Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember

Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember is a dark fantasy action RPG from Team NINJA, published by Koei Tecmo. Steam lists it for March 4, 2027 at $69.99. It returns to China's Three Kingdoms period, where generals and demons share the battlefield.

How it plays

You fight with acrobatic Chinese martial arts that mix attack and defence. The first game was built on deflecting blows at the right instant, and this one continues that style across larger battlefields. Steam lists single player and co-op.

The good side

Team NINJA makes some of the tightest combat in action games. The Three Kingdoms is a setting many of our readers know and love, and the demons give it a twist. Co-op lets you bring a friend to hard fights. A firm date and price are set.

The watch-outs

The first Wo Long had serious technical problems on PC at launch, so wait for reports on how this one runs. PC requirements still read TBD. The price is $69.99. Controller support is listed only as partial on Steam. The game is hard by design.

For players in Asia

Simplified Chinese and Japanese have full audio alongside English. Korean and Traditional Chinese are supported in text.

NEXTARCA's take

We expect excellent fighting, because this team rarely misses there. Our caution is about the PC version. Let the first reviews confirm it runs well before you pay full price.
