During the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja revealed Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, the upcoming sequel to the underrated Soulslike Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Released in 2023, Fallen Dynasty is a hack-and-slash action RPG set in second-century China during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now fans of the first game will be able to jump back into the war-torn Three Kingdoms era with Wo Long 2.
When it launched in 2023, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty received generally positive reviews across the board, though some players did call out its initial poor performance on PC. The game's enemy and boss design was praised, however, as was the music. Fans were mixed on the linear level design, with some appreciating its similarity to Nioh, another Team Ninja-developed title, while others wished for more open exploration. And Fallen Dynasty's gameplay was praised overall, by critics and players alike. Despite this, the gameplay fell under the radar for many Soulslike fans, perhaps distracted by other titles in the genre that released the same year.
