A sequel to Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is officially in the works at a new studio named Indolphinity, formally registered as Chengdu Recursive Dolphin Technology Co. The new team is led by Xia Siyuan, the director of the original Action RPG Soulslike, who was reportedly fired from series creator Leenzee Games earlier in the year.

Quick Facts

  • Developer: Indolphinity (Chengdu Recursive Dolphin Technology Co.)
  • Publisher: 505 Games (parent company Digital Bros acquired the IP rights in April 2026)
  • Current Status: Officially in its preparation phase
  • Platforms: Multi-platform (specific console and PC lineups unconfirmed for the sequel)

Studio Shift and IP Rights

The announcement follows a turbulent period for the franchise. Earlier reports indicated that the original Leenzee Games team working on Wuchang was dissolved after refusing a pivot to support work, following Xia Siyuan's departure. That turmoil came on the heels of a significant retcon patch for the original game, which adjusted historical characters and lowered difficulty following backlash from Chinese fans over the portrayal of historical figures.

Digital Bros, the parent company of 505 Games, secured the Wuchang IP rights in April 2026. Under the new publishing agreement, Indolphinity will drive creative development while 505 Games funds and handles global publishing. Additionally, Digital Bros is establishing a new subsidiary in Chengdu, China, to support ongoing development and publishing efforts.

Player Impact and What Comes Next

For players tracking the franchise, 505 Games confirms that the project has only just entered its preparation phase. While the original game reached 5 million players worldwide and drew over 131,000 concurrent players on Steam at launch, the formation of a brand-new studio means a finished product is a long way off. Even a 2026 or 2027 window is unlikely given that Indolphinity is currently building its infrastructure from the ground up.

Creative direction appears committed to returning to the project's roots. Siyuan stated that the team intends to listen closely to player feedback and focus on cultural foundations and polished quality moving forward. Whether the new studio will rehire original developers from Leenzee remains unconfirmed, but the publisher has emphasized its commitment to preserving the cultural authenticity of the IP while keeping its creative heart in China.
