It was unusual for me, who usually jumps aboard any hype train with reckless abandon, not to understand the hype for Wukong, but that all changed after the incredible Opening Night Live trailer. From the moment Wukong deflected bullets by spinning his staff around while looking like a total badass, I was hooked and finally saw what everyone was so excited about. Sindel’s brutal fatality might have made me wince beyond belief, but Black Myth: Wukong was easily one of the best parts of the s
Fortunately, Black Myth: Wukong is slightly easier than classic Soulslike titles , so any initial foreboding shadow players might feel cast over them by the game’s bosses shouldn’t last too long. Players will have plenty of opportunities during Wukong ‘s boss encounters to get the upper hand. It is often those moments that can make or break a boss fight for players unless they manage to survive rather than thrive throughout the encounte. Players must remain keen-eyed and quick to catch these lightning-in-a-bottle moments, however, and that’s the exciting p
A year ago, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor made waves when its physical copy included the disclaimer “Download Required” , something that’s sadly become more common . The disc included only partially held the game’s file size, with a download needed to complete the rest. It was a major hit for game preservation purposes, and it looks like Black Myth: Wukong will suffer the same fate, at least in the interim.
It is the first time for Game Science to release a console game globally, and we are currently facing limitations in offline resources required for the import, export, transportation, distribution, and sales of physical discs. These factors have made it difficult for us to sell physical discs simultaneously with the official release of the game.
I walked away from Gamescom 2023 having played a ton of great upcoming games, from triple-A juggernauts like Mortal Kombat 1 and Sonic Superstars , to smaller but no less awesome releases like Thank Goodness You’re Here and AK-xolotl. As happy as I was with all I got to see, there was one game that managed to evade my grasp entirely – the Journey to the West-inspired Soulslike, Black Myth: Wuko
Imagine my surprise the next day when, while blearily stumbling around the show floor and scoping out what was there before the big crowds could put me off ever venturing past the press area, I saw that Black Myth Wukong Cheats|Https://Blackmythwukongfans.Com/ Myth: Wukong was not only playable at Gamescom, but had one of the biggest booths of the whole show, towering above the likes of Mortal Kombat 1 and Payda
From talking to other FromSoft experts, I’ve gathered that Erdtree’s fights aren’t as easy to brute force as other fights. In our discussion video last week, reviewer James Troughton explained that their plan to stagger enemies with blunt weapons wasn’t as effective as they’d hoped, but when they switched to a more hybrid build with magic options, they had a lot more success. They also used the Mimic Tear Spirit Summon to distract bosses, and when they weren’t strong enough to beat a boss, they farmed Scadutree Fragments until they w
With appointments to keep and big gamer rizz to spread across Gamescom, I trudged away defeated and resolved to go back even earlier the next day to beat the rush and make sure I got some time with the show’s surprising superstar, which strangely didn’t have any presence or opportunities for press. You’ve read the title so you’ve hopefully figured out where this is going. The queue was somehow even bigger the next day, with signs indicating wait times between two to four hours before the sun had even ri
Last, but certainly not least, Wukong has the ability to freeze itself. Not only can this be used on normal enemies, but it can even be applied to boss fights, allowing players to really get in some serious hits before the effect wears off. There are a lot of features to look forward to with Black Myth: Wukong , and they all promise some incredible combat is on the
I’m not trying to talk anyone out of playing Wukong (though I do recommend you at least inform yourself about the allegations of discrimination and harassment at Game Science ). It’s a Soulslike through and through and I expect it will be popular with fans of the genre. But if Erdtree is too hard for you because the bosses are relentless, I’m sorry to say it, but Wukong isn’t going to treat you any ni
If you were planning to buy a physical copy of Black Myth: Wukong when the game launches in August , you might want to rethink that decision. Not because we think the game will be bad, in fact, it looks like another interesting entry in the Soulslike subgenre that’s sprung up. But because the physical edition of the game won’t have a disc at all.
At this point, it was clear I was probably never going to get to play Wukong at Gamescom, but that didn’t stop me from going back whenever I had a chance, hoping to get lucky and see the meagre hour-long queue I had once considered ridiculous. As the week went on, it became less about expecting to get in to play the game and more a morbid curiosity about how long the queues could possibly get, a question that was answered on Saturday when a sign outside the booth at 11 a.m. said: “capacity exceed
