Bizarre Wuchang: Fallen Feathers patch un-murders historical Chinese characters in massive retcon, makes the game way easier, and breaks a whole chapter: "Faint from exhaustion? Are they Pokemon?"

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers patch 1.5 arrived on PC on August 12, and rather than discourse around game balance versus quality-of-life features, it's ignited blowback over a narrative retcon that's also gutted portions of the gameplay.

Players soon learned that this update made several bosses based on historical Chinese figures unkillable. Instead, these bosses now faint from "exhaustion" after you beat them, as the patch notes rather opaquely hint.
