Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Has the Potential to Be the Next Big Soulslike
Studios aiming to establish a unique identity within the Soulslike genre are embracing and revitalizing FromSoft’s three key design principles: world creation, storytelling, and combat mechanics. For instance, Lies of P introduced an original “Lie” system for narrative influence and Legion Arm combat customization. Last year’s hit game Black Myth: Wukong aimed to be cutting-edge within the sub-genre, with its creators touting it as something novel – possibly even “Black Myth”-esque – to differentiate their creation from FromSoftware’s previous titles.
