Crouching Dragon: Fallen Dynasty A final demo will be available before the March release, giving you the chance to try it out for yourself.
Wolong’s official Twitter account shared yesterday (Feb. 5) that a demo of the action RPG will be released on Feb. 24. You’ll be able to play on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. “Saving data from this demo will transfer to the final game,” a tweet announcing the demo explained. “Complete the trial to get the ‘Crouching Dragon Helmet’ DLC in the full game.”
The last time the game received a demo, it was only available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, which is a great opportunity for every one who hasn’t made the jump to the next generation to try out Team Ninja’s latest creation. It’s also nice to see Team Ninja follow the recent save data trend into the main game, and it’s nice to know you don’t have to repeat the first two chapters (as stated in the press release) just because. Online multiplayer is also available to try out in the demo.
The full version of Crouching Dragon: Fallen Dynasty will be available on all mentioned platforms on March 3, so you only have to wait a week to try out the demo and play the full version. If you do try it, one thing you shouldn’t expect is the ability to choose a difficulty, as there aren’t any difficulty options to be found. That’s not particularly surprising considering it’s Nioh’s successor, so it falls into the vague Soulsian category, which most of the time just means “difficult”.
There may not be any difficult options, but so far, it hopes to be accessible in a similar way to Elden Ring through its design, and maybe even easier to access.
