This game, announced back in 2020, surprised everyone from the very beginning with its impressive graphical quality and mind-blowing gameplay, which impressed the entire gaming industry.

Black Myth Wukong’s core idea is for players to defeat various bosses and absorb their powers. This will unlock completely new gameplay with different mechanics for each power. The gameplay is very original.

With the official title release, both critics and the public seem to be praising the game for its gameplay and story. The Monkey King’s events in the game are slightly behind those in the novel.

The title refers to the protagonist as “The Destined One” rather than the Monkey King, demonstrating the clear influence of the literary novel in all aspects of the setting. This take on the popular novel is the most attractive aspect of the game.

Various analysts suggest that this game could serve as a direct sequel to the events in Journey to the West. In addition, previous rumors recommend that this is the first title in a future trilogy that the studio is planning.

Game Science is the studio that developed Black Myth Wukong. The game directly adapts many of the book’s enemies and main bosses. The development team has the opportunity to experiment with the material from the other books.

The Monkey King, also known as the Destined One, is a completely invented character, yet every other character in the book is an exact replica. The studio developed a completely original and entertaining version of this famous novel to adapt all its characters.

Everything indicates that there will be much more to say in the coming years, depending on the game’s success.

Most likely, Black Myth Wukong will sell very well due to the favorable reviews, and the studio might decide to release future projects continuing this story.

Obviously, the original material has much to offer, and the aesthetics have appealed to the majority of players and critics in general, making it clear that the overall IP has outstanding potential for the future and that beyond the saturation of this genre, there is room for positive representatives.
