Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have published technical specifications for Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered on Nintendo Switch 2, clarifying performance and display targets ahead of the game's October 1, 2026 release.
The remaster, built in Unreal Engine 5, brings the foundational Dynasty Warriors 3 and its Xtreme Legends expansion to Nintendo's next-generation handheld-console hybrid.
Technical performance and display
Omega Force producer Tomohiko Sho told Nintendo Everything that the development team optimized the Switch 2 build to preserve the series' large on-screen battles while targeting a variable frame rate between 30 and 60 frames per second.
In journalistic terms, Sho explained that the team adjusted the engine and spawning systems so the Switch 2 version can handle the same number of characters as other platforms while operating at a dynamic 30–60 FPS range.
On resolution, Koei Tecmo confirmed the game outputs at 2560×1440 when played in docked mode on Nintendo Switch 2.
In handheld mode the image is presented as an upscaled 1920×1080 frame.
Sho additionally said the studio is evaluating the potential addition of selectable graphics-priority or performance-priority modes in a future update, indicating they may offer toggleable visual or framerate presets post-launch.
About the remaster and legacy content
Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered compiles the original Dynasty Warriors 3 and the Xtreme Legends expansion, recreating more than 40 playable officers and multiple battlefields.
The original Dynasty Warriors 3 introduced series staples such as True Musou Attacks, two-player simultaneous play, and an officer development system; it was also the first title in the franchise to surpass one million copies sold.
The Xtreme Legends expansion added new officer stories for seven characters, bodyguard customization, additional weapons, and four challenge mode types.

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 1, 2026.
