Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja recently revealed detailed information regarding the console game modes for their upcoming action role-playing game, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. The information comes courtesy of an official FAQ page that went live, answering many technical and gameplay-related queries that players might have before pre-ordering the game on their platform of choice.

Alongside the many console performance modes, Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja also unraveled the PC requirements for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Given the game is due for release in just a few short weeks, it's not surprising that the developers are finally coming out with the technical specifications regarding their hotly anticipated action role-playing game.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is releasing as a cross-generation title, meaning it will be released simultaneously on the current-generation (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S) and the previous-generation (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) consoles. As such, it offers various performance options for console players, especially for current-generation machines.


Similarly to Team Ninja's previous souls-like title, Nioh 2, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty offers multiple performance modes for current-generation consoles

Much like Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo's previous projects, namely Nioh 2 and Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty offers two distinct performance modes on current-generation consoles, one that prioritizes framerate, and the other that prioritizes visual fidelity.

Although the FAQ page does not give a proper resolution and framerate target for each mode, it can be speculated that it will be the same as their previous titles. What is different this time around is the lack of any performance modes for last-generation consoles, i.e., PlayStation 4 Pro, and Xbox One S|X.

For the last-generation consoles, Team Ninja has given a single target resolution and framerate, which for some players can be a deal-breaker, especially considering Team Ninja's previous titles have always featured multiple performance modes for these consoles. The following is a complete breakdown of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's console game modes:

PlayStation 5

  • Maximum resolution target: 3840 x 2160 (4K)
  • Maximum framerate traget: 60fps
  • Graphics modes: Resolution mode (prioritize high framerate), Performance mode (prioritize high framerate)

Xbox Series X

  • Maximum resolution target: 3840 x 2160 (4K)
  • Maximum framerate traget: 60fps
  • Graphics modes: Resolution mode (prioritize high framerate), Performance mode (prioritize high framerate)

Xbox Series S

  • Maximum resolution target: 2560 x 1440
  • Maximum framerate traget: 60fps
  • Graphics modes: Resolution mode (prioritize high framerate), Performance mode (prioritize high framerate)

PlayStation 4 Pro

  • Maximum resolution target: 3840 x 2160 (4K)
  • Maximum framerate traget: 30fps
  • Graphics modes: N/A

Xbox One X

  • Maximum resolution target: 3840 x 2160 (4K)
  • Maximum framerate traget: 30fps
  • Graphics modes: N/A

PlayStation 4

  • Maximum resolution target: 1920 x 1080
  • Maximum framerate traget: 30fps
  • Graphics modes: N/A

Xbox One

  • Maximum resolution target: 1920 x 1080
  • Maximum framerate traget: 30fps
  • Graphics modes: N/A

The official FAQ page also mentions that the game will use dynamic resolution across all consoles to reach the target framerates, which is no surprise given how aggressive the dynamic resolution scaler usually is in most Team Ninja-developed titles.
