The new 1.5 patch for WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, bringing gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and crash fixes.
Main Changes and Fixes:
Better protection after knockdowns – Wuchang now has slightly more invincibility time when getting up, so enemies can’t hit you too soon.
- Faster healing – Healing animation is a bit quicker, and you can now dodge right after drinking to recover health.
- NPC and AI updates – Tweaked animations, values, and level design. Added new NPC dialogues to complete certain story parts. Fixed a Chapter 4 bug affecting two endings (“Bound by Fate’s Threads” and “Dream’s Sweet Deceit”).
- Text and audio changes – Updated descriptions for some items, added new voice lines for Wuchang and NPCs.
- Controller fix – You can now set all buttons in the controller remapping menu.
- Inventory fix – Fixed a bug where the Buddha statue could disappear if you force-quit the game after placing it in Chapter 1.
- Item function fix – Benediction and Jade Pendant combos now work properly in NG+ mode.
- Terrain fixes – Fixed spots where the player could get stuck.
- Elevator improvements – Reduced wait time and fixed an issue in Chapter 5 where players could get stuck inside. Elevator speed while waiting is now three times faster.
Combat tweaks –
- Lowered the resistance of some monsters, making light weapon attacks more effective early on.
- Later monsters can now be interrupted with spells or skills, allowing combo follow-ups.
- Increased time between spike trap activations.
- Reduced landmine damage in Chapters 2 & 3.
- Reduced number of landmines in Chapter 3.
- Future content prep – Adjustments made for upcoming Deluxe Edition content, including traditional armor sets like Wei/Jin dynasty designs.
- Respawn options – Preparing to let players choose to respawn at either the Shrine or the Boss Entrance after death.
- Pick-up effects – Improving the visual effect when collecting Red Mercury Essence.
Crash Fixes:
