A
bit
like
the
bodycount
in
the
game
itself,
Dynasty
Warriors:
Origins
has
surpassed
the
1
million
mark,
although
in
this
case
it’s
1
million
copies
sold
rather
than
a
million
bodies
littering
the
ground.

Admittedly,
we
can’t
know
if
Koei
Tecmo
considers
this
a
success
as
we
don’t
know
their
expectations.
However,
the
series
has
never
been
a
massive
seller
and
by
its
standards,
1
million
copies
is
pretty
substantial.
For
example,
Dynasty
Warriors
9,
released
in
2018,
sold
around
800,000
copies,
although
it’s
hard
to
find
solid
sales
figures.

Earlier
this
year
we
also
learned
from
Koei
Tecmo
that
the
Dynasty
Warriors
series
as
a
whole
had
surpassed
21
million
copies
sold.

Tomohiko
Sho,
the
head
of
developer
Omega
Force,
took
to
X
to
thank
fans
for
the
success.
The
following
is
translated
using
Google
translate:
“We’ve
surpassed
the
one
million
mark,
and
I’m
very
happy
that
so
many
people
have
been
able
to
enjoy
‘Dynasty
Warriors
ORIGINS’!”
he
exclaimed
in
a
tweet.
“As
an
individual,
I
hope
that
this
game
will
be
enjoyed
by
even
more
game
fans,
and
that
it
will
lead
to
the
creation
of
DLC,
sequels,
and
more
in
the
future.”

Quite
a
bit
of
the
game’s
popularity
seems
to
have
been
on
PC.

A
quick
look
at
SteamDB
shows
that
Origins
had
just
under
70,000
people
playing
concurrently
at
one
point.
And
as
I
write
this,
it
had
a
peak
concurrent
player
count
of
22,000
in
the
last
24
hours,
an
impressive
number
consider
it
came
out
a
month
ago.

The
user
reviews
are
glowing,
too.
It’s
currently
got
92%
positive
reviews,
giving
it
a
“Very
Positive”
rating
from
over
10,500
reviews.
Not
bad.

you

like
