Black Myth: Wukong was recently announced with a 13-minute gameplay trailer on YouTube. It has skyrocketed in popularity, with the trailer being viewed over 4.5 million times already. Fans are excited about Black Myth: Wukong's Dark Souls-style combat and its engaging depiction of Chinese mythology. The game's story is based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, following the main character Sun Wukong, or The Monkey King, on his legendary adventure. The game's developer, Game Science Studio, has only been lead developer on one other game, called Art of War: Red Tides, a real time strategy game inspired by Starcraft 2.

Black Myth is still in Pre-Alpha, but the early gameplay teaser already has the industry buzzing. The gameplay shown off was that of an action-adventure, third-person game where we see Wukong take out enemies with a varied amount of abilities. While his primary melee weapon is his staff, the titular monkey king displays a wide variety of skills throughout the presentation. From the ability to freeze enemies in stasis to creating an army of clones, he has an entire arsenal at his disposal. Later in the trailer, there are small clips where one can see much larger groups of enemies and Wukong demonstrating far more powerful, explosive moves to deal with them, seeming more akin to a hack-and-slash.
The main inspiration cited by Game Science was 2018's God of War, whose influence is most apparent in the camera seen in Black Myth's gameplay. While this may be the case, the series also seems to pull a lot of elements from Souls-like games. This is particularly notable with the wolf boss who, along with several enemies teased toward the end, towers in size over the protagonist and strikes with powerful, wide-reaching blows.

Even if Black Myth isn't the huge success many think it will be, it has already made a grand statement of its own. China is now a contender in the Triple-A game industry, and while Black Myth is its first attempt at success, it certainly will not be the last.
