A new play video and game cutscene video of the popular Chinese game ‘Black Myth: Wukong’, which is attracting attention from people around the world, has been released. It has been exactly one year since the release of the gameplay video from last year.
Game Science, a Chinese developer, released gameplay videos and game cutscenes, respectively, on the official Nvidia GeForce YouTube channel and Black Myth: Wukong’s official YouTube channel on the 20th. The play video is 8 minutes long and contains new boss monsters, unique combat methods, and how the game progresses.
In particular, in this video, you can see Wukong using various swords to destroy enemies, escape from crisis, and discover new paths, in addition to the soul-like-style battles previously shown. For example, using clones to escape from a boss in the shape of a stone Buddha, or leaving a clone while evading to disturb the enemy. In addition, it can transform into a stone monkey to block powerful attacks, attack by extending the baton, and secure attack time by using magic that immobilizes the enemy. The transformation technique shown before is still alive and well.
In addition to combat, we could also check the item system such as shrines and equipment that acted like a dark soul bonfire along with the gathering system. Foods such as herbs and mushrooms obtained through gathering restore stamina or give resistance to enemy attacks. Each item has a rating, and it seems that how this part works in the game will be the key.
In the cutscene video released on the developer’s official YouTube channel, the beauties that are presumed to be the spider ghosts of Bansangdong appearing in the main story of Journey to the West appear. Sisters talking about marriage and an old woman called mother appear, and they can handle spiders freely in their hands. The old woman who appeared at the end said to start the festival, and the title of Black Myth: Wukong with a spider’s web appears, and in the cookie video part, a giant spider youkai is eating something. In the original version, the characters who should have been renamed by Son Goku will be revealed after the game is released.
Black Myth: Wukong, first revealed in 2020, is being produced for PC and console games. The exact release schedule and model will be announced at a later date.
