Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Developer Has “No Plans” for a Sequel “at This Stage”

However, Team Ninja would like to tell the story of the period that follows the one that Wo Long depicts – i.e. the Three Kingdoms era – "if the opportunity arises."

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty (6)

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty may not have enjoyed the sort of near-universal critical acclaim that developer Team Ninja’s Nioh titles did, but it was a successful enough game in its own right, with solid (if not spectacular) reviews and commercial performance to match, with over a million units sold as of April last year (and attracting 3.8 million players, courtesy of its day one Game Pass launch).

Given its success then, is Wo Long something that Team Ninja or Koei Tecmo intend to turn into a running franchise? For now, that doesn’t seem to be the plan. Speaking in an interview with TouchArcadeWo Long: Fallen Dynasty director and producer Masakazu Hirayama said that the developer currently has no plans to work on a sequel to the action title.

Interestingly, however, Hirayama did add that “if the opportunity arises”, he would be interested in developing a follow-up that focuses on the period in Chinese history that comes after Wo Long’s setting, which depicts the fall of the Han Dynasty. That, of course, is the Three Kingdoms era, which Hirayama says he would like to “depict with action and in a story” similar to Wo Long.

“We have no plans for a sequel at this stage, as our focus in fiscal 2023 was on the DLCs and updates,” he said when asked about a sequel. “On top of that, I feel that the historic period after the one set in Wo Long has its own unique attraction as the era of strategists, and we have a desire to depict it with action and in a story, so we’d like to take on this challenge if the opportunity arises.”

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty launched for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in March, and has received three paid expansions since then in the form of Battle of Zhongyuan, Conqueror of Jiangdong, and Upheaval in Jingxiang. The game has also seen a number of free updates and patches, as well as collaboration events with other games like Nioh 2, Bladepoint: Narakaand Lies of PA complete edition is due out today.

Meanwhile, developer Team Ninja’s next game, PlayStation 5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin, launches on March 22.
