Oh man, have you heard about Wuchang: Fallen Feathers? Yeah, it’s that new game coming out and folks are buzzing — real buzz kinda feeling. Okay, so Chinese developer Leenzee is behind it, and it’s all wrapped up in the Ming Dynasty vibe. Why does that sound so cool? I dunno, maybe it’s just the thought of running around ancient China in a virtual realm that got me hooked. Anyway — wait, where was I going with this?
Right, so every time this game makes an appearance, people lose their minds a little. We’re inching closer to launch day, which is like this universal “just breathe!” moment for gamers. The developer just dropped some last-minute juicy details. Honestly, I didn’t even know I was waiting for these, but there you go.
So, the grand entrance is set for July 24, and that includes PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Oh, and it’s on Game Pass right from the get-go. Sweet, right? Anyway, picture this: I’m there, wondering if my somewhat-ancient PC can handle it. Turns out, it might! The game doesn’t need the latest space-age tech like, uh, that other one — Black Myth: Wukong or something. Not throwing shade; both look rad, but, you know, different strokes.
Jumping to the real nerdy stuff now. Leenzee shared both minimum and recommended specs for PC. But — get this — they kinda skipped telling us about framerate and resolution goals. Frustrating or freeing? Depends on your mood, I guess. Heads up though, the specs were tested with DLSS/FSR upscaling enabled. Keep that tucked away in your mind palace.
Alright, here comes the techie breakdown:
Minimum Specs
- OS: Windows 10, 64bit (good ol’ stable choice, no?)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600.
- RAM: 16GB (they say dual channel’s best, but do your thing)
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB.
- DirectX: 12.
- Storage: 60GB (okay, that’s not small potatoes)
- Extra bit: HDD works, but SSD’s preferred (no surprise there)
Recommended Specs
- OS: Windows 10/11, 64bit.
- CPU: Intel i7-9700, AMD Ryzen 5 5500.
- RAM: 16GB (yep, dual channel again)
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, or Intel Arc A750.
- DirectX: 12.
- Storage: 60GB.
- Pro tip: SSD required. Fair enough.
