Every Black Myth: Wukong Gameplay Feature Revealed So Far

Maybe some stubborn people just don’t want to engage with the game’s RPG mechanics. Maybe they got used to hammering away at a fight until they perfected it and didn’t need to spend time grinding levels or tailoring their builds, and now they resent having to adapt to a fight rather than overcome it through sheer will. I don’t know, I’m just a tourist, but what I do know is that if you’re unhappy with Erdtree’s difficulty, you need to stay far away from Black Myth: Wuk


Hardcore Soulslike fans are very protective of the genre, to the point that they refuse to label any game that might be too easy or accessible a Soulslike. Even Elden Ring , 2022's Game of the Year , threw some fans of the genre for a loop, as many thought it was far too accessible to be considered a true Soulslike experience. That is because difficulty is one of the most defining characteristics of the Soulslike ge


Wukong also doesn’t have a parry, so dodging is your only means of avoiding damage. There are different kinds of dodges, though. One of the stances allows you to climb on top of your staff and sit there out of range while the boss leaps around, then leap off the staff and come down on the fiend's head with one big strike. That will work against some bosses, but more commonly you’re just expected to dodge, dodge, and dodge ag


Game Science, the independent Chinese developer behind the highly-anticipated Soulslike Black Myth: Wukong , provided a release date for the studio's upcoming title during The Game Awards 2023. At the time, the company announced that the action RPG would release on August 20, 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Although Game Science did reaffirm its committment to launching the title on this date during 2024's Summer Game Fest, the Black Myth: Wukong developer shared bad news for Xbox fans , as it announced that the Series X/S port of the upcoming Soulslike would not launch on the same day as the PS5 and PC versions due to optimization issues. Game Science's abrupt decision to delay the Xbox port has led to rampant speculation on the matter, but fortunately, Microsoft has stepped in to provide some clar


I’ve been watching a lot of Elden Ring clips this week, visit Blackmythwukongfans.com here >> especially the ones that include commentary about the player feeling frustrated or demoralized. What I’m seeing most often is bosses that chain together multiple attacks that force you to dodge with perfect timing over and over. It feels like you should be rewarded with an opening to counter attack when you time a dodge perfectly, but Erdtree’s bosses like to dance around, striking repeatedly, and force you to dodge three, four, sometimes five attacks in a row before you have a chance to coun


Windows Central's own Jez Corden made note of Microsoft's refusal to comment on the potential deals that Game Science might have made with other companies. The reputable insider took this as a sign that the Xbox manufacturer could be insinuating that there's some sort of third-party exclusivity deal in place for Black Myth: Wukong . Corden elaborated on this suggestion of his, stating that he became aware "of whispers and rumors while out in LA" to attend the FanFest event for 2024's well-received Xbox Games Showcase that "Game Science had actually taken some form of exclusivity deal with PlayStation for Black Myth: Wukon


As a casual bystander, the Elden Ring discourse is puzzling to me. Evidently, Shadow of the Ertree is really hard and some people are pretty frustrated about it. My social media is filled with complaints, I’ve seen a few streamers having meltdowns about, and Asmongold quit playing it, saying he could beat it if he wanted to, but it’s so hard that it’s not

If you were planning to buy a physical copy of Black Myth: Wukong when the game launches in August , you might want to rethink that decision. Not because we think the game will be bad, in fact, it looks like another interesting entry in the Soulslike subgenre that's sprung up. But because the physical edition of the game won't have a disc at all.


As the first AAA release from developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong is an ambitious venture. Not only is the prospect of the studio's first AAA title exciting, but its source material offers plenty to be intrigued about. Based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West , Black Myth: Wukong is a retelling of the beloved story. There is a lot of hype surrounding Black Myth: Wukong , and the confirmed gameplay features that are set to appear in the game only make the anticipation that much grea

In an update shared online , developer Game Science shared the rationale behind such a decision along with information about how its physical copies will work. On the subject of the decision, Game Science had this to say:


The trailers for Black Myth: Wukong have confirmed that cloud traversal will play some sort of role in the game. To what extent cloud traversal will play is unclear, but it must play a decent-sized role for it to be featured in the trailer. Cloud traversal is another exciting feature Black Myth: Wukong has taken from Journey to the West , further demonstrating that the game seems to be staying pretty close to its source mater
