Team Ninja grew in popularity because of their Dead or Alive fighting series along with the brutal combat of the Xbox-based Ninja Gaiden reboot. Years later, they would prove they are still hardcore with both Nioh games, taking inspiration from From Software and their many Soulslike adventures. Then, in 2023, they showed that they also knew how to create a more balanced and less challenging Soulslike via Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
