Apart from the massive battlefields, it appears that the series’ fans can expect the return of staple characters in Dynasty Warriors: Origins such as Guan Yu, who is still wielding his beloved Green Crescent Dragon, and Lu Bu, who is seen wielding the Sky Piercer atop his trusted warhorse, Red Hare.
