This follows last month’s 1.08 update which introduced a new mission, “Crouching Dragons’ Battle Royale” as well as some welcome quality of life improvements such as being able to access the Blacksmith via the travel menu.
Later this month, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja plan to release the Battle of Zhongyuan DLC. This is the first of 3 expansions, all included in Wo Long’s season pass or available to buy separately.

Developed by the esteemed Team Ninja, known for their outstanding Nioh series, Wo Long garnered attention from fans eagerly seeking the next great addition to the Soulslike genre. What is particularly of interest to fans is the involevment of Masaaki Yamagiwa, the producer of Bloodborne whose presence is felt in Wo Long design.
The game’s combat system further shines with its refined parry mechanics, empowering players to deflect incoming attacks with precision and finesse. Expertly timed parries not only neutralize enemy strikes but can also disrupt unguardable Critical Blows, providing a strategic advantage against formidable foes. This high-stakes risk-reward dynamic adds depth and excitement to each encounter.
Beyond its combat prowess, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty also features a captivating storyline set in the Three Kingdoms era that will be familiar to fans of Koei’s Dynasty Warriors franchise. Players are immersed in a world teeming with recognizable characters and a fresh twist, adding an extra layer of intrigue to their journey. Accompanied by a dynamic morale system and the option for cooperative play, the game offers a captivating and challenging take on the genre that looks set to grow with 3 expansions in the pipeline.
