The developer behind Soulslike action-RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has reportedly dissolved its core team following the departure of producer and director Xia Siyuan. Staff were asked to shift to outsourcing or support roles on other projects, but most declined. The game has received no updates since November 2025.
Producer and director Xia Siyuan left Leenzee before the Lunar New Year period, according to reports from SavePoint Gaming and backed by Chinese site Gamersky. The studio has not officially confirmed the exit or the team's dissolution. This move came despite the game's financial success last year, even if critics gave it mixed reviews, such as Eurogamer's three-star assessment praising its dazzling landmarks, frantic combat, and inspired dying mechanics as fun novelties. Leenzee instructed developers to pivot to outsourcing or support work tied to other projects. Most staff refused, leading to the breakup of the core team responsible for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. The game, launched last year, has remained without updates since November 20, 2025, and the studio has stayed quiet amid its apparent commercial achievements. The future of the IP remains uncertain, with no clarity on potential story expansions, DLC, or patches. However, Xia Siyuan has formed a new studio and plans to remain in the games industry.
