Game News Wo Long Fallen Dynasty: The creators of Souls-Like Nioh unveil a new license for Xbox!
Published on 06/12/2022 at 23:29
Team Ninja, the developers behind the excellent Souls-Like Nioh license, have just shared a trailer presenting their new license. Called Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, the studio abandons Japan and sends us to China. Note also that this new software is produced by the producer of Bloodborne.
Team Ninja’s new game
Team Ninja poked heads at the Xbox and Bethesda conference to showcase their new game. Titled Wo Long: Fallen Dynastythis still unpublished license seems to share many similarities with the studio’s previous software, the excellent Nioh. Rather than sending us to Japan, this time Team Ninja opts for the Middle Empire and sets the scene in the heart of feudal China.
Towards a new Souls-Like?
For the moment, we do not know exactly the genre of this new game. The fighting style, focused on the sword, should be greatly inspired by Chinese martial arts. The short trailer shared by Team Ninja allows us to learn more regarding the universe of the game, which will oppose us as much to men as to fierce demons from Chinese folklore. When you see these images, you can’t help but think of Nioh, Team Ninja’s previous license.
A more equivocal relationship when you know the names attached to this project: Fumihiko Yasuda and Masaaki Yamagiwa. The two men respectively produced Nioh and Bloodborne. It is therefore easy to imagine that this new license is in the same vein. To discover Wo Long, you will have to wait until early 2023. The game will be released on PC and Xbox, and will be available in the Game Pass as soon as it is released.

No E3 this year, but we can still count on another world-class event: the Summer Game Fest, a big show dedicated to announcements of video games to come this year or the following years. It was in 2020 that journalist and host Geoff Keighley launched this now unmissable festival for the first time. Last year, the show featured stunning images from Elden Ring; so inevitably, the third iteration raises high expectations.
