We’ve seen plenty of knockoff soulslikes over the past few years, with only a handful that have managed to stand out and impress. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is one such title, an interesting soulslike with a good combat system that drew attention for both good and bad reasons.
Unfortunately, the game didn’t perform quite to what was expected, thanks to horrid performance problems on PC and controversial changes to make certain boss characters unkillable. It eventually led to the dissolution of Chinese developer Leenzee Games, and the Wuchang IP was left floundering without an owner.
However, it was eventually purchased by Digital Bros, the parent company of 505 Games, and hope for an actual sequel was back. And now, almost three months after the acquisition announcement, Digital Bros has announced that a sequel to Wuchang is now in development.
In a press release sent to TheGamer, 505 Games has revealed that the sequel is being worked on by series creator Xia Siyuan, who has established a new studio called Indolphinity. This studio will oversee development of the game, while 505 Games will fund and publish the title.
These bosses are going to put you down and there's nothing you can do...
