In 2015, Omega Force released Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below, which put the Dynasty Warriors spin on the popular Dragon Quest series. While it did not share the name of Nintendo’s Warriors franchise, it was a Warriors game through and through. If Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, and Legend of Zelda can all experiment in the hack-and-slash genre, then so can other franchises.

Elder Scrolls Warriors

As the wait for Elder Scrolls 6 feels endless, creating a spin-off title set in the world of Elder Scrolls would be a great way to tie people over. Elder Scrolls is no stranger to spin-off titles, as seen with The Elder Scrolls: Blades, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, and The Elder Scrolls Online. Each of those titles takes the Elder Scrolls brand and introduces it to a new genre, and a Warriors game would do the same. A large portion of every Elder Scrolls game is conflict, and the overarching story is filled with massive wars. The Dynasty Warriors franchise is all about war and conflict, which could be seamlessly integrated into Tamriel. The game could be set during one of the many titles in the series or tell a brand-new story in the world - the possibilities are endless.

Warcraft Warriors

Warcraft is one of the largest PC franchises, with World of Warcraft dominating the MMO genre. War is the name of the game here, as the series features conflicts that have spanned multiple worlds. A Dynasty Warriors game could put players in the shoes of one of many iconic characters, like Thrall or Arthas, and have them participate in events that changed the course of Azeroth. The series has already made the leap from RTS to MMO, and even includes a card game better known as Hearthstone, so making the leap to hack-and-slash would not be too far-fetched. A Warcraft Warriors game could help expand upon the lore of Warcraft, introduce new characters, and set up future conflicts. It would also provide players who may be put off by the online nature of World of Warcraft with a way to play in Azeroth alone.

Final Fantasy Warriors

Dynasty Warriors has already put a spin on the Dragon Quest series, making Final Fantasy the obvious next step. Final Fantasy is filled with iconic characters that wield legendary weapons, so bringing those characters into massive battles and allowing them to utilize their arsenal would provide fans with hours of fun. Each Final Fantasy title is disconnected from the last, and a Warriors game would follow that trend. It could bring in all the best characters from Final Fantasy into one large scale hack-and-slash experience. Cloud could fight next to Lightning, Noctis could battle Balthier, and Celes Chere could duke it out alongside Squall Leonhart, There are so many possible crossovers that a Final Fantasy Warriors game could deliver, and gamers would surely love the fan service.

RWBY Warriors

In 2013, Rooster Teeth created its own original animated series called RWBY, which brought viewers to the World of Remnant as teams of colorful characters fought back against the evils of the Grimm. Each of the characters wields unique weapons and have their own unique abilities; Ruby uses a Scythe and can move fast, Yang has fist shotguns and gets more powerful each hit she takes, Blake uses pistols with knives and can create clones of herself, and Weiss uses a sword that can conjure giant creatures. The series experimented with games with RWBY: Grimm Eclipse, which was a hack-and-slash title, and some characters also made an appearance in BlazeBlue: Cross Tag Battle. The World of Remnant is a perfect location for a Warriors title, as the characters were built for it and the Grimm would make perfect antagonists.

Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra Warriors

While Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra have become cult classic animated shows, the series has always struggled to break into the video game market. Both Aang and Korra got games, but they were never received great and the Legend of Korra game cannot be purchased anymore. The ability to bend elements could be a lot of fun in a Warriors type game. Playing as one of the many Avatars or the Avatar’s friends to throw elements at adversaries would surely bring joy to many fans of the series. As Netflix works on a live action series and Avatar Studios works on expanding the world of Avatar, an Avatar Warriors game simply makes sense.

There are so many franchises that would lend themselves well to the Dynasty Warriors formula. With Nintendo showing that it can have success bringing its iconic series to the hack-and-slash genre, maybe it is time for other franchises to try it out. The worst that could happen is that the game is not received well, but it could also become what fans of the franchise have desperately wanted.
