Black Myth Wukong is one of those games that you listen to every once in a while and think, “Oh yes, this game looks great, I wonder when it will be, regardless, that it will be released. “Years go by. From time to time a trailer or gameplay sequences appear, but it is very far away, like a wave that reaches the sea.
When you realize that the game is coming out in less than two weeks, it comes as a bit of a shock. Black Myth Wukong will be released for PC and PS5 on August 20, which is just around the corner.
Chinese developer GAMESCIENCE has released a final trailer to generate some hype for the Souls-like kung fu action RPG, and it’s actually one of the most impressive video game trailers I’ve seen in a long time.
That’s pretty epic, right? Everything in this trailer works. You see the beautiful and sprawling world and all its old furry monsters and dancing monkeys. You get a sense of fighting against enemies and general bosses (or at least much larger enemies). The music sets the tone, and then the trailer begins. all crazy with monkeys jumping in front of the camera, drums playing, giant magical beasts, blood-drinking cats, snakes crawling. . . I’m impressed. Whether or not the game was a success, it was a very clever trailer.
The game’s story has its roots in Chinese mythology and in the “Journey to the West”, one of the 4 wonderful ancient novels of Chinese literature. You play as “Fate” in an excellent and dangerous quest to uncover long-lost truths.
I’m not sure if Black Myth Wukong will have the same diversity or intensity of gameplay as Elden Ring, but it actually turns out that it satisfies the same itch. Fans of Sekiro, Ghost Of Tsushima, Niro, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and other similar games will find anything we’re excited about here. I can’t wait to play.
You can check out the game and its PC formula needs on its Steam page.
