“A dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty”
Today during the Microsoft 2022 showcase, we got to see a reveal forTeam Ninja’slatest action romp:Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
It’s described as a “dramatic, action-packed story of a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty where demons plague the Three Kingdoms.” Quite a mouthful! Even if this ends up being “Three KingdomsNioh,” I’m so here for it.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer says it was “exciting to work with Team Ninja” for this collaboration. It’s been exciting to see Team Ninja rise to the occasion in recent years, myself! Following quite a few fumbles, most notablyYaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, one of their lowest points, they knocked it out of the park withNiohjust three years later. After that they continued to assist in variousWarriorsgames, and gave usNioh 2, as well asUltimate Alliance 3.The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collectionreminded us of their storied history, andStranger of Paradise, while polarizing, was interesting from an action perspective.
Now we haveWo Long: Fallen Dynastynext year. It’s out in early 2023 on PC, Xbox consoles, and cloud devices.
