505 Games Announces New WUCHANG Game With Original Creator Xia Siyuan's New Studio Indolphinity

505 Games has announced a new entry in the WUCHANG series, to be developed by Chengdu Recursive Dolphin Technology (Indolphinity), the studio founded by original WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers creator Xia Siyuan.

Indolphinity will lead development, while 505 Games manages funding and global publishing. The project is in early preparation, with no title, release date, or game details available. 505 Games has only confirmed it as the next game in the WUCHANG series.

This announcement comes after the closure of Leenzee, the studio responsible for the original game.

New WUCHANG Game Follows Leenzee’s Closure

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers launched on July 24, 2025, and received solid review scores, sales, and player numbers. Leenzee's WUCHANG team was closed earlier this year after Xia's departure, when the remaining staff reportedly declined to return to outsourcing work. KR Asia reports that shareholders proposed the shift, but the team's refusal led to the studio's disbandment.

Digital Bros, parent company of 505 Games, acquired the WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers IP in April 2026. The company now owns the IP and has engaged the original game's creator for the new project. The new game is not confirmed as a sequel, prequel, or directly connected to the original, only that it is the next entry in the series.

The original game has since reached five million players across PC and consoles.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers faced controversy over Patch 1.5, which prevented several historically significant bosses and NPCs from being killed, making them exhausted after combat instead. The update also changed dialogue and made parts of Chapter 4 easier by turning many enemies non-hostile.

These changes led to significant backlash. Many believed the updates responded to criticism from the Chinese gaming community about the game's portrayal of Ming and Qing Dynasty history. Others objected to the retcon, arguing it harmed the plot, characters, and tone. Leenzee did not offer a detailed explanation for the narrative overhaul at the time.

What 505 Games Hasn’t Confirmed Yet And How To Access

The new WUCHANG game is in early preparation, and 505 Games has not confirmed a title, release date, platforms, or any narrative connection to WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. The size of Indolphinity's team and whether other original WUCHANG team members have joined Xia at the new studio also remain unconfirmed. Further details are not expected soon due to the project's early stage.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The game is free with Game Pass Ultimate and was offered on PlayStation Plus in May.

Players interested in the series can access the original while the new project is in development, though 505 Games has not indicated whether the new game will continue its story or systems.
