One of the most anticipated titles for 2023 is still on everyone’s lips after its release date was revealed. Since then, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty has been the next and most anticipated Souls-like episode for fans of the genre. But there is always the question of how long it can last, and whether it will be an experience for all players or, on the contrary, it will have its niche component like Elden Ring.
In an interview with Xbox Dynasty, the game’s director, Masakazu Hirayama, commented on several things related to the accessibility and duration of the game. duration is a fear for most casual gamers as it tends to skyrocket with difficulty.
“Estimated reading time will be forty hours“says the director. “There are also side quests and ending content,” Masakazu Hirayama continues, “so if you focus on that, obviously the forty hours will be over. You can use these challenges to learn the attack patterns of your opponent, such as parrying and blocking, and the game in general. You can also play online with a friend, to make the game more accessible thanks to the group features

As happened with Elden Ring, the issue of length and difficulty was an absolute roadblock for many players, so From Software needed to make the measurements accessible to everyone. In this case, Team Ninja will also add anointings that will allow casual players to progress without complications. Things like being able to invite friends and something like summoning NPCs to support you in battle.
You can also recruit NPCs to help you. For example, famous Chinese military commanders, the Warlords, will be able to fight alongside you, so there’s more than one option for new players to tailor the game to their style.
Wo Long Fallen Dynasty will arrive on March 3, 2023 on Xbox Game Pass.
