With Team Ninja tapping into Koei Tecmo's expertise on the Three Kingdoms narrative and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel by Luo Guanzhong, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will focus on the years of the Yellow Turban Rebellion leading to the fall of the Han Dynasty, which kickstarts the beginning of the Three Kingdoms Era.


Similarly to Nioh and true to Team Ninja form, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty blends together real-life historical events and locations with fictional dark fantasy and supernatural elements centered around local mythologies and ancient folklore. In this retelling of historical tales, players will take on the role of the nameless protagonist who must carve a path through war-torn battlefields, fending off demon hordes and a host of other evil creatures infesting the Three Kingdoms. Played from a third person perspective, it features fast-paced, punishing melee combat that demands skill, strategy and mastery of various gameplay mechanics, as well as learning enemy behavior patterns and how best to counter them. At its core, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a highly challenging masocore game in the same vein as Dark Souls by FromSoftware or more accurately, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
