Chinese developer Game Science has published a short but sweet new trailer for its debut action RPG title, Black Myth: Wukong.
As you might remember, the game was first unveiled in August 2020 with a gorgeous video that showcased 13 minutes of gameplay. However, at that time, Game Science admitted there was still a lot of work to do, and the video was meant more as a recruiting tool than anything else.
In early 2021, we learned that the team was targeting a 2023 release window. At Gamescom 2021, Game Science confirmed Black Myth: Wukong was being made with Epic's Unreal Engine 5. Eventually, the development team delayed their debut title to 2024, and we now know the game is set to launch on August 20 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. On PC, the game will support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 (including Ray Reconstruction) and full path tracing.
Black Myth: Wukong is inspired by Journey to the West, the Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is considered one of the greatest Classic Chinese Novels and may even be the most popular Asian novel of all time.
As the Destined One, players will roam through a land steeped in mythology, encountering various powerful foes. Players will also master various staff techniques and freely combine different spells, abilities, weapons, and equipment to find the winning strategy that best suits their combat style.
