Okay, so Koei Tecmo just dropped a new update for Dynasty Warriors: Origins on my Switch! It’s version 1.0.6, and it’s awesome – they finally added a photo mode, which I’ve been waiting for! Plus, there’s a brand new weapon and some fresh armor to check out. Time to get back in there and start taking some epic screenshots!

This update includes features and content that were previously released for the PS5, Xbox, and PC versions of the game. See the patch notes below for a detailed list of changes.
