According to Hirayama, the estimated length of the game for the main story of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is around 40 hours. “Estimated gameplay is 40 hours of gameplay just for the main story! There’s also side missions and endgame content; if you focus on that, the 40 hours will, of course, be well exceeded,” as stated by Hirayama himself in a recent interview.

The 40 hours long is quite a decent amount for an action-adventure game, in our opinion. This time is also to be expected since the previous releases of Team Ninja’s Nioh titles had similar play times.  Well, the great news is the availability of side quests and exploration apart from the main storyline. The extra quests and missions would stretch the gameplay to 50+ hours easily. This is great news for gamers who love to delve deep into the game’s world and explore all that it has to offer.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the latest launch from Team Ninja and will be available on consoles and PC from this coming march. Hirayama mentioned that the game is designed to be fun and enjoyable for casual gamers, with various challenges presented throughout the game. These challenges can help players learn enemy attack patterns, parries, blocks, and the game’s mechanics in general.

Main Story

The main storyline follows an unnamed militia member who discovers a conspiracy involving a powerful elixir with enigmatic abilities. Throughout their journey, the soldier battles various demons and monsters, as well as renowned historical figures such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, who are skilled in warfare.

Based on the comments by Fumihiko Yashuda in an interview, the main story seems exhilarating. “It is based on Chinese mythology. We’ve taken historical individuals and anecdotes and restructured them in a way that is unique to this game, as well as depicting the story and world that mixes truth and falsehoods, which is something we are aiming for and have carried over from our experience with the Nioh series,” Wo Long: Fallen dynasty is definitely a game to look forward to.

Co-Op Gameplay

Similar to Nioh 2, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will feature co-op gameplay with real players or NPC recruits. Hirayama emphasized that the co-op gameplay makes the game more accessible and enjoyable, especially when playing with friends. “You can also play online with a friend, so you’re playing in a group to make it a little more accessible. You can also recruit NPC characters to help you,” Hirayama stated in an interview.

Post-Launch Expansions

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is set to release on March 3, 2023, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game is also available for pre-order and is expected to receive post-launch expansions. You can purchase the season pass to receive all DLCs for free, which is a great way to keep the game fresh and exciting even after completing the main story. This will extend the length to beat the game.
