Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty officially surpasses 5 million players

Back in March of last year, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja released Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – an open world souls-like which managed to break records for the publisher, cementing this brand new IP as an undeniable success. Following a year’s worth of post-launch support, the game has now reached a new milestone: surpassing 5 million players.

Making the announcement on Twitter, Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo revealed that “#WoLongFallenDynasty has reached over 5 million militia warriors! Thank you for the tremendous support!”

It is worth noting that 5 million players does not equate to 5 million copies sold as the game has been available on Xbox and PC Game Pass since day-one.

While we do not have updated sales figures, back in May of last year the game had sold 1 million copies – with total players hitting 3.8 million. Assuming the ratio of Game Pass players to payers remained somewhat consistent, then the game is likely nearing 2 million copies sold.

Regardless, this latest milestone lends added confidence to Team Ninja’s next game – the PlayStation 5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin – which is set to arrive in just a few short days.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
