Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Under Fire for "Censorship" Patch

A recent patch for the soulslike title Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has sparked controversy within its player base. The update makes significant changes to several boss and NPC encounters, most notably by making certain historical Chinese figures unkillable. Instead of dying after a fight, these characters now simply "faint from exhaustion" and become non-hostile. According to community discussions, this change was reportedly made in response to criticism from a segment of Chinese players who were offended by the portrayal and defeat of historical heroes. Many players outside of China are disappointed, arguing that the changes create plot holes and undermine the game's narrative and challenge, with some even calling for a localized version that reverts to the original content.
