While we weren’t too hot on the 2025 soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, it was a hit for Chinese developer Leenzee and publisher 505 Games, reaching five million players across all platforms. However, a report from the Chinese publication Gamersky earlier this year claimed that the game’s director and producer, Xia Siyuan, had been fired from Leenzee. A number of staff were also reportedly let go afterwards.
Although the Wuchang IP was then sold to 505 Games’ parent company, Digital Bros, for around $4.6 million back in April, the future of the series was left up in the air.
Turns out, it’s back on the table, as Xia Siyuan returns to the helm at his new studio, Indolphinity, working on a sequel with 505 Games, confirmed in a press release and an announcement on the publisher’s social media.
“Today, we’re excited to share that 505 Games has officially entered into a new partnership with Xia Siyuan, the original creator of WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, and his new studio Indolphinity … to jointly create a brand‑new chapter of the WUCHANG IP.”
