DWO DLC speculation theory (take with grains of salt)
The new playables seem to be made so that each new route has a companion
Zhang Jiao route - Zhuhe
Dong Zhuo route - Diaochan
Lu Bu route - Lu Bu (playable since base game)
Yuan Shao route - The mystery character

Playable Zhuhe wielding a Sword in Dynasty Warriors Origins DLC

Playable Diaochan with Ziluan in Dynasty Warriors Origins DLC

It's almost time for a new State of Play today. Since it's mostly said to be Japan-focused, I'll livetweet this in English.
