Level playing field for all: hardcore action-RPG Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty won't have difficulty selection

Developers from the Team Ninja studio, known as the creators of complex souls-like games, announced that their next

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty project does not provide difficulty selection. All players will face the same challenges and they will not be easy.

Here is how game producer Masaaki Yamagiwa commented on this decision:

We think it's good to have one set difficulty so that all players have the same experience of overcoming a really difficult obstacle and they all feel the same way.
It is important for us to maintain the same level of complexity andprovide players with different ways to overcome it. Wo Long is not an easy game, but we are working to give players all the freedom they need to deal with obstacles along the way.

Long:Fallen Dynasty can be compared to the games of the creator of the souls-like genre Hidetaka Miyazaki (Hidetaka Miyazaki): players expect a high, but carefully balanced difficulty and many ways to overcome obstacles.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will release in early 2023 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
