Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is certainly among 2023’s most anticipated titles. Developer Team Ninja has certainly been flexing their muscle in recent years developing a host of games that arguably stand toe-to-toe with the best that Soulsborne sub-genre creators and masters FromSoftware have developed, and now we’ve received a new look at their newest work, courtesy of a new “Action Trailer.”
The new footage from the action-RPG depicts boss fights against especially violent Boars, Alligators, and Apes. None seem overly kind of keen to cut you some slack on your adventure, so get ready for a world of hurt being unleashed upon you. The game also shows off Lu Bu, and Guan Yu, heroes of the Three Kingdoms era joining the fray.
At the same time as the trailer debuted the game’s Steam page sprung to life, sharing some further information about the game’s post-launch DLC, via a Season Pass, with DLC 1: “Battle of Zhongyuan” scheduled for release in June 2023, DLC 2: “Conqueror of Jiangdong” scheduled for release in September 2023, and DLC 3 “Upheaval in Jingxiang” scheduled for release in December 2023.
