How Dynasty Warriors Origins Chapter 3 Branch Works
As announced at Tokyo Game Show 2024, Dynasty Warriors Origins has a story branch where the game's original protagonist will make an important decision to swear allegiance with one of the three factions that would eventually form the Three Kingdoms in Chinese history. After collaborating in united fronts against the Yellow Turbans in Chapter 1 and Dong Zhuo in Chapter 2, the story branch will finally appear in Chapter 3. Here's how the game will eventually lead the player to the branch. When you start Chapter 3 in Dynasty Warriors Origins, you will notice faction markers appearing at the top left corner of the world map screen. These markers indicate the number of battles for each side you can participate in before the game starts locking the routes. You can therefore travel all over the country and aid each faction in the allotted number of battles without any consequences.

It will lock out the player from factions with which they have not completed all of the pre-allocated stages. If you have completed the battles for the faction(s) you want to support, you may proceed ahead. The real story branch in Dynasty Warriors Origins will appear right after the above checkpoint. If you still retain access to both Liu Bei and Cao Cao's factions, a new stage will be set up for the Battle of Xu Province, which will pit both factions on the opposing sides. This is where you will have to make the ultimate decision. The faction you don't choose in this battle will be finally locked out for the rest of the story playthrough.

On the other hand, if you choose to side with Cao Cao at the Battle of Xu Province, you can also continue progressing through the Sun clan's route at the same time. If you're like me and finish both routes in the same playthrough, there will be a slight time-saving benefit later on. Dynasty Warriors Origins is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
