WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers – Preview Event

When I was asked by the Senior Editors here at Thumb Culture if I wanted to attend a preview event of Leenzee and 505 Games upcoming title Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, I’m sure you can guess my answer. Even if I had to make my way from Wales to that there London! I had intended to go into this game blind upon launch, but who can say no to playing a game early and getting to chat to the developers about it?

Destiny is a heavy burden for such small wings.
For those who aren’t aware of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, it’s an upcoming Souls-like game with a Chinese Mythology setting. If you know how most Souls-likes go, then you’re fully aware of what to expect, but there are a couple cool things to point out. If you’re wondering when it releases, then you won’t have long to wait. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers launches on July 24th for PS5, Xbox, Steam.

I got to play as the titular character Wuchang, a young woman who awakes in a cave and has amnesia (besides some lingering echos). After this, I quickly ran down some hills and met with a couple of NPCs. One of which explains that a bird-like, man-eating monster has been attacking villages, and those affected become afflicted with something known as the Feathering. Wuchang is one of these people.

By the looks of things, we’ll be aiming to save the world, and return Wuchang’s memories. I was told that you can look forward to a rich story with great depth, as well as some heavy lore to uncover.
