GAMEPLAY

Black Myth: Wukong is an action role-playing game. with elements of the soulslike subgenre. It is played in single-player mode from a third-person perspective. It is inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West.

The player controls a monkey protagonist referred to as the Destined One, who is based on Sun Wukong from the novel. The protagonist’s weapon is a staff, based on Wukong’s staff Ruyi Jingu Bang. The staff can extend and shrink in size during combat. The three staff stances, which are the smash stance, the pillar stance, and the thrust stance, provide versatility in fights. The combat mechanics involve the management of resources. Focus can be accumulated by landing light attacks, executing well-timed dodges, and other means. A focus point is gained when the meter for focus is filled up. These points can be used to initiate a varied combo, chained to light attacks, or to charge a heavy attack on its own. Stamina depletes by sprinting, dodging, and attacking.

Spells are available on cooldown and consume mana. They are categorized in mysticism, alteration, strand, and transformations. The protagonist uses transformations to shapeshift into a different creature or being. An example is the transformation Red Tides, which takes the form of Guangzhi, a wolfman who wields a flaming glaive. The transformations come with their own movesets and health. They are available on cooldown, but do not cost mana. They last until their might, which depletes by attacking, or health runs out.

Spirits provide a skill and passive effect if they are equipped. Spirit skills function as transformations to do a single attack. They are available on cooldown and consume qi. Spirits come from certain defeated enemies and are acquired if they are absorbed into a gourd. An example of a spirit is the Wandering Wight, who does a headbutt attack.

The game follows a mostly linear progression interspersed with expansive areas. There are shrines, which act as checkpoints for the player, along the way. Throughout the world, the protagonist encounters various yaoguai as enemies. The game’s difficulty cannot be changed by players, but it does not remain the same throughout a playthrough.

STORY

After successfully escorting Tang Sanzang and recovering the Buddhist scriptures, Sun Wukong ascends to Buddhahood, but ultimately rejects immortality to live on his mountain in peace. However, the Celestial Court is angered that Sun Wukong would disobey them, and sends an army led by Erlang to force him to return to the Court. Sun Wukong duels Erlang, but is ultimately defeated and sealed in a stone. However, right before he is sealed, Sun Wukong manages to split his power into six Relics, each one corresponding to one of Wukong’s six-senses (the same six-senses of Āyatana, a Buddhist philosophy), that are scattered and hidden all across China.

Over the next few centuries, the Monkeys of Mount Huaguo would send out a number of young warriors to try and recover the Relics so they can revive and free Sun Wukong. One such Monkey (who becomes known as the Destined One) sets out on his quest to find the Relics.

He first heads to the burnt down ruins of Guanyin Temple and recovers the first Relic, Sun Wukong’s “eyes”, by defeating Black Bear Guai, who apologizes and claims he was forced by the Court to oppose the Destined One.

The Destined One then heads to Yellow Wind Ridge where he defeats the Yellow Wind Sage and recovers the Bodhisattva Lingji’s severed head. As thanks, Lingji hands over the second Relic which he had been protecting.

The Destined One continues his journey to the mountains, where he frees Zhu Bajie from imprisonment and they both defeat Yellowbrow. Maitreya then thanks them for defeating Yellowbrow, who had stolen his artifacts as well as the third Relic, and he gives the Relic to the Destined One.

The Destined One and Bajie then journey to the lair of the Spider Demons to find the fourth Relic, but Bajie is captured by the matriarch, the Violet Spider, who plans to marry and then devour him for having “ruined” her centuries earlier. The Destined One rescues Bajie and battles both the Violet Spider and the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, resulting in both of their deaths and the possession of the fourth Relic.

The Destined One and Bajie continue their journey to the Forest of Embers, where they find Red Boy attempting to steal the fifth Relic from the Bull Demon King. The Destined One defeats Red Boy, who commits suicide to avoid the humiliation of defeat and allowing the Destined One to take possession of the fifth Relic.

With five of the Relics now in their possession, the Destined One and Bajie return to Mount Huaguo to find the sixth and final Relic. On the way, they find that Sun Wukong’s old weapons and armour have been hidden around the region, so they decide to recover them before the Court can. They then reach the summit of Mount Huaguo where the Destined One discovers that, as the “Destined One”, he was also the sixth relic, Sun Wukong’s mind, and that his true role is not to revive Sun Wukong, per-say, but to inherit Sun Wukong’s name and powers and become his new incarnation. In order to complete the transmigration transformation, the Destined One is forced to battle Sun Wukong’s mindless stone body. Upon the defeat of Sun Wukong’s stone body, multiple endings are possible:

DEVELOPMENT

Black Myth: Wukong is a game developed and published by Game Science. In 2018, several members of Game Science, founded in Shenzhen, moved to Hangzhou to begin development of the game. Yang Qi stated that at the start of the project the team considered the cost for research and development to be high, and initially did not have high expectations for profitability. Nevertheless, he was not deterred from realizing their ambitions, and the team sought to pursue their own style with a focus on traditional cultural themes.

Black Myth: Wukong was first announced with a trailer showcasing gameplay in its pre-alpha build on August 20, 2020. The trailer demonstrated the game built on Unreal Engine 4, and showed the protagonist exploring the environment and fighting various foes in a location known as the Black Wind Mountain. Within one day, the trailer had nearly two million views on YouTube and ten million views on Bilibili. As Game Science’s development team was small, the trailer was released to attract people to the studio to help build the game. The team initially consisted of seven people, which had increased to thirty by the period near the announcement.

In designing the environment, the development team conducted on-site studies of various locations. They made scans of buildings and statues to reproduce them or use them as a basis in the design.

The game is developed on Unreal Engine 5, though was initially developed on its previous iteration, Unreal Engine 4. The move to the newer version was revealed through a trailer showcasing the game on August 20, 2021. Game Science explained that, in 2021, they had switched to Unreal Engine 5 as they were aiming for more realistic graphics.

The game features the theme from the 1986 television series Journey to the West.

Feng Ji expressed hope for Black Myth: Wukong to be the first installment in a planned Black Myth shared universe, which would explore different stories in Chinese mythology.
