Soulslikes! Who likes Soulslikes? You like Soulslikes, don’t you? Well, here’s another one: it’s called WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, and it’s coming to PS5. This one’s not to be confused with Black Myth: Wukong, Where Winds Meet, Phantom Blade Zero, or any other number of titles, like Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. This one’s totally unique!
“Set in the late Ming Dynasty, this Soulslike action RPG takes you on a journey through a cursed land filled with danger and mystery,” the description explains. “Play as Bai Wuchang, a pirate warrior cursed with Ornithropy, and uncover the secrets of your forgotten past. [The game] offers a challenging combat experience with multiple weapon categories and Ornithropy magic. Explore interconnected environments, encounter historical figures, and make choices that will shape the fate of Shu.”
It's due out in 2025.

Chinese stellar blade sign me up
Difficulty options and I'll be there day one.
I swear the next video game crash is gonna come from all of these Soulslikes.
All these games that been showcased recently with these same aesthetics look the same to me, I honestly can't tell them apart 🙁
Looks nice, kind of hope it's an action games like devil may cry 5 rather than souls like though. After japan and korea, now china is trying to make single player AAA console games, nice
This looked pretty cool. God damn the xbox showcase blew State of Play and SGF out of the water. There was a bunch of other games I hope come PS some day like Perfect Dark!
@Tecinthebrain Don't worry, it's our job to write about them and even we're struggling to tell which one's which.
Another title I can't way to try on GamePass.
I'm a sucker for games like this. Let's go
@ShogunRok In the future all videogames will either be Hoyoverse or Soulslikes. I actually read this as 1 long game title.
Black Myth: Wukong, Where Winds Meet, Phantom Blade Zero
Is it just me or are you guys busier today than the SoP day? 😂
Legit thought this was a sequel to Wo Long:Fallen Dynasty for a minute.
I was just joking elsewhere that since I just completed Stranger of Paradise, three more soulslike were bound to spawn into existence out of nowhere.
Well, here we are I guess. I more than welcome Wuchang into my endless Soulslike To Play list, though.
Soulslike? I'm out.
Man it seems like every game announced is a soulslike
Definition of irony: There are so many soulslike games, they became soulless
Man these titles are getting complicated.
But I tossed it on the ol' wishlist on Steam to keep an eye on it.
More like Sekiro imo and yes there is a difference.
Speaking of gritty asian developed souls-likes, nayone knows whatever happened to that one that was accused of stelaing animations from Bloodborne?
@Icey664 Xbox still has to prove that there first party output can actually be good. Everything that looked promising during the show is also coming to playstation. Hard to call that a real victory if I'm being honest.
The Wu Xia vibe feels a bit overwhelming for me after Phantom Blade Zero, Black Myth Wukong, Where Winds Meet, and now this. I must be forgot some games that recently announced and has Wu Xia vibe too.
But hey, at least there's more options to add beside Japan Samurai / Ninja, western, and sci-fi setting.
Female Onimusha/Devil May Cry/ StellarBlade all rolled into a game....
Nope, pure TRASH, nothing original in this...
Wu (Wo) Chang (Long)…
Looks interesting for sure. Keeping my eye on yet another one from this showcase for sure
This looks good. But no I don't like dark. I like light lol.
They ought to have just called it Nothing Is Forever. Way better title in my opinion.
@ThroughTheIris56 looks more hack n slash to me
when i saw this i was convinced its was a new Onimusha
@Enuo gears is coming to playstation? has that been confirmed?
I wish it was a traditional action game
So many of these games have a Bloodborne Lovecraftian aesthetic. Which is fine, but Sony has really dropped the ball not doing anything with the Bloodborne IP. Now there’s too many knock-offs.
@Gamer_X Don't care xbot enjoy RENTING the game also why are you here? your green group getting boring asf?
So it seems like hack and slash and crazy combo action games have become niche genres for some reason. As I have said multiple times why does every action need to be souls like its boring now. Been duped so many times last few weeks seeing these games in cool settings then show the combat as souls like. As others said this is the 6th or 7th similar looking setting game we have seen in 2 weeks surely a lot these will fail due to oversaturation.
Well, I am 100% the target for this type of game. No matter where it and all the others fall on the character action to souls-like continuum, I am a massive fan of combat that takes time to learn and good execution to pull off and I will be playing them all.
I do worry that there being so many of them will be a turn-off to the less serious fans of the genre that make up most of the sales though.
@ThroughTheIris56 Agreed. This needs to stop now. They're gonna drive everyone mental with these constant Souls-Like games.
