The latest in-game play video and cutscene of ‘Black Myth: Wukong’, an action adventure with the motif of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, was released today (20th). It has been just over a year since we released a 12-minute in-game play video last year.
This 8-minute in-game play video was exclusively released by Nvidia, and features the latest graphic technology as well as the overall play flow of the game. In terms of graphics, DLSS and ray tracing are applied to 4K resolution, so it can be seen that the game boasts excellent quality even though it is a relatively small game from a new developer.
If the in-game play video released last year focused on the battle system, such as focusing on the battle with the boss, this video focused on the overall play flow including the battle system. As can be seen from previous in-game videos, the combat system of ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ is similar to that of Soul Like. Enemies are not only powerful, but recovery items are limited and energy (stamina) is consumed for attack and evasion, so proper management is essential.
However, this does not mean that ‘Black Myth: Goku’ is a simple soul-like that only wears the costume of Journey to the West. In the game, Son Goku, like the original Journey to the West, is special in various swordsmanship. In order to use magic, you need swordsmanship, and in this video, self-immolation techniques such as Son Goku’s identity, paralysis techniques that immobilize the enemy, and turning into a stone monkey to withstand the enemy’s attacks, as well as transforming into a monster you defeated You can get a glimpse of how to use it in various ways.
In addition, in this video, detailed systems such as a gathering system, a shrine that serves as a checkpoint, and item grades were also unveiled for the first time. There was no detailed description of the gathering system, but as it is written that the blood wolfberry slightly recovers stamina, it is expected to assist the battle in various aspects. In addition, in the case of items, they are divided into grades such as green, blue, and purple, and accordingly, it is expected to bring about changes in appearance as well as performance.
On the other hand, the developer, Game Science Studio, released the latest video containing a 6-minute in-game cutscene, separate from Nvidia’s in-game play video on the same day. The characters appearing in the cutscenes are characters that have never been revealed before. It is presumed to be a spider ghost from Bansangdong that appeared in the Journey to the West because of the friendly treatment of spiders with beauties like fairies and the appearance of a ghost spider at the end of the video, suggesting the appearance of various ghosts in the original source. are doing
‘Black Myth: Goku’, which made a surprise appearance in 2020, was a game with the motif of Journey to the West, and at the time, it was a topic of discussion due to its excellent graphics and directing. The game will be released on most mainstream platforms, including PC, and other detailed release dates are yet to be determined. In this regard, Game Science Studio said, “We will focus on improving the quality of the game rather than external activities.”
