Look, let's be honest—the Three Kingdoms-themed action romp 'Wo Long' is staging a comeback, and it's looking for another bite at the cherry.

Team Ninja took to the stage during the Xbox showcase on the 8th to pull the curtain back on 'Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember'. The narrative seems to pivot around the Battle of Red Cliffs, a rather pivotal moment in the Three Kingdoms saga, and naturally, it appears we'll be dealing with the return of those pesky 'elixirs' used to summon all manner of demonic horrors.

The trailer gives us a cheeky glimpse at the world and some scraps. It’s clear that the parry-heavy combat remains the bread and butter of the experience, with the visceral 'Fatal Strike' finishers returning to the fold. There is a noticeable evolution in the movement, too, with mid-air parry chains used to ground flying nuisances—a tidy little upgrade to the repertoire.
