While it does sound a bit like sacrilege that another development studio outside of Omega Force is making games for Koei Tecmo around the Three Kingdoms, that is just what Team Ninja are doing, with development on Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty underway. For those keen to sample this new “masocore epic”, you need wait no longer if you are quick enough, with a demo now available on the PlayStation 5 (via PlayStation Store) and Xbox Series X|S (via Xbox Marketplace) as a free download. The catch is that this is a limited-time demo, and will only be available until 26 September 2022 at 6.59am UTC. This limit is both on download and the game itself.
According to Koei Tecmo…
The action-packed demo features a glimpse inside a dark Three Kingdoms world gone mad and the chaotic struggle to save a once beloved land now infested by demons. Featuring swordplay ripped from the Chinese martial arts, the demo showcases the strategies and swiftness of battle, while also giving gamers a taste of online multiplayer, the character creator, and in-game abilities including vertical exploration and the importance of morale. As a bonus, anyone who clears the demo will earn the special item “Crouching Dragon Helmet”, which can be equipped and used in the main game upon release. A survey will also be made available via the demo in order to collect player feedback and help in the further development of the game. Those who participate in the survey will receive an original wallpaper.
Don’t have the time to download or play the demo during this period? You can get another sneak peek through this 5-minute ‘Gameplay Tips’ video shared by Team NINJA Studio to coincide with the demo’s release.
Developed by Team NINJA and published by Koei Tecmo Games, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is scheduled to release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC platforms in Early 2023.
