Overview

  • Digital Bros and its publishing label 505 Games announced on July 29, 2026 that they have entered a development and publishing agreement for a sequel to Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
  • The company said it will provide an initial investment of €21.5 million and confirmed it acquired full ownership of the Wuchang IP in April 2026.
  • Creative development will be led by Indolphinity, a Chengdu studio founded by original Wuchang director Xia Siyuan, though reports do not yet clarify how many members of the original Leenzee team have moved to the new studio.
  • Digital Bros will establish a dedicated Chengdu subsidiary to work closely with Indolphinity and said the project is in a preparation phase with no title, gameplay details, or release window announced.
  • The sequel follows a commercially successful but rocky 2025 launch for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, which reached about five million players but drew criticism for poor PC performance and a post‑launch patch that changed historical content and drew community backlash.
