I’d never thought one of my favorite underrated Xbox Soulslikes would get a sequel, but I’m glad Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember proved me wrong
Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo officially announced Wo Long 2: Flames of Ember during the June 2026 Xbox Games Showcase through a reveal trailer. The sequel continues the legacy of the 2023 Soulslike action game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which has been noted as an underrated gem within the crowded Soulslike genre. The game will be released on Xbox and PC platforms through Xbox Play Anywhere.
Team Ninja, renowned for developing the acclaimed Nioh series and 3D Ninja Gaiden games, brings its expertise in challenging action gameplay to this sequel. Like its predecessor, Wo Long 2: Flames of Ember features brutal, dark Soulslike combat and will take players through the war-torn lands of China during the Three Kingdoms Era, a historically rich setting known for military conflict and political intrigue.
The announcement confirms fan interest in the franchise, with the original game finding success despite competition from other Soulslike titles. Further gameplay details and specific features remain to be revealed, but the presence at the Xbox Games Showcase suggests strong support from Microsoft for the title.
