As the next generation of console releases continues to shape how players access big action RPGs, Team Ninja is making sure its China-set Soulslike stays on the roadmap—by bringing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition to Nintendo Switch 2 this September. The updated package launches on September 3 and bundles the base game, all major DLC, and fresh endgame challenges.
A Team Ninja Soulslike set in China’s Three Kingdoms era
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a Soulslike action game developed by Team Ninja, the studio behind the Nioh series. The game is set during China’s Three Kingdoms era, and it originally debuted on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in 2023. Since launch, it has grown into a major release for the franchise, surpassing 5 million players to date and selling 1 million copies along the way. In 2024, the Complete Edition arrived on the same major platforms, and now the Switch 2 version is set to expand that audience further.
What’s included in the Switch 2 Complete Edition
The Nintendo Switch 2 release brings the base game plus all three major DLC expansions: Battle of Zhongyuan, Conqueror of Jiangdon, and Upheaval in Jingxiang. Team Ninja also says the edition adds new endgame content, giving players more scenarios and systems to engage with beyond the original campaign structure.
Alongside that core bundle, the studio points to enhancements designed to deepen replayability. These include new difficulties, new stages, additional Divine Beasts, and more challenging difficulty functions. The Complete Edition on Switch 2 also includes previously released collaboration DLC featuring equipment and stages from Nioh 2, Naraka: Bladepoint, and Lies of P.
For players who like collecting gear, the Switch 2 package further includes three items that were originally part of the game’s launch lineup—Baihu Armor, Zhuque Armor, and Qinglong Armor. Finally, Switch 2 players receive an exclusive Xuanwu Armor set.
New endgame scenario: The Thousand-Mile Journey
The headline addition for this edition is new endgame content called The Thousand-Mile Journey. Team Ninja describes it as a way to experience additional scenarios featuring characters from the armies of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei. The update also expands the weapon roster with additional weapon types, including cestuses, long swords, and whips.
This endgame content is not limited to Switch 2—it’s also coming to all platforms, meaning existing players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC should expect the same core additions as the new edition rolls out.
Where Wo Long goes next: Wo Long 2 is already in motion
While the Complete Edition is arriving on Switch 2 in September, Team Ninja is also looking further ahead. The studio recently announced Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, which is due out in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. That means Switch 2 players will get an immediate on-ramp with the first game this year, followed by a later jump to the sequel on the same platform family.

Expert View
The Switch 2 arrival of a full Complete Edition signals that Team Ninja is treating Wo Long as a long-term franchise rather than a one-cycle release. Bundling all major DLC, collaboration content, and a platform-wide endgame addition reduces friction for new players while keeping current owners aligned with the same update direction. For the broader market, it also reinforces how studios can extend the life of a Soulslike through editions that function like “content hubs,” which should help maintain community momentum until the sequel—Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember—arrives in 2027.
