Game Science has announced that the long-delayed Xbox Series version of the action RPG Black Myth: Wukong will launch on August 20 – exactly one year after its PlayStation 5 and PC debut via Steam and Epic Games Store. Pre-orders begin on June 18.
This means the title will finally shed its PlayStation 5 console exclusivity.
See the description below:
Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG rooted in Chinese mythology. The story draws from “Journey to the West,” one of Chinese literature’s Four Great Classical Novels. You’ll play as the Destined One, bearing the responsibility to confront the world’s challenges and wonders while unveiling the dark truth behind a glorious legend of the past.
• Explore a land of vast wonders
“A shimmering world where marvels await
and every step reveals new vistas.”
Step into a mesmerizing realm brimming with discoveries from ancient Chinese mythology!
As the Destined One, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes from the classical novel “Journey to the West” while forging your own epic tale through adventure.
• Face formidable classic and original foes
“The heroic monkey, standing before might and glory
battles foes who defy all known history.”
One of “Journey to the West”‘s greatest strengths is its staggering array of adversaries with unique powers.
Prepare to confront mighty enemies and worthy rivals throughout your quest. Engage courageously in epic battles where surrender is never an option.
• Master diverse spells
“With mastery over spells and talents
you’ll vanquish foes without difficulty.”
Spells, transformations, and enchanted artifacts – in manifestations both augmenting and opposing – consistently serve as iconic combat elements in Chinese mythology.
You’ll need to master staff techniques while freely combining different spells, abilities, weapons, and gear to craft winning strategies suited to your fighting style.
• Discover poignant stories where least expected
“All souls, whether wild or tame
conceal life stories rich and deep.”
Beyond your foes’ ferocity and cunning lie intricate backstapes defining their origins, personalities, and motivations.
As the Destined One, you’ll uncover characters’ layered histories – moving beyond direct confrontation – to understand the roots of their complex emotions: love, hatred, greed, and rage.
