Black Myth: Wukong is an upcoming AAA action-adventure game developed by Game Science. The game has not set a definitive release date but is hoping to release on the next-generation consoles. The game retells the story from The Journey to the West, a famous mythological tale. 

Currently, there is a thirteen-minute trailer up on Youtube that has gotten a lot of traction both in the Chinese and western markets. The game trailer hasย over 10 million viewsย on Chinaโ€™s video streaming website Bilibili and about 4 million views on YouTube. Black Myth: Wukong is similar to titles such asย Ghost of Tsushimaย or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The storytelling mechanic is nearly the same. Players who are interested in story enriched games should try Black Myth: Wukong.ย 

Wukong, the Monkey King, has impressive shape-shifting capabilities. He is outfitted with this legendary and famous staff. In the trailer, players can notice that Wukong transforms into an insect, hinting at other animal shape-shifting abilities. He plays remarkably similar to that of the legend; only time will tell whether the game will stay true to all of the qualities of Sun Wukong. A Triple-A title like Black Myth: Wukong seems promising for the Chinese gaming community as most of the games created within that community are usually popular mobile games such as PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. Having a story based mythological game can expand the horizons of casual and mobile players into more rugged and deep story-based video games.

With the Unreal Engine, Black Myth: Wukong looks very promising with vibrant graphics that compete on the level of some of the most graphically intense video games currently on the market. While Black Myth: Wukong seems to be releasing far after the initial release of the next-generation consoles, it will be fascinating to see how Game Science uses the new hardware and capabilities of the new consoles against their competitors. 

The gaming scene hasnโ€™t received many mythological story games in recent months, Black Myth: Wukong may be able to shed some light on the genre as a whole, giving everyone a new experience. If Black Myth: Wukong plays anywhere near to the likes of Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the gaming community will once again have a great story-based game with intense gameplay and graphics, a new sight and change of pace to enjoy.
