Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Sequel Announced with Original Director at New Studio

Jul 30, 20266 sources0 comments

A sequel to Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is officially in development, publisher 505 Games has confirmed, with original creative director Xia Siyuan returning to helm the project. The catch: Xia is leading the charge at an entirely new studio called Indolphinity, formed after the collapse of the original developer Leenzee. Earlier reports had indicated that Xia was fired from Leenzee before the studio's dissolution, making the sequel announcement a notable comeback for the director.

Despite attracting over five million players since its launch and earning a broadly positive reception as a Chinese-developed soulslike, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers was quickly mired in controversy following its release. The upheaval surrounding Leenzee cast serious doubt on whether the franchise had any future. Now, with 505 Games backing a new team under Xia's creative leadership at Indolphinity, the series appears to be pressing forward. As Xia has signaled, the story is far from over.
