Gear up for an epic journey! The highly anticipated action RPG, Black Myth: Wukong, is finally getting a release date. Chinese developer Game Science has announced the game will launch on August 20, 2024 for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.

Rooted in Chinese Legend:

Black Myth: Wukong draws inspiration from the classic 16th-century novel, Journey to the West. Players take on the role of the Monkey King, the legendary Sun Wukong, or simply “The Destined One.” The game promises to be a deep dive into Chinese mythology, with players facing formidable foes and uncovering hidden truths about the world.

Soulslike Challenge:

While details are still emerging, Black Myth: Wukong is expected to offer a challenging action RPG experience, with some comparing it to the popular “Soulslike” genre. This means players can expect intense combat, strategic use of items, and a world filled with both beauty and danger.

Xbox Fans Wait a Little Longer for Black Myth: Wukong:

Originally planned for a simultaneous launch across PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, the Xbox version has been delayed. Developer Game Science hasn’t provided a specific reason, but some speculate it might be due to optimization challenges for the Xbox Series S hardware.

Black Myth: Wukong Collector’s Edition Revealed:

To celebrate the upcoming release, Game Science also unveiled a special Collector’s Edition at Summer Game Fest 2024. Details are still under wraps, but fans can expect unique physical goodies alongside the game itself.

The wait is almost over! Black Myth: Wukong is poised to be a major release for action RPG fans. With its stunning visuals, epic story inspired by Chinese mythology, and challenging gameplay, it’s definitely a title to keep an eye on.
