Wuchang: Fallen Feathers development team disbanded? – Game News

A surprising rumor has just surfaced regarding Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (Minh Mat: Uyen Hu Chi Vu) when the director and main producer of the project – Xia Siyuan, was said to have been fired, leading to the disbandment of the development team.

This incident is shocking the Chinese gaming community as this is one of the most anticipated key Soulslike projects in 2026.

+ Was the producer fired before Tet?

According to sources from the Chinese community, producer He Tu Nguyen has left the studio Linh Trach (Leenzee) developed before the Lunar New Year. This information initially appeared on Bilibili from a content creator with the alias “Zhenzi Guniang”, and was later confirmed by many other sources.

Some notable details:

• Ha Tu Nguyen left the company before Tet
• His personal condition is still stable and continues to make games
• Based on images searched from the business registration system (Tianyancha), Ha Tu Nguyen has now established a new company named “Cidre Games” (Tay Duc Loi). Notably, this company was registered at the end of 2025, showing that the rift between him and Leenzee’s management had been smoldering long before it exploded.

This makes the community worried about its future Wuchang: Fallen Feathers which is being highly anticipated.

+ The development team was disbanded?

After the producer left, the studio’s internal situation reportedly became tense. According to rumors, the company asked the team to switch to outsourcing, but an agreement was not reached.

The results are:

• The development team was disbanded.
• Personnel were massively cut back. According to revealed screenshots from internal conversations, the scale of layoffs could reach nearly 100 employees, including core animation and screen design departments.

• The most bitter is the information about bonuses. According to “scandals” from employees on the Gamersky site, after the game successfully launched and received great attention, the studio only rewarded each employee with a “ridiculous” amount of money: 100 Yuan (about 350,000 VND), along with a small gift box. Meanwhile, Project Bonuses amounting to tens of thousands of Yuan according to initial commitments were “blocked” and frozen by the management for the reason of “financial difficulties”.

• Notably, many former employees have spoken out to accuse Leenzee studio of long-term salary arrears (about 2 months’ salary) and not paying project bonuses as originally committed.
• Some employees are gathering documents to initiate labor lawsuits to reclaim their legitimate rights after being forced to work overtime for a long time (crunch) but not receiving compensation.

+ The future of the project is still unclear

Currently, development studio Linh Trach (Leenzee) is still keeping silent in response to questions from the press and has not made an official announcement. However, the producer leaving with the team disbanded could have a big impact Wuchang: Fallen Feathers in the future.

This is a pity because the game once attracted attention with its Souls-like role-playing action style, set in China during the late Ming period. Although the game has been released, bug fixes, optimizations, and especially promising expansion content (DLC) updates are currently “frozen” indefinitely.

With the current situation, the community is waiting for official information from the developer to know whether Wuchang: Fallen Feathers continue or not.
