In Dynasty Warriors Origins you play as the Wanderer who plays a key part in an era that marks the fall of the Han Dynasty in China. You take part in various battles and make decisions that shape the political future of the kingdom.
While the campaign might seem linear at first, after a particular point in the story your decisions will lead you down a particular route. This gives the RPG multiple endings, and the one you unlock will depend on the factions you side with.
If you are curious about how it takes to beat the game, and the total number of missions that are available, then the guide below will help you out.
How long does it take to beat Dynasty Warriors Origins
Playing Dynasty Warriors Origins on Wayfarer difficulty will take you somewhere between 25-to-30 hours to beat the campaign. If you are trying out a few side quests, while still focusing more on the campaign then the playtime will roughly be around 35 hours.
However, if you are looking for a completionist run where you unlock every single trophy and achievement then the playtime will be around 60 hours. To get the Platinum trophy you will need to complete every single side content along with maxing your bond level with every officer. This will take a lot of time to achieve.
Moreover, a higher difficult setting will also make the playtime go up. If you are on Hero difficulty, you might be failing quite a bit because of just how much more powerful and aggressive enemies get.

However, from Chapter 3, you will start to make some pivotal decisions. You will need to complete a certain number of missions for the Cao, Liu, and Sun factions to reach a certain threshold. Failing wich will lock you out of joining that faction after a particular point in the narrative.
