Are you ready for an intense and action-packed gaming experience? Look no further than Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, the latest dark fantasy epic from Team Ninja, the developers behind the beloved Nioh series. Published by Koei Tecmo, Wo Long is set to be released on March 3, 2023, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. And the best part? It will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch, so you can jump right into the action.

But what can players expect from Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty? Set during the Three Kingdoms period of China, players will take on the role of a nameless militia soldier as they rise from obscurity to become a hero. Along the way, you'll encounter iconic figures from this historical time period, such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liang, and the imposing Lu Bu. But don't be fooled by the historical setting - this is a game filled with supernatural enemies and high-speed action.

The combat system in Wo Long is based on Chinese martial arts, and players will have the opportunity to choose a "Phase" or class for their character. From there, you'll have access to a variety of abilities and weapons, including glaives, dual swords, and wizardry spells themed around elements like fire, ice, and lightning. By raising your "Morale Ranks," you'll even be able to unlock even stronger spells. And let's not forget about the Divine Beasts - these powerful creatures can be summoned to fight alongside you in battle.

But Wo Long isn't just about fighting your way through enemy after enemy. The game features an open-world structure, with various regions to explore and each offering its own dangers and challenges. And like other games in the Souls-like genre, Wo Long is expected to be a difficult experience. Players will need to learn enemy attack patterns and use various strategies to emerge victorious.
