Black Myth: Wukong has resurfaced at Gamescom Opening Night Live, bringing with it a new trailer that shows off more of the game’s magical folklore action.
This latest look at Black Myth: Wukong strikes an eerie mood from the very start, as a headless musician plays a tune. We see Wukong journeying through various locations, including a desert region where he comes face to face with a blood-drinking tiger beast. From there we get more looks at the game’s stylish combat, as Wukong battles a variety of massive foes ranging from insectoid creatures to large, troll-like enemies. It all culminates in a battle with a demonic-looking foe set against the backdrop of a blood red moon.
First announced more than three years ago, Black Myth: Wukong is an action-RPG based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West. Updates on the game have been sporadic, but early footage for the impressive-looking game gained it a following online. One of several games built using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 technology, Black Myth: Wukong takes a Dark Souls-inspired approach to its gameplay and is developed by Chinese studio Game Science.
