Wuchang: Fallen Feathers’ core gameplay loop is fantastic, earning it a place among the best Soulslikes of 2025. That said, players, especially those on PC, like to use mods to customize the experience to suit their personal preferences.
Fortunately, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is made in Unreal Engine 5, a known quantity among modders. While certainly not the friendliest of engines for modding, those experienced in the field have a wealth of experience to fall back on owing to other UE5 games like Black Myth: Wukong, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Palworld. Certain basic mods can even be ported wholesale from one UE5 title to another; a one-size-fits-all solution that kick-starts the scene as soon as a game releases.
