Koei Tecmo, the renowned Japanese game developer and publisher, has officially announced a delay for Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered, the highly anticipated revival of the beloved hack-and-slash title.
The remastered edition, which had originally been slated for release on March 19, 2026, will not meet its intended launch date.
At this time, Koei Tecmo has not provided a revised release date, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates. Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is set to be the first full remaster in the Dynasty Warriors franchise, a series celebrated for its fast-paced action and epic battles inspired by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Originally released in 2001, Dynasty Warriors 3 played a pivotal role in popularizing the 'musou' genre.
Koei Tecmo’s decision to revisit this classic comes as part of a growing trend to reintroduce beloved games to new audiences, especially on modern hardware such as the Nintendo Switch. The announcement of the delay was delivered by producer Tomohiko Sho through Koei Tecmo’s official social media channels.

A new release date will be communicated once preparations are complete.
We appreciate the continued support and patience of our fans as we dedicate ourselves to delivering the best experience possible.” The delay comes as Koei Tecmo continues to build on its legacy of critically acclaimed titles and successful remasters.
Previous releases, such as the Atelier and Ninja Gaiden collections, have shown the developer’s dedication to high-quality updates for classic games on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.
