Wuchang Fallen Feathers release date and when you can slash across the new soulslike adventure

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is poised to deliver a fresh wave of soulslike action across the land of Chu, and Xbox fans might have the opportunity to play it without any additional cost.

The soulslike genre, the gameplay style that just seems to keep going, is going even further yet again. FromSoftware's creation has taken flight, reaching various corners of the gaming industry, with numerous developers keen to incorporate the genre into their own creations.

The sharp and responsive combat of Where Winds Meet's July beta (which you can try out in its beta this month) has players eagerly anticipating a new, truly challenging experience, and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers appears ready to rise to the occasion.

This new soulslike game, set in the land of Chu during the Ming Dynasty, seems primed to offer players a fresh dose of frenzied sword-fighting action as Wuchang, an amnesiac pirate warrior afflicted with Feathering disease. The game appears shrouded in mystery, but even so, the prospect of slicing enemies to bits with a sword is more than enough to entice many potential fans, even if they don't plan to engage deeply with the game's storyline. It's good news, too, that players across Xbox, PlayStation and beyond are getting the chance to get stuck in.

Fortunately, the game's release is imminent – and fans on a certain console could be about to get it at no extra cost. Here's what you need to know about the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers release date.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers release date

The release date for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is slated for Thursday, July 24 at 3am local time globally, with the exception of the United States. This release timing has been disclosed by the game's page on the PlayStation Store.

As is typical with global launches like this, the game will be available for players in the United States at 3am EDT on the East Coast, and whatever that time translates to in their specific regions, which is 12am PDT / 2am CDT. It's an unusual setup for game releases, but at least in this instance it is designed to allow all players to dive in when they wake up on the morning of Thursday, July 24.

The game is set to debut on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Fortunately for Xbox players, the game will also be arriving on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on the release day at no additional cost, meaning that if you're a subscriber, you'll have access to the game the moment it goes live.

Soulslike action is always a hit, and given the success that Black Myth: Wukong managed to garner, there's a high probability that Wuchang: Fallen Feathers could be the next big sensation. Brace yourself for a hefty dose of brutal bosses.
