Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is shaping up to be a more-than-competent Soulslike. Developer Team Ninja is no stranger to the genre at this point, having gotten plenty of practice at sadistic game design while developing the Nioh franchise. Proof of their prowess can be found in the above trailer, which boasts 17 minutes of fresh, high-level gameplay, courtesy of IGN's First initiative.
While Nioh took place in a fantastical version of feudal Japan, Wo Long depicts a demon-infested Han-era China. Anyone familiar with the Dynasty Warriors series will likely see a few familiar faces here, some more welcome than others. Lu Bu serves as the climactic boss encounter of this stage, and he is as fearsome here as he is in any other piece of Romance of the Three Kingdoms-related media. He even starts the battle mounted on Red Hare, which is pretty awesome.
If you are finding the wait until Wo Long's launch hard to bear (releasing on 3rd March. on PS5 and PS4), then be sure to check out this epic story trailer to set the stage, or this other boss encounter, featuring the monstrous Aoye. Are you looking forward to the release of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty? Let us know in the comments section below.

Pre-ordered and ready to confront the challenge this game will have. I went with the digital deluxe edition, which includes the season pass.
I will be playing it on the PS4, however, since I am yet to be an owner of the PS5. Maybe this year I can finally remedy that fact.
@Eadgar yeah i have it on the must have list as it's looking better every time i see a new trailer. Hope you get a ps5 bud as they are really good and i had a lot of fun replaying a lot of games that were pro enhanced and if you already have a ps4 pro then you have a whole lot more fun ahead of you..some people will tell you otherwise so ignore them..
I will give it a go on Gamepass as im not sure its my type of game
Lu Bu. Lu Bu never changes.
Cannot wait for this. Playing Dynasty Warriors 9 Empire right now. I do love later Han/Three Kingdoms media.
I just finished GoT and after watching the video, Wo Long seems a bit slow and clunky.
Will try it when it comes to Ps Extra tho hehe
Lu Bu is doin’ the do
Those animations are fantastic. You can tell Team Ninja's resources were secretly spent on this when making Stranger of Paradise
It’s a shame there is no steel book with the season pass available. I had such for Nioh 2 pre ordered and not sure what should I do now…
Well, my technique was always to run in and get as good many a whacks at him as I possibly could, before retreating and scouring the corners of the map for some steamed buns. Rinse and repeat. Then when you're health inevitably drops to the red, just ride it out and hit him with multiple musou moves at every opportunity, whilst hoping not to be slayed with a single, unexpected lunge of his halberd. Oh yes, that's the only strategy that works to take down that guy...
Am a bit concerned enemy detection. Some of them seem completely oblivious as to the utter chaos within ear shot and sight line
Whenever I see the title of this game it always reminds me of the film 'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar'
Cant wait for this game.wo long fallen dynasty looks amazing.word up son
This will most likely be the first game I buy in 2023. Nioh II is excellent and this looks to be shaping up wonderfully. I love how fast paced this is.
I’m so down for this one guys!! Absolutely loved Nioh, Demons souls, bloodborne etc. this looks a quality title.
I'll wait for this to be $20 New or cheaper, I'm terrible at challenging games like these where you're guaranteed to die alot.
ill give this ago on my new rtx 4080
Looks very distinctly ps4 gen material to me …
