Fans can have a taste of the challenges that await them in the Alpha Demo, playable until 30th September 2026!
Hertfordshire, 16th September 2026 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Team NINJA are proud to announce that Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, the latest instalment in their dark Three Kingdoms action RPG series, will be released worldwide on 4th March 2027, on XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™2, XBOX on PC, Steam®, and with XBOX Game Pass. To celebrate the start of pre-orders, an epic trailer has been unveiled alongside new information about the story, the key characters, and gameplay systems that await players. Lastly, fans can already catch a glimpse of this upcoming journey with the limited-time Alpha Demo, available from today on XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation®5, XBOX on PC, and Steam®.
Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember takes players to China in 208 AD, after the events of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, when the village of the protagonist and their friend, Pang Tong, is devastated by Cao Cao’s forces as they march to invade Jing Province, plunging the land into war with demons roaming freely. Seeking revenge, the protagonist will clear the way for Liu Bei in his fight against Cao Cao’s forces, before joining Sun Quan in Jiangdong where they meet again with Pang Tong to devise a plan to repel Cao Cao as he sets his sights on the Red Cliffs.
These two fledging talents, endowed with intelligence and courage, will soar through the skies above the decisive battle, taking on demons on the battlefield with an enhanced combat system. Players will rediscover the fast-paced combat of Wo Long, which combines attack and defence with evolved actions exclusive to this sequel. Using Insight Skills, they will be able to evade enemy attacks and use the terrain to their advantage to launch counterattacks, or even shift the momentum when outnumbered, making the fights even more acrobatic, exhilarating, and deadly than ever before.
Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember will offer fans greater freedom through dynamic open fields that recreate iconic battles from the Three Kingdoms era, such as the Battle of Changban and the Battle of the Red Cliffs. Players will be able to freely explore these new environments – from fortresses carved into the mountains to strongholds hidden deep in the valleys-whilst overcoming overwhelming obstacles. More than ever before, players will need to raise their morale if they are to survive in this demon-infested world. Enemy officers can be recruited to their cause, thereby weakening opposing forces, and players will need to employ various strategies on the battlefield to turn the tide of battle.
Ahead of the planned release on 4th March 2027, players can anticipate the tough battles that await them by downloading the Alpha Demo, playable from today until 30th September 2026, on XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation®5, XBOX on PC, and Steam®*.

Upon finishing the demo, players will receive the Fledgling Phoenix Helmet as a bonus to be used in the full game. A survey will also be conducted in order to help facilitate feedback upon completion.
