Two Highly Anticipated Xbox Game Pass Games in 2023 Unite for Epic Crossover
Two highly anticipated Xbox Game Pass games in 2023, both in the challenging Soulslike genre, are teaming up for an exciting collaboration as one of them approaches its release
Lies of P and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, two popular Soulslike games, are joining forces for an exciting new collaboration. Lies of P, which was recently given a release date of September 19 at Summer Game Fest, has generated a lot of anticipation as one of the standout titles in the Xbox Game Pass lineup for the rest of 2023.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, developed by Team Ninja, a renowned Japanese studio known for creating franchises like Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, and Nioh, was released on Xbox Game Pass in March and received positive reviews. This challenging action game in the style of Soulslike titles had players feeling the pressure right from the first boss encounter. Despite being available for several months, Team Ninja has a surprise in store for fans later this year.
The collaboration between Wo Long and Lies of P, which was announced on the Wo Long Twitter account, has sparked interest among fans. However, no specific details or timeline for the collaboration have been disclosed. It is unusual for such an announcement to be made when one of the games has yet to be released. Typically, collaborations occur between games that are already available to the public. Despite both being Soulslike games, Wo Long and Lies of P differ greatly in terms of their setting and style. Lies of P draws inspiration from FromSoftware's Bloodborne, featuring a gloomy, mechanical city reminiscent of 1800s Paris. On the other hand, Wo Long is set in China during the Han dynasty and shares gameplay similarities with FromSoftware's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
It is challenging to envision the specifics of this collaboration. Considering that both games are designed for single player experiences, it seems unlikely but not entirely impossible to introduce a limited-time mode or event. One possibility could be a straightforward exchange of cosmetic costumes, as both games already offer players the opportunity to express themselves through various outfits. However, this is purely speculative at the moment. As Lies of P is scheduled for a September release, fans can expect to learn more about this unique and intriguing collaboration in the near future.
