How long will it take to finish Black Myth: Wukong?
In an interview with IGN, Game Producer Feng Ji confirmed that Black Myth: Wukong would require “at least 15 hours of playtime” to complete. It wasn’t elaborated whether this was just to tackle the game’s story or whether that was for a completionist run, however.
Feng Ji also stated that to ensure players stayed “excited during the gameplay and boss fights”, Black Myth: Wukong would feature “over a hundred” different enemy types. While 15 hours may sound short to some, the proposed variety will hopefully keep it engaging.
Leaks reported by Insider Gaming claim the game will feature “around 160 enemy types” and “80+ bosses.” It is also expected to have New Game Plus at launch and three different endings.
Multiple playthroughs to secure the game’s different endings will likely push your total playthrough well past the estimated 15 hours.
Black Myth: Wukong will be released on August 20, 2024, on PlayStation and PC. As more information on projections for completionist runs becomes available, we’ll update this article.
