Global publisher 505 Games has signed a contract to develop and distribute the next entry in the Wuchang series. This collaboration is being conducted in partnership with the Chinese game developer Chengdu Recursive Dolphin Technology (brand name Indolphinity), which was founded by the creator of 'Wuchang: Fallen Feathers', Shiya Shu-Yuan.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, which was released on July 24, 2025, has established itself as a prominent Soulslike action RPG, recording over 131,000 concurrent players on Steam and attracting five million players across PC and console platforms worldwide. Following Digital Bros Group's acquisition of the Wuchang IP in April, both companies have finalized the development direction for the sequel.

Under this agreement, Indolphinity will lead the creative development of the new title, while 505 Games will provide funding and handle global distribution. The development team remains based in China, maintaining close cooperation with the original creator. Furthermore, Digital Bros Group is strengthening its investment in the Chinese game development ecosystem by establishing a dedicated subsidiary in Chengdu to support development and distribution.

Digital Bros Group Co-CEO Raffaele Galante stated, "We firmly believe in the long-term value of Wuchang as a global franchise, and this partnership with Shiya Shu-Yuan and Indolphinity is a natural step toward building that future. Our primary goal has been to protect and enhance the original creative vision while providing the team with the necessary resources and distribution expertise to achieve global success. We are fully committed to ensuring the IP's cultural authenticity and keeping the creative core within China, while bringing the world of Wuchang to players everywhere."

Indolphinity founder Shiya Shu-Yuan said, "I am thrilled to start this deep collaboration with 505 Games once again under the new studio name, Indolphinity. As a team composed of developers based in mainland China, we have always believed that our rich cultural heritage is the essence and competitive edge of our games. The way 505 Games respects the creative process and genuinely understands the needs of developers aligns perfectly with our values, and this shared vision gives us great confidence in the long-term future of the series."
