## Key points

- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers sequel confirmed after original studio Leenzee's collapse
- Original director Xia Siyuan will lead development at new studio Indolphinity
- 505 Games funding and publishing; project now in preparation phase

## Summary

A sequel to soulslike game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has been confirmed, with original creative director Xia Siyuan returning to lead development despite the collapse of the game's original studio, Leenzee. This matters because the project's future was in doubt after Xia departed Leenzee, which subsequently fell apart, leaving fans uncertain whether a follow-up to a game that had attracted over five million players would ever materialise.

Publisher 505 Games, owned by Digital Bros, acquired the Wuchang IP for roughly €4m in April and will now fund and globally publish the sequel, which is in its preparation phase. Development will be led by Indolphinity (Chengdu Recursive Dolphin Technology), the new studio Xia founded after leaving Leenzee, with work remaining based in China. Xia acknowledged criticism of the original game, promising to listen to player feedback and deliver "more polished quality and a more complete experience"; the first title, which launched on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, drew a mixed but largely positive reception, including a three-star Eurogamer review and "mostly positive" overall Steam ratings.
