Setting and gameplay
Players will control Wuchang, a female pirate who awakens to amnesia and suffering in the final years of China’s Shu region, during the late Ming Dynasty, a chaotic era to say the least.
From here, the pirate will go on a quest to regain her memories, while also trying to unravel and stop a phenomenon known as Feathering that is causing mutations around Shu.
Wuchang will have to get through this epidemic while fighting cruel and twisted monsters with different combat styles, weapons, firearms and more.
In the most recent trailer, we could see Wuchang fighting, parrying, and even burning different enemies. She also seems able to harness magical powers such as lightning and darkness, as well as being skilled with explosives. As if that were not enough, she can even wield a vast array of incredible weapons, so players will have plenty of options to chose from.
The setting, gameplay, and art reminds us of various Soulslike games including Elden Ring, Black Myth: Wukong, Wo Long, and even Stellar Blade. So expect an exciting mix of all three when the game releases in 2025.
