Black Myth: Wukong is an action role-playing game that closely follows the events of Wu Cheng\u2019en\u2019s seminal novel <\/span><\/span>Journey to the West<\/span><\/span>. The work, based on Chinese mythology and Buddhist folklore, follows a monk who meets a spirit called Sun Wukong, often called Monkey King, during his search for sacred religious texts. While its central narrative is still unknown, Game Science\u2019s upcoming Soulslike depicts Wukong\u2019s encounters with Yaoguai, various creatures and demons in Chinese myth, set within stunning Eastern landscapes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n My hands-on demo begins at the base of Black Wind Mountain\u2019s summit, in a place called the Forest of Wolves, populated with rich greenery, alpine trees, and all manner of wind-weathered stones and shrines. The path to the top is guarded by scattered groups of foxes and wolf-like humanoids who wield axes, shields, and bows. While these enemies aren\u2019t challenging, they serve as great punching bags to learn combat fundamentals like dodging, charged-up staff techniques, and early spells like Immobilize, which freezes enemies in place for a burst-attack opportunity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nBlack Myth: Wukong Release Date Trailer:<\/h2>\n
