Numerous reports stated that Siyuan had departed developer Leenzee, followed by various other colleagues, after studio bosses reportedly told staff to pivot away from post-launch support and onto other projects. <\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/wuchang-fallen-feathers-sequel-announced-with-creator-back-on-board-after-reports-that-its-development-team-had-disbanded.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Exactly what occurred remains unclear, though the game has not been updated since last November.

Our philosophies are highly aligned, giving us great confidence in the long-term future of the series. We take player and community feedback seriously while remaining committed to our original vision and cultural roots. We will strive to deliver higher quality and a more complete experience in response to players&#8217; long-standing expectations.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;The story of Wuchang is not over. Chengdu Indolphinity and 505 Games will embark on a new journey together, opening a brand-new chapter for this story rooted in Eastern soil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">There&#8217;s no word yet on when this sequel might see the light of day, but this announcement does at least confirm it is on the way.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is yet another great Soulslike to add to the ever-increasing pile, featuring excellent combat, wonderful level design, an incredible skill tree, and fearsome bosses,&#8221; we wrote in IGN&#8217;s Wuchang: Fallen Feathers review, which returned an 8\/10 score. &#8220;Just watch out for some steep difficulty dips and spikes, and a reliance on cheap-feeling &#8216;gotcha!&#8217; ambushes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
