Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Welcomes New Day-One Soulslike Featuring Unique Death Mechanic

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Adds Day-One Title

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has recently included Wuchang: Fallen Feathers—a day-one release that expands the service’s content catalog. Developed by Lenzee Games, this soulslike RPG is set in 17th-century China, during the last years of the Ming dynasty. The story revolves around an amnesiac pirate afflicted by the Feathering Disease, which drives its victims insane.

Initially unveiled in September 2021, Wuchang was confirmed as part of Xbox Game Pass during the June 2024 showcase. It became accessible on July 24, 2025, leading fans eager with its unique gameplay style and invigorating mechanics. Unlike typical death penalties seen in similar games, players only lose a fraction of experience, dictated by the character’s Madness rating.

The game’s reviews have been generally positive, highlighting the dynamic combat and the intriguing death mechanic. However, critiques have emerged regarding its derivative elements and fluctuating difficulty levels.

Key Features:

Release Date: July 24, 2025
Platforms: Xbox Series X/S, Cloud, and PC
