A new gameplay trailer for Black Myth: Wukong was shown off today at Gamescom 2023. The trailer shows off the game’s action-packed combat. It gives players an idea of what kind of enemies and bosses they can expect to face. However, the trailer doesn’t feature many story details.
The trailer itself is short and sets the tone of Black Myth: Wukong. Few cutscenes are shown, instead focusing on what looks to be boss encounters. It gives players a general idea of the game’s art direction and enemy design.
Black Myth: Wukong is being developed by Chinese developer Game Science and is an action RPG based on the classic novel Journey to the West. The player controls the “Destined One” as he battles various foes.
Clearly, the game takes some inspiration From Soulsborne titles, and it shows in the latest trailer. Players will be able to unlock and utilize various spells and abilities of their choosing as they progress. This will allow players to adjust their combat style to their liking.
Black Myth: Wukong Gamescom Trailer
Black Myth: Wukong was first revealed to the public in 2020, where it impressed many with its visuals and combat. A game with a scope such as this one has been a big challenge for a studio like Game Science. However, while the game has been in development for approximately six years, it finally appears to be shaping up into a full game now.
The goal is for Black Myth: Wukong to contain big-budget production values. This includes high-fidelity graphics, smooth animations, and more. This is a first for the studio, as they have never attempted a game like this before. So far, their efforts seem to be paying off, as most reactions to the game still appear to be overwhelmingly positive.
No specific release date has been revealed, but players can expect to get their hands on the Black Myth: Wukong next year. Black Myth: Wukong will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with the possibility of cloud gaming options as well.
