Fans of Dynasty Warriors can expect a focus on the story in Origins, but it won’t span the entirety of the Three Kingdoms saga. So, we’ll help you answer how many missions there are and how long Dynasty Warriors Origins takes to beat.
How Long to Beat Dynasty Warriors Origins
Dynasty Warrior Origins will take roughly 30 hours to complete for the average player on normal difficulty. However, if you play on higher difficulties, this can take much longer as you might have to grind some levels and complete side quests and optional objectives. Focusing only on the story lets you complete the game within 25 hours. Lastly, completionists can look forward to 50 hours of content with all the post-game content and Old Coin collection objectives.
