Celebrating the Chinese year of the Ox on February 10, 2021, 11:33 Something to look forward to: Remember that fantastic 13-minute clip of Black Myth: Wukong that arrived last summer? The pre-alpha footage of the Souls-like game from Chinese indie developer Game Science Studio was hailed as the first true “next-gen game.” Now, a new trailer has dropped. The first video of Black Myth: Wukong set the internet alight with its Dark Souls/Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice/Bloodborne-esque gameplay. The action RPG is based on the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West—the same one that inspired 1979 TV series Monkey and many other shows, books, and movies. Players take control of Monkey King Sun Wukong, facing off against some enormous mythological beasts that can be taken down using the 72 different abilities on offer.
