Four years after Game Science first revealed a teaser of Black Myth: Wukong, the much-awaited action RPG is finally out to play. Inspired by one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature, Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong has been on wishlists for years.
The game puts the players into the shoes of the “Destined One,” an anthropomorphic monkey from Mount Huaguo on a quest to find the Relics of the Monkey King Sun Wukong. Who doesn’t want to be a combat-trained monkey on a long journey across China?
But apart from its glamorous roots in Chinese mythology, the stunning visuals, excellent combat and gameplay, and soulslike elements have been the best-selling points of the game. The story is told throughout six chapters, where the player ventures into the challenges and marvels ahead to recover the six Relics.
Additionally, players will witness several cultural and natural landmarks derived from the real world, including the Guangsheng Temple, the Stork Tower, the Iron Buddha Temple, and more. Now if you’re intrigued, here’s where you can play the game and judge for yourself:
