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.
