Developer Leenzee has launched a fresh update for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers on both PC and consoles, delivering various performance upgrades and bug rectifications to this popular Soulslike game. Despite its acclaim, recent decisions from the studio have led to some discontent among players. However, many are hopeful that the game will navigate through this turbulent phase successfully.

Hours after its initial release, the game achieved over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, impressing users with its combat mechanics, intricate level designs, and challenging boss encounters. The addition of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers as a day one release on Xbox Game Pass in July significantly expanded its player base. Yet, an important update released on August 12 triggered backlash and review bombing due to unpopular gameplay changes and revisions to the game’s narrative, which many believe were aimed at appeasing certain Chinese fans dissatisfied with the game’s historical portrayal.

Following this controversial update, Leenzee has rolled out a smaller, yet crucial patch aimed at enhancing the game’s performance, especially on the PC version. It introduces a new ‘Nvidia Reflex Low Latency’ option to optimize settings for improved stability. Console players will benefit from fixes related to unlocking achievements and issues concerning PS5 controller inputs.

Despite these updates, no statements have been made by the studio concerning changes to the storyline or gameplay mechanisms of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
