Xbox offered an unused look at Chinese fictional souls like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers in the recent Xbox Spouse Preview.
Printed through 505 Games (and developed by Chinese studio Leenzee), Wuchang is a noir fiction game set in the late Ming Dynasty, with a boss design that FromSoftware could be proud of.
In this unused trailer, we next see our female protagonist fighting a large oyster abomination, a woman whose fox fur shawl reaches generation, a bird-like woman with a dance move, and (of course) a huge centipede.
Before all that, we see the protagonist slicing, dicing and parrying many old enemies, who die in a fountain of blood. It looks like the spell will work up close as well, with enough colorful results illuminating the haunting shape, which appears to swap between true and demonic nation-states.
“Unravel the secrets of your forgotten past in the land of Shu before you are consumed by the Feathering disease,” the YouTube video’s description reads.
Of course, how all this can increasingly actually play will remain visible until we can get down to business and get a proper idea of the fight.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers should also not be confused with Dim Fantasy: Wukong, Phantom Blade 0, Where Winds Meet or any other Wuxia-influenced action game set in Chinese. Can this do much to bring about?
The (self-proclaimed) soullike will be released in 2025 on Xbox Series X/S and PC, and will be available on Game Pass.
