What is Black Myth: Wukong?
Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG created by the Chinese studio Game Science. The story is set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Chinese legends and myths, based on the 16th-century classical Chinese novel Journey to the West.
In the game, you play as the Destined One (based on the character Sun Wukong from the novel), the Monkey King, who embarks on a journey to uncover the mystery behind a certain legend.
Due to its camera work and challenging encounters, the game is classified as a representative of the soulslike subgenre. How long will the game be? The developers promise a minimum of 15 hours for the main storyline.
Release and Marketing – When Will We See the Release?
On August 20, 2020, the developer released the first trailer for the game in the pre-alpha build. The game was initially created using Unreal Engine 4 (though its final version is based on Unreal Engine 5) and showcased a glimpse of gameplay and the created world.
The video garnered 2 million views on YouTube and over 10 million views on Bilibili (a Chinese video platform). Players fell in love with the title then and have been closely following its development progress.
After releasing the first trailer, the studio promised to complete the game no earlier than in three years. In 2023, they officially confirmed the release for the following year.
With the release scheduled for August 20, 2024, the game will be available on PC and PlayStation 5. Due to optimization on the platform, the release on Xbox Series X has been delayed, and its official date is not yet known.
The game is available for preorder on Steam, PS Store, and of course, on our marketplace at an attractive price!
