Wuchang: Fallen Feathers – System Requirements and Regional Unlock Times

You know that jittery feeling when you’re about to try something new, and it’s all you can think about? That’s kinda where I’m at with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Yeah, it’s another Soulslike game pouring out onto the scene — but hold on a sec — this one has got a Ming Dynasty vibe! Picture this: a Chinese developer, Leenzee, is spearheading this action-packed RPG, and honestly, it just feels fresh.

From what I’ve seen (and maybe my eyes were playing tricks), the buzz around this game is super positive. Every time it pops up, people just seem… happy? Or maybe I’m projecting. Anyway, with launch day creeping up, they’ve finally dropped some last-minute tidbits about what we can expect.

So, mark your calendar. July 24 is D-Day for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S folks. Lucky for you, it’s landing on Game Pass for both PC and Xbox right from the get-go. That’s sweet, right? However, if you’ve got a potato for a PC like me, you’ve probably been sweating over whether it’ll run smoothly.

I mean, Wuchang looks killer, but let’s get real. It’s not exactly chock-full of the latest razzle-dazzle graphics wizardry like some other Chinese RPGs (ahem, Black Myth: Wukong). So, breathe easy, because it turns out your rig doesn’t have to be bleeding edge. Their spec reveal? A total chill pill.

Now if you’re like me and specs make your eyes glaze over, here’s the rundown: They didn’t clarify framerate or resolution goals, which is, let’s say, “interesting.” Both minimum and recommended were tested with DLSS/FSR. Whatever that all means, right? Maybe I’ll Google it later… or not.

Here’s the techie stuff — Minimum specs are Windows 10, Intel Core i5-8400/AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPUs, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB/RX 580 8GB GPUs. Recommended bumps to Win 10/11, i7-9700/Ryzen 5 5500, same RAM, but RTX 2070/RX 5700 XT GPUs. Yeah, that’s a mouthful. Both need 60GB storage. PS: An SSD is more or less a must.

Onto more fun stuff, the global launch timings! Los Angeles kicks it off July 23 at 7pm. Fast forward to New York at 10pm. Londoners? Set your alarms for 3am on the 24th — if you’re planning an all-nighter, caffeine might become your new best friend.

Each spot across the globe has its own launch time — from Tokyo (July 24, 11am) to Sydney (July 24, noon). Find your city, grab some snacks, and get in game on the 24th. No idea why these times stick out to me; maybe I’m secretly envious of the folks down under who get this at lunchtime.

So yeah, it’s happening soon, and, I dunno, maybe I’m overthinking it, but this game’s got me kinda stoked. Or distracted. Who knows.
