Following the success of Black Myth: Wukong, action RPGs with Soulslike elements are seeing a notable evolution, with signs of a “gold rush” emerging in 2025.
One of the standout titles to watch for is Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a game that combines action and RPG elements, developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games. Notably, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has already begun to capture the attention of many gamers.

This title has officially received an M (Mature 17+) rating from the ESRB, confirming its high combat intensity and dark themes.
According to the ESRB summary, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers will feature strong violent content, bloodshed, intense emotions, and strong language. In this game, players will take on the role of Bai Wuchang, a minor general navigating through the war-torn landscapes of late Ming China, plagued by battles and pandemics. The combat system focuses on intense battles with swords, spears, and other weapons, showcasing dramatic bloodshed during attacks. Furthermore, the game vividly portrays the gruesome realities of warfare and the grim atmosphere surrounding the gameplay.

Besides its elements of intense violence, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers also contains significant emotional themes, featuring a female character dressed in a relatively revealing outfit with intricate details. It is worth noting that certain dialogue exchanges may include strong language. Therefore, the 17+ rating is essential and will likely not be well-received by many younger gamers. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is set in the late Ming Dynasty, a time when factions are in conflict and a hidden agenda transforms humans into monstrous beings. Players will embody Wuchang, a minor general struggling with the internal conflicts and challenges brought on by the calamity known as Feathering.

The objective of the game is to uncover the truth behind one’s own existence while simultaneously battling against the horrifying entities that inhabit this land. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
