Wuchang: Fallen Feathers‍[a] is a 2025 Soulslike action role-playing game developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games. The player assumes the role of Bai Wuchang, a female pirate, who navigates the supernatural horrors stemming from the Feathering. Set in an alternate history representation of Shu during the late Ming dynasty, the story explores a region ravaged by war and plague.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 24 July 2025.

Gameplay

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a Soulslike action role-playing game.[5][6][7] It is played in single-player mode‍[4][8] from a third-person perspective.[7]

The player controls the female pirate Bai Wuchang.[8][9][10][11] She initially wields the Cloudfrost's Edge, a longsword based on the Chinese changdao.[1] She can wield weapons of several types, namely longswords, one-handed swords, dual blades, axes, and spears.[12][13] The weapons can be equipped as a primary or secondary option.[14] Each weapon can be used to execute light attacks, heavy attacks, weapon skills, and disciplines.[15][16] Weapon skills are unique to each individual weapon, while disciplines are tied to weapon types.[12] Disciplines can be unlocked through the skill tree and assigned to any weapon within the corresponding type.[12] Defensive maneuvers include dodges, blocks, and deflects (parries), with the latter two depending on the disciplines available to specific weapon types.[17]

In this gameplay, Bai Wuchang performs disciplines and casts a spell, both fueled by skyborn might, as part of her offense. Throughout, she does shimmers, one of the methods she uses to restore skyborn might.

A primary combat mechanic is centered on skyborn might, which functions as a combat resource to power weapon skills, disciplines, and spells.[12][15] It also enables swift draws (weapon swaps that instantly activate weapon skills).[18] It is accrued by performing shimmers (well-timed dodges) and through other methods specific to each weapon type.[12] It is visually represented by the colored feathers attached to Wuchang's arm.[19]

Another primary combat mechanic is centered on madness.[20] If Wuchang kills humanoids or dies, her madness increases.[20][21][22] If she kills feathered beings, her madness decreases.[20][21][22] Other means to influence her madness are also available.[20][22] Her madness is visually represented through her eyes turning red at 50 percent and her body manifesting demonic markings at 90 percent.[21] Some skill tree upgrades become more effective once her madness reaches specific heights.[20] Once her madness reaches 90 percent, she will both deal and take increased damage.[20][21][22] If she dies when her madness is at its maximum height, the Inner Demon materializes as a hostile entity that attacks her and everything else that targets it.[21]

The impetus repository, accessible through shrines, is the skill tree.[23] It is divided in six branches, with one path focused on each weapon type and another path for other features.[11][12][20] The playstyle can be adjusted by reallocating points in the skill tree at no cost.[11][12][20] Red mercury is a resource that can either be refined into red mercury essense for use as points in the skill tree or be used as currency to purchase items at vendors.[23] Upon death, it is dropped in a proportion determined by the height of madness.[24]

There is a feature to transmogrify armor, which enables the customization of the player character's appearance independently of stats.[25][26] According to Xia Siyuan, "Armour designs are drawn from Ming Dynasty influences, regional clothing traditions, and mythological elements that tie into the world of Wuchang. Each piece is meant to reflect where it comes from — whether it’s a forgotten temple, a warrior’s clan, or a corrupted region touched by the feathering."[25]

The game is a non-linear experience.[27][28] It takes place in a world with interconnected areas.[1][29] The traversal between areas is seamless, but some paths may initially be restricted.[1] Shrines, scattered throughout the environment, act as checkpoints.[30] Many non-player characters can offer dialogue and may provide side quests.[31] Player choices influence the story's direction and ending.[32] A New Game Plus mode becomes available following the completion of a playthrough.[33]

Synopsis

Setting

The game features scenery based on Sichuan and historical Shu.[29] This includes, for example, the Leshan Giant Buddha.[3]

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is set in the war-torn and plague-stricken lands of Shu during the late Ming dynasty.[6][29][34] The Feathering is a disease spreading across the region, causing the gradual decline and collapse of society and its environment.[32] The setting is presented through an alternate history centered on the disease.[29] According to Xia Siyuan, "Our portrayal of historical events aligns with mainstream historiography. However, the game's world diverges due to supernatural forces that reshaped history millennia ago. We show this through our worldbuilding, which traces back to the era of King Duyu of Shu [from the legendary era of Shu]."[35]

Plot

During the late Ming dynasty, the lands of Shu are devastated by warring factions and plagued by the Feathering. This affliction erodes memory, induces madness, and initiates monstrous transformation. The female pirate Bai Wuchang returns to her homeland of Shu, since she seeks to resurrect her younger sister Bai Yu using a powerful ancient artifact. She possesses one of its remnants, the Ancient Chisel.

Following a feathered monstrosity's rampage in Worship's Rise, Bai Wuchang becomes afflicted with the Feathering and loses her memory. She is found unconscious and taken to a cave near the Reverent Temple by the Taoist Xuanyangzi. Wuchang sets out for the Shu Sanctum, rumored to hold the knowledge needed to treat the disease. She reunites with He Youzai, her crewmate and companion in the quest to resurrect Bai Yu. Wuchang finds the Shu Sanctum in ruins and its remaining priest overtaken by the disease. She treks to the Tang Emperor's Palace and discovers the Jade Ancient Chisel within its complex. Honglan, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, stops and fights her. She realizes that Wuchang is descended from the Bai lineage, spares her, and takes the chisel.

Bai Wuchang and He Youzai pursue the Imperial Guard, who has the Jade Ancient Chisel, to Cloudspire. Ming and rebel forces are engaged in conflict. Wuchang kills Huang Yan, the Madam of Snowfall Palace, and finds Honglan imprisoned within its complex. Previously, the Madam used the chisel to revive Fang Ling, a woman abducted and tormented to death, and turn her into a perfect bride, but the act changed her into a monstrous being instead. Wuchang kills her and retrieves the chisel. Fang Yao, mourning her elder sister Ling, departs with Youzai.

Bai Wuchang, He Youzai, and Fang Yao move to Mount Zhenwu. A rebel army seizes control, slaughters the locals, and resurrects its leader Zhang Xianzhong using the Aurum Ancient Chisel. At Zhenwu Temple, Wuchang kills the rebel leader, who has risen as a monstrous being, and retrieves the chisel. She meets Youzai at the Bai Mansion, her family home. A long time ago, Governor-General Bai Tingzhao, her father, took the Ancient Chisel from the temple and used it to resurrect his son Bai Kru, but the attempt twisted the toddler into a monstrous being. In the marshlands, Wuchang can assist Zhao Yun in killing the Bo Sorcerer, an Avian woman, and claim the Cyan Ancient Chisel from him in a duel. Many centuries ago, he led an army against monsters and seized the chisel.

Bai Wuchang, He Youzai, and Fang Yao return to Worship's Rise, which has been reduced to ruins by the Bo Magus. Wuchang can confront and kill her, but doing so may cause Wuchang to ascend as an entity ensnared by her influence in the "Successor of the Bo" ending.[b] Wuchang can fight the Nightmare Demon, an incarnation who has awaken to the world's mortal guise and seeks to end the dream that binds them. Xuanyangzi laments the loss of a chisel previously acquired by Honglan and claims the object could have advanced the study on the Feathering. Wuchang can give the Jade Ancient Chisel to him. Ming loyalists use the Vermilion Ancient Chisel to resurrect the Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian, but the deed warps the ruler into a monstrous being. Wuchang defeats him and retrieves the chisel.

The Bo Capital, the heart of Ancient Shu, lies entombed beneath Worship's Rise. During ancient times, the Avians crafted red mercury with the aim to bend fate and used the chisels as tools in rituals to warp reality. In a shrine dwelling, Bai Wuchang can fight the Demon of Obsession, an incarnation who never let go of her fixation to revive Bai Yu even after many journeys through endless dreams, and form the Ring of Samsara that serves as a causality key to reach her wish. At the Gate of Truth, Wuchang faces Xuanyangzi, whose machinations have enabled his ascension as an immortal entity through Feathering, and kills him. She then passes through the gate.

  • In the "Jarful of Medicine" ending,[b] Bai Wuchang enters the stream of Samsara. Though the feathered Xuanyangzi is dead, another incarnation with the Jade Ancient Chisel thrusts a sword retrieved from the corpse through Wuchang. As the cycle turns anew, Xuanyangzi seals the previous Wuchang within a jar, while another Wuchang begins her journey.
  • In the "Dream's Sweet Deceit" ending,[b] Bai Wuchang enters the realm of dreams. She departs with He Youzai and Bai Yu on a boat. She remains afflicted with the Feathering.
  • In the "Bound by Fate's Threads" ending,[b] Bai Wuchang enters the realm of truth. She departs with He Youzai and Fang Yao on a boat, while a ship waits in the distance. She is free from the Feathering.

Development

The Sun and Immortal Birds Gold Ornament from Jinsha is one of the artifacts that has been recreated in the game.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a game developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games.[5][6] Leenzee is a studio based in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.[1][25] The studio officially established the project in 2019.[38] The game had been in development for about a year and a half when it was revealed in September 2021.[39] It was built using Unreal Engine 5.[14][40]

Historical sites of ancient Shu societies such as Sanxingdui and Jinsha were drawn upon by the developers.[39] Historical and mythical elements featured in classic literature, including the Annals of the Kings of Shu, the Brocade Zither, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas, were adapted.[39] The distinctive landscape of Sichuan and historical Shu, including the architecture and topography, was recreated in the scenery.[29] Sichuanese dialects were used for the Chinese voiceovers of numerous non-player characters.[29]

According to Xia Siyuan, "Our game's world is based on a parallel universe concept - one that branched off from our own reality due to a small divergence during the time of Duyu. Building on that idea, we consulted a wide range of historical texts, studied numerous Ming Dynasty artifacts, and visited museums to deepen our understanding. From there, we created a full timeline and narrative arc spanning from the Duyu era to the Ming Dynasty, striving to make the world feel authentic and believable. We also drew inspiration from cultural traditions such as the Sanxingdui civilization, Sichuan opera face-changing, and the iron flower ritual, as well as from Ming-era Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophies and the evolution of firearms. These influences have been woven directly into the gameplay. Our hope is that these elements not only capture the historical atmosphere but also allow players to truly experience the unique cultural richness of the region."[41] He said the particular period was a time of transition and uncertainty, marked by political collapse, widespread conflict, and major shifts in worldview, which reflects a kind of instability that enabled them to explore deeper themes such as decay, fate, and transformation in a grounded way.[42]

According to Xia, "For boss designs, we drew inspiration from Chinese history and culture, especially archaeological discoveries like Sanxingdui, as well as elements from Chinese mythology and folk stories, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the 'Jiangkou Sunken Silver' legend. We hope to convey the uniqueness of these bosses through visual design, while also interpreting the 'Chinese-style supernatural' genre in the story."[43]

Bai Wuchang's movements were created using motion capture of a female martial artist's performances.[3]

Xia commented that the success of Black Myth: Wukong provided many positive signs and boosted confidence in the future of Chinese studios as well as validated the market, while internally it confirmed that developing Wuchang: Fallen Feathers was the right decision and the game was on the right track.[44]
