Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Sequel Confirms Protagonist, Dev on Backlash
Xia Siyuan, the developer behind Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (《明末：渊虚之羽》), has confirmed that the protagonist Wuchang will return as the lead character in the game’s sequel. The statement came during a recent interview with Chinese gaming media, in which Xia also discussed the controversy that surrounded the original release, including personal attacks he faced. While details on the sequel remain scarce, the confirmation gives fans a clear anchor for what lies ahead. The interview also offered a glimpse into how the team intends to approach feedback and shape future development.
Asked how Wuchang and the series’ world would be handled in the sequel, Xia said: “Wuchang will continue as the protagonist. We have many plans for Wuchang’s future journey, and we very much hope to bring everyone more information. However, since development is still in its early stages, we will share more content as soon as the time is right.” No release window or platform details were mentioned, and the project remains in early development for now.
Xia also reflected on the backlash the original game received, noting that some people launched personal attacks against him during that period. Recalling the experience, he said: “At the time, I was more focused on my own personal safety and on completing what I needed to do.” His response was measured rather than combative, acknowledging the difficulty of that chapter without dwelling on the specifics of the criticism directed at the game.
On how the story and dialogue might be adjusted going forward, Xia took a thoughtful stance: “For games, everyone’s views are different. What we can do is collect as much feedback as possible and dig into the internal and essential causes behind it, using that as a reference for making games in the future.” The team appears committed to listening, even if concrete changes remain unannounced. This careful, feedback-driven approach bodes well for the sequel, and it is one to watch for fans of the series.
