Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team NINJA released a new interview video at Tokyo Game Show 2022 revealing action details and the concept for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, emphasizing the fluidity and speed of Chinese martial arts in action. The interview video is joined by Fumihiko Yasuda (Nioh Franchise Director) and Masaaki Yamagiwa (Bloodborne Producer) to discuss the latest ‘masocore’ action RPG.
About the Game as shared on Steam:
184 AD, Later Han Dynasty China. The land is overcome by chaos and destruction. The imperial dynasty that prospered for many years is now about to collapse.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is 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. Players fight off deadly creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay based on the Chinese martial arts, attempting to overcome the odds by awakening the true power from within.
Wo Long refers to a crouching dragon, and also refers to a hero or person of greatness who is not yet known. This is the story of officers, who will later become heroes, during their ‘unknown’ period, and also the story of a protagonist’s rise from being a ‘nobody’.
From the depths of darkness, a dragon soars.
