Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

A warrior afflicted by Feathering

Released on 24 July 2025 on PS5 according to the French PlayStation Store and on 23 July 2025 on PC according to Steam, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers follows a heroine afflicted by Feathering, a disease that wipes memories before driving its victims mad. It follows souls-like conventions: maze-like levels, tough enemies and bosses, and stat and gear progression. A Madness mechanic lets the character transform to unlock new abilities.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (6/10) finds the action serviceable and praises a few unique mechanics and a nice setting, but calls it very formulaic and criticises the PS5 Pro performance options (screen tearing, blur). PlayStation Universe (8.5/10) ranks it among the genre's best thanks to challenging gameplay, riveting exploration and imposing bosses, while noting an unremarkable story and screen tearing that has to be fixed through the settings.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026: on the PlayStation Store the game costs €49.99 and the Deluxe Edition €59.99, with no sale. On Steam the game costs €49.99 with no sale. The separately sold Deluxe Upgrade Pack (add-on content) is not counted here.

Who is it for?

Souls-like fans looking for a new challenge in a setting inspired by ancient China. Players expecting the game to reinvent the genre or to run flawlessly may be disappointed.
