Koei Tecmo Games and Team NINJA shipped Ver1.305 for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty on June 8, the first patch in over two years. The previous update, in February 2024, added the Xuanwu Battle Armor Set and fixed bugs. This time the target is Zhang Liang, the early-game boss who has killed countless players with his giant club and unblockable Secret Arts. In human form, his Spirit damage output is reduced and his attack patterns are adjusted; in demon form, both Spirit and HP damage are lowered. On the player side, the Divine Beast gauge fills faster during the fight, and after defeating Zhang Liang the player's HP and Dragon's Cure Pot are fully restored. The patch follows earlier nerfs in March and December 2023 that reduced the boss's HP and Spirit damage taken. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Wo Long is scheduled for September 3.
