The promised demo for upcoming action title Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available to download now on PS5. Just head over to the demo section of the PS Store — or the game's main page — and the option should be there. The demo weighs in at around 18GB.
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.

And yes, you can pursue Lu Bu.
Will you be trying the Dynasty Warriors: Origins demo? (161 votes)
- Yes, I'm definitely playing it
- No, I'm not interested
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.

Ooo good news! I’m well keen for some more Dynasty Warriors after that mess they released with 9
Whoa, that's pretty early. I'm absolutely looking forward to it.
"Enhanced on PS5 Pro" and when can we expect such an enhancement? Maybe 6 months after release?
Looking forward to trying this out.
A good demo is always good to gain interest and aleviate performance fears from so many enemies on screen (well as long as there arent major problems of course).
While this game is only half the timeline the series had been in I'm liking what there doing especially with a smaller cast and focusing on the story
That awesome, really can't wait and it be on after the day of my birthday!
Super excited for this! Used to play Dynasty Warriors on PS3 into the wee hours of the morning with my friends back in high school. Took a break from the series for a while but eager to dive back in.
If you voted no, you are doing it wrong...
@DennisReynolds
Silent hill 2 remake just got an update.
A few things and fixed the PS5 Pro enhanced update from earlier.
@Danloki
Yep the developers are getting there now
Especially considering Pro just launched.
I love this series. Even 9. Will give it a try.
Absolute beautiful on PS5 Pro with a solid 60 or 120 fps. Feels great, UI look like 480p though. Seems like a return to form.
Really impressed with what I played.
@Michael2008ish Very much so, depending on the set difficulty!
Yeah, I am sure it is "Enhanced" on Pro....lol
This series is weird like how Sonic is. If you want to know the good releases in the series, don't ask a fan, lol.
@OldGamer999 Yeah i saw 😁
Man, this thing is INCREDIBLE on PS5 Pro!!!
I have a ps5 pro and I wasn't blown away by the demo. This was also with minimal expectations going in and being a vet with Dynasty Warriors 2 thru 5.
