It's been confirmed Team Ninja's new IP Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will also be releasing on PS5, PS4 in early 2023. The game, which looks a lot like the Nioh series, was announced yesterday for a day one Xbox Game Pass release and it's taken until now for publisher Koei Tecmo to reveal Sony platforms will also be treated to the game. That is at full price.
As Gematsu points out, the confirmation of PS5, PS4 releases comes from a page hosted on the Xbox press website, with Koei Tecmo itself yet to say anything on the matter. The press release is actually dated for tomorrow, suggesting the official unveiling was supposed to happen on Tuesday. Either way, we now know PS5 and PS4 players will get to play the next Team Ninja game too.
Development is being headed up by Bloodborne producer Masaaki Yamagiwa and Nioh producer Fumihiko Yasuda. "A dark fantasy set during the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, the narrative vividly tells the tale of a militia soldier’s strenuous fight for survival during a Later Han Dynasty infested with demons. It’s madness in the Three Kingdoms like never before!"

I hope it doesn't have the Nioh loot systems - other than that I'm interested
48hs Embargo until Multiplatform Games are announced for other Consoles? Sneaky sneaky Microsoft.
Was also the case for Scarlet Nexus in 2020
Bloodborne and Nioh producers working to make this game?
Yes please!
Give me Nioh 3 Kingdoms! Pump it directly into my veins!
Unlike @Voltan I want them to further expand the loot, give me more slots to fill to make my builds sing even louder!
Cool.another game to add on PlayStation consoles.word up son
Sounds awesome I'm definitely interested. Didn't know some former Bloodborne talent was involved so I'm even more pumped about it!
Now if we can just get some confirmation on Persona 3 and 4 on PS4/5 all will be right in the world!😄
I read the name as lo wang while skimming past the news and just assumed it was a shadow warrior spinoff 🤷🏼♂️
I'm interested, for sure but why was Phil Spencer acting like Xbox had a hand making this game? There's people who think the games a collab and likely a timed exclusive, lol.
@RavenWolfe81 I think they’re just emphasizing that it will be day one on GamePass, which to me is a great get.
@RavenWolfe81 He was clearly referring to the games being day 1 on XGP, but it has the same effect as people swearing that SF6 and RE4 R were PS5 exclusives, at least with Microsoft you know that if there's no " Console Launch Exclusive" or "Xbox Console Exclusive" It is not exclusive, unlike Sony that likes pretend everything is exclusive and leave it to the publishers to clarify hours or sometimes days after the reveal.
Wait what? I was looking for news on this game almost everyday. Hell yeah! Didn't even know it had a title let alone that it was announced.
Let's make a new ip, but have it look like our previous ip. Why ???
Regardless, I'm glad I get to play it.
Dynasty Warriors meet Nioh. Yes please
Any game that didn't have the xbox studios logo before the trailer is coming to ps,I dont know why this is such a suprise,regardless of whether it said game pass or console launch exclusive
I'm kinda sad that a Team Ninja 3 Kingdoms game will play like Ni-Oh I'm not really into it I tried it and just didn't care for it I much prefer Ninja Gaiden style games
This is the one thing from the showcase I was truly intrigued about.
@Voltan I'm going to be devil's advocate. I loved that system. Sets it from it's clear inspiration in Dark Souls. Plus I loved you could trans mog a piece of equipment and play fashion souls without needing to give up the stats.
Need more of these samurai *****. Great!
edit: Oh it's Chinese. Nice!!
Good, I'm 100% in.
Best game of the show for me - not into space - so reading it's coming is nice. I thought it looked a lot like an updated Genji (first 1, not crab sequel) w/ the Onimusha demons, so the best f both worlds. If they're making it as a "git gud" game though w/o difficulty opt count me out. Maybe I'll watch my kid play.
Was genuinely afraid this would be exclusive so I'm glad it's not. It looks amazing
I'm at work so I couldn't watch the trailer before. Holy sh#t now I'm super hyped! We'll get to fight Yellow Turbans and Lu Bu? Yeeeees.
Looks class; this one wo(n't be) long til we see gameplay I hope
@RavenWolfe81 For same reason why Sony pretends to have a hand with development of Hogwarts Legacy, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II etc.
To have that game "tied" to your console in marketing sense. Which Xbox did, because game is also in GP and it being available on PS is burried deep.
Awesome news imo, one less game to tempt me into buying a Series X or gaming PC.
@IonMagi Pretty much! I won't be surprised if a few more games are updated to say they're coming to PS5 by end of the week.
Xbox classification of what are actual exclusives on these shows can be confusing to say the least.
The fact that this game is on gamepass is a huge ++, Nioh was a fun but challenging game.
I just hope this isn't another nioh. Let it be closer to ninja gaiden or something different. I don't mind a few similarities but I just don't want yet another nioh type game. At least drop the loot system. Kinda weird that they said they were done with nioh but make 2 games which are basically just that 😅
I'm still buying this regardless
@MaikonCSGarcia yea I get what you mean, I suppose since the game is on Gamepass perhaps Phil sees as something they helped fund or greenlight when they paid to get it on the service. Maybe like Sony did with the crash remaster. Maybe that is what he meant.
@Voltan I read somewhere today that it won't. It'll be more basic and simple and not open world.
