According to a recent report by the Chinese gaming webzine GamerSky, Leenzee, the developer of 'Ming: The Feather of Void'—a title released last summer with high hopes that it might become the next 'Black Myth: Wukong'—has effectively disbanded.

Following its release in late July last year, 'WUCHANG' received poor reviews due to lackluster optimization and overall polish. While the optimization issues were addressed through several updates, a subsequent 1.5 patch altered the main story, drawing criticism for narrative inconsistencies and direction that felt disconnected from the game's core themes.

Despite this, the team continued to push out updates, reaching version 1.7 in November, but they were ultimately unable to turn public sentiment around.

GamerSky reported that the game's director, Xia Siyuan, had already been laid off before the Chinese New Year. The remaining development team members were reportedly offered the chance to transition to an outsourcing studio, but after they refused, the entire team was dissolved.

Meanwhile, various international media outlets, including those in the West, are pointing to the dissolution of Leenzee—alongside news of personnel restructuring at Nexon's Khazan team—as evidence of the high risks currently facing the gaming industry. Analysts suggest that with rising interest rates following the pandemic and intensifying market competition, a single failure can now lead directly to a studio's collapse, with Leenzee serving as a prime example.
