Oh boy, where do I even start with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers? It’s creeping closer to launch day, and yeah, everyone’s buzzing about it—another Soulslike, but this one’s got that Ming Dynasty flair thanks to Leenzee, a developer from China. I’ve stumbled onto their announcements a few times, and let me tell you, it always seems to grab attention. Not sure why it clicks, but people are on board.
So, what do we know now that we didn’t know before? Well, they finally dropped some PC specs, which is kind of vital, right? You sorta need to know if your rig can handle the excitement. It hits PCs, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on July 24, oh, and Game Pass users can snag it on day one, all casual-like.
First off, visually, Wuchang seems decent, for sure. But if you’re thinking it’s gonna push your system like Black Myth: Wukong, maybe not. It feels like they’ve gone for a more laid-back tech approach. Kinda like wearing comfy shoes instead of stilettos. Today, they spilled the beans about what your computer needs to get the game rolling.
Two sets of specs came out—the modest sort and the beefier "recommended" set. Mind you, they skipped letting us know what resolutions or framerates these aim for. But here’s a nugget: both were tested with upscaling tech (DLSS/FSR) on, which sounds important, right? Otherwise, how would we know if our PCs will keep up or just start a mini bonfire?
Alright, gearheads, here’s the lowdown:
Minimum Specs
- OS: Windows 10 64bit.
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600.
- RAM? 16GB, ideally dual channel.
- GPU: Something like Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 580 8GB.
- DirectX 12.
- Storage: 60GB. (You can go HDD but SSD is like hot fudge on a sundae.)
Recommended Specs
- OS options: Windows 10/11 64bit.
- CPU: Intel i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500. Spicy.
- RAM: Still at 16GB, go dual channel if you can.
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070/AMD RX 5700 XT, or Intel Arc A750.
- DirectX 12.
- Storage: A solid 60GB, SSD only, please.
Now, imagine someone trying to track launch times across the globe. Seems daunting? Here’s a snapshot:
- Los Angeles gets in early: July 23, 7pm.
- Jump to New York, and it’s 10pm, still same date.
- London gets a bleary-eyed 3am on July 24.
- Roll on to Tokyo, and they’re at 11am.
- Finally, Sydney checks it out at noon.
I could go on, but you get the point—different cities, same enthusiasm. Now, do I keep tabs on these things? Not really. But something about this game makes you peek over your coffee mug. Anyway—wait—did I mention it’ll be on Game Pass too? Yeah, I did. Just checking if you’re awake.
All in all, it’s lining up to be quite the ride. Are you excited? Who’s to say? But I’m keeping an eye out, just to see if it lives up to the murmurs.
