Even Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which was only released in March, didn’t necessarily have a problem-free start, but the title on Steam was still a success. Now Koei Tecmo announces the achievement of a new sales milestone.
Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja should be happy with the start of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, at least commercially, although that may not necessarily apply to the bumpy start and unsatisfactory state of the PC version. Nevertheless, the game made for the most successful launch on Steam for a team ninja title right from the start – and this can now be backed up by new numbers.
It was announced today that the action role-playing game has meanwhile sold over a million copies worldwide. These are total digital and physical sales worldwide for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam, Windows).
The brand is quite remarkable when you consider that many players also jumped in via Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, i.e. received access to the full version as part of the subscription at launch without having to buy it separately. If you include these gamers, then according to official figures, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty now has over 3.8 million players.
Set in the later Han Dynasty, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty depicts a version of the Three Kingdoms ravaged by chaos and destruction. With an imperial dynasty on the brink of collapse, it rests in the hands of a nameless militiaman to emerge victorious from these harsh battles. In the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms, you will not only encounter countless demons, but also some of history’s most powerful and fearsome warriors, such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
After initial PC problems and negative reviews, the makers have since pushed updates and made improvements. In the coming months there will be a number of DLC packs in addition to free updates. “Battle of Zhongyuan” is expected to be released in June, with two more to come later this year.
The trailer summarizes some press reviews of the action RPG Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
