Recently, Xia Siyuan, the producer of "Wuchang: Fallen Feathers," has once again appeared in the public eye, with before-and-after photos sparking heated discussion online. His current condition has significantly improved, and his demeanor has changed.
During the final push for the game's release in 2025, Xia Siyuan worked long hours staying up late, appearing haggard and exhausted on camera. In 2026, after completing the studio's restructuring and securing overseas partnerships, he cut his long hair. Though slimmer, his overall demeanor is much more relaxed. In an interview, he admitted to facing massive public controversy and offline harassment during the launch period. At that time, the team's top priority was ensuring personal safety while working hard to fix game versions and optimize story content. Now, his mindset is calmer and more mature.
In the comments section, some netizens remarked, "Last year he looked completely overwhelmed by stress; this year he looks much better. I hope he regains his confidence." "It's impressive that Xia Siyuan can continue developing games despite facing such intense negative backlash." "Great, his energy and spirit seem to have improved a lot, and he even got a new hairstyle."
