Producer Masaki Yamagiwa is looking to divulge some more information about the game, especially how certain enemies work. Speaking in a recent interview with NextGen Player during TGS, Yamagiwa stated that there will be PvP inWo Long: Fallen Dynasty. PvP was available in theNiohgames, but fans found it to be somewhat of a lukewarm experience. However, it seems thatWo Longwill change the way PvP works. There will be invasions similar to From Software’s games, as well as an interesting mechanic revolving around enemies being able to spawn in NPC allies or other players.
This won’t result in one-on-one duels necessarily, as players can choose simply to take on the “big enemy,” as Yamagiwa describes it, in order to get rid of every threat. However, this certainly marks an interesting way for players to engage in PvP inWo Long: Fallen Dynasty, while also showing how the upcoming Soulslike has borrowed a mechanic from FromSoftware’s iconic franchise. Some NPCs and enemies inDemon’s SoulsandDark Souls 2were able to summon players to attack the host. InElden Ringthis feature returned through the Fia’s Championsboss fight and the warriors summoned by the Great Jar in Caelid.
For those fearing that every enemy they run into inWo Long: Fallen Dynastywill summon an army of other NPCs and players, it seems that these foes will be limited to certain areas. Even with their limited appearances, these enemies are likely to provide a unique challenge for the player. Alongside talking about new enemies, Yamagiwa also discussedhow long players should take to beatWo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynastywill be released in early 2023 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
