Publisher 505 and developer Leenzee Games have released a brand new trailer and release date for their action role-playing game WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. Gematsu reports that the title is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and will also be available for download on Gamepass.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is set in the land of Shu during the late Ming Dynasty, between warring factions and a mysterious illness giving birth to monstrous creatures. You will assume the role of Wuchang, a warrior pirate stricken with amnesia who must uncover the reason for her condition and the feathering disease, an affliction that causes feathers to sprout from the afflicted and transforms them into monsters.

505 Games shared a Q and A with Wuchang Director Xia Siyuan and inquired about the how the late Ming Dynasty has influenced the game’s setting  “We aim to blend the atmosphere of classic wuxia films by King Hu with this dark setting, creating a unique artistic ambiance through intense conflict. This artistic style allows us to incorporate nonlinear and vertical level designs, delivering impactful environmental narratives that enhance the storytelling experience. Our goal is to immerse players in a world that feels alive with every step they take.” 

Pre-orders for WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers will include the “Night & White Pack,” which contains the “Night Spectre Enhanced Costume Set” (five costume pieces), the “White Spectre Enhanced Costume Set” (five costume pieces), the “Vermillion War Club (Axe),” and the “Glistening Red Mercury Skill Upgrade Item.” A Deluxe Edition will also be available, which includes the base game, four costumes (“Tiger of Fortune Costume,” “Draconic Resurgence Costume,” “Soul Ritual Robe Costume,” “Overlord’s Regalia Costume”), four Weapons (“Watcher’s Gaze [Sword],” “Dragoncoil Lance [Spear],” “Eternal Sovereignty [Dual Blades],” “Moonlight Dragon [Sword]”), and the “Blood of Changhong Skill Upgrade Item.”

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is set for release on July 24. With its developers drawing attention to detail in setting, and the ability to capitalize on recent outings in the soulslike genre WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers may be off to a great start.
