Fancy a Feather-Brained Frenzy? Wuchang: Fallen Feathers' PC Specs Won't Break the Bank (or Your Rig)
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
*Wuchang: Fallen Feathers*, a new soulslike with plague-ridden bird-people, has released its PC system requirements, and they're surprisingly reasonable, meaning more of us can join in the feathered fray. Get ready to hack and slash your way through some bird-brained baddies!
Right then, so there's this new soulslike on the horizon called *Wuchang: Fallen Feathers*, and it's got birds. Not just any birds, mind you, but plague-ridden, monstrous bird-people. Think Bloodborne, but with more…feathers. And a pirate protagonist. Naturally.
Published by 505 Games and coming out on July 24th, *Wuchang* puts you in the shoes (or boots, more likely) of Wuchang, an amnesiac pirate swordswoman during the Ming Dynasty. Your mission? Hack and slash your way through hordes of these feathered fiends before you, too, succumb to the, ahem, *Feathering* disease. Sounds delightfully grim, doesn't it?
Now, the important bit: can your rig handle it? Turns out, the developers at Leenzee aren't asking for the moon. Here’s the lowdown on the system requirements:
**Minimum:**
* Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system * OS: Windows 10 64-bit * Processor: Intel Core i5-8400/AMD Ryzen 5 1600 * Memory: 16GB RAM (dual channel recommended) * Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB * DirectX: Version 12 * Storage: 60 GB available space (HDD Supported, SSD Recommended)
**Recommended:**
* Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system * OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit * Processor: Intel Core i7-9700/AMD Ryzen 5 5500 * Memory: 16GB RAM (dual channel recommended) * Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT/Intel Arc A750 * DirectX: Version 12 * Storage: 60 GB available space (SSD Required)
Not too shabby, eh? Looks like most gaming PCs from the last few years should be able to handle it, especially if you're willing to tweak the settings a bit. The recommended specs aren’t *that* terrifying. The game also seems to be using DLSS if you're running an Nvidia card, which is nice.
The plot, as far as I can gather, involves using something called "Red Mercury" to unlock new techniques and enchanting your weapons to inflict maximum bird-bashing carnage. As you piece together Wuchang's memories, your choices will apparently lead to multiple endings. So, choose your allies wisely, mate.
While it's not trying to sneak in any Web3 nonsense (as far as I can see), this game looks genuinely intriguing, and the fact that it doesn't require a supercomputer to run is a massive win in my book. Consider me cautiously optimistic. Time to dust off that katana and prepare for some feathery foes!
