Black Myth: Wukong brings a Chinese literary legend to the forefront of modern gaming. Developed by Game Science, the Chinese indie studio known for Art of War: Red Tides and 100 Heroes, this action RPG blends Souls-like combat with rich storytelling drawn from the 16th-century masterpiece Journey to the West.
You take on the role of Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King whose name many Western players may recognize through global adaptations such as "Son Goku." Revered as a mythic trickster and warrior, Sun Wukong possesses extraordinary powers: superhuman strength, lightning-quick agility, cloud-leaping traversal, and an array of transformative abilities. Central to his arsenal is the iconic Ruyi Jingu Bang, a magical iron staff capable of shifting its size and weight at will, allowing for devastating and dynamic combat.
In Black Myth: Wukong, these abilities aren't just lore, they shape gameplay. Players can shift forms to overcome enemies and explore the world in creative ways.
The world itself is brought to life with next-generation visuals and meticulous attention to Chinese folklore. Players encounter a diverse roster of mythological creatures, from ancient demons and corrupted spirits to majestic gods and monstrous beasts, each reimagined with stunning detail. Dynamic weather, lush forests, haunted ruins, and sacred temples create an atmosphere that blends realism with fantasy.
As Sun Wukong battles his way through legions of soldiers, supernatural entities, and iconic figures from Journey to the West, the game explores themes of destiny, self-discovery, and the true nature of heroism. With its fusion of traditional Chinese culture, cutting-edge technology, and challenging action-RPG gameplay, Black Myth: Wukong stands as one of the most modern and visually ambitious interpretations of the Monkey King legend to date.
