Chinese developer Leenzee and publisher 505 Games have announced Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a dark and dreary Souls-like action RPG.
The latest from 505 Games immerses players in a dark fantasy version of the late Ming Dynasty, a period rife with warring factions and a mysterious illness turning humans into monstrous creatures. You are Wuchang, a pirate warrior struck by amnesia and afflicted by the horrific disease, which is conveniently also a source of immense power.
If Leenzee’s website is to be believed, its hard not to get “super dark Mulan vibes” from Wuchang’s character bio. Regardless, she will need to battle against grotesque abominations, piece together her lost memories, and make choices that will lead to one of several endings—each determined by the choices made, secrets unearthed, and the allies made.
As per usual, you can find the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers announcement trailer below, along with some overview details (via 505 Games) and the latest screenshots.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Overview
A darkness has befallen the land of Shu, and a phenomenon known as Ornithropy is causing mutations. Thrown into an epidemic of plague and monsters, you will have to overcome cruel and twisted enemies with various fighting styles, hidden weapons, ancient firearms, and even the power of Ornithropy to forge a path through flesh and blood towards the truth buried beneath it all.
Key Features

Arsenal Against the Darkness – Players can choose from powerful double-handed axes or nimble dual one-handed blades, among others. Every weapon category comes with an extensive set of skills, encouraging players to experiment and master different techniques to suit their preferred combat style.
