The license was thought to be struggling, but a sequel is underway and led by the original creator!

A sequel to the acclaimed soulslike game Wuchang Fallen Feathers is officially in development, announced by 505 Games and Chengdu Indolphinity. Chengdu Indolphinity is a new studio founded by Xia Siyuan, the Wuchang series' creator. This announcement resolves recent uncertainties surrounding the franchise's future, addressing prior speculation about the original development team's departure. Wuchang Fallen Feathers launched on July 24, 2025, and quickly garnered significant attention, achieving over 131,000 simultaneous players on Steam at launch and surpassing 5 million players across PC and consoles. These strong performance metrics prompted Digital Bros, the parent company of 505 Games, to acquire full ownership of the franchise's intellectual property in April 2026. Following the acquisition on April 27, 2026, Digital Bros fully owned the Wuchang intellectual property and provided an initial investment of $21.5 million for the sequel. The original game had generated over $30 million in revenue within eight months of its July 2025 release.

Xia Siyuan established Chengdu Indolphinity before the Lunar New Year, departing Leenzee Studio around the same period. Reports indicated that Xia Siyuan and part of the development team left Leenzee Studio due to disagreements over post-launch support for Wuchang. The absence of substantial game updates for several months also fueled rumors of the franchise being abandoned. Now, the sequel will be developed by Chengdu Indolphinity, with 505 Games financing the project and managing its global publication. Both companies stated their shared ambition to establish Wuchang as a lasting franchise while preserving its distinct Chinese identity. Development will remain based in China to maintain the original creative vision and cultural inspirations that contributed to the first game's success. To support this new phase, Digital Bros will also open an affiliate office in Chengdu to collaborate directly with Indolphinity. Raffi Galante, co-founder of Digital Bros, stated that the objective is to empower developers to realize their vision and expand the license internationally. Xia Siyuan emphasized that the studio will continue to draw from Chinese cultural heritage, incorporating greater consideration for player feedback to deliver a more ambitious and refined experience.

Wuchang saga continues under original creator's leadership with new chapter in development.

Further details, including the official title, platforms, and release window, have not yet been announced. This announcement confirms that the Wuchang saga will continue, with its original creator leading the development of a new chapter.
