Check out a new trailer for Black Myth: Wukong, a new action adventure RPG from Chinese developer Game Science based on the Journey to the West mythology.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

The PC trailer from a few months ago kinda looked better if i remember correctly. Imma go back and watch it now. Looks amazing nonetheless!

 

[Danjin44]

I can't praise the enemy designs in this game enough, both varied and well designed.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Looks really good!

 

[Kenpachii]

Yea feels a bit downgraded from the tech demo they had, but still solid looking tho.

Tech demo

They have nailed it so far in the art, graphics and presentation departments. If they manage to make it a more accesible version of a Souls-like game, this will be a hit. The fact that truly amazes me is that this is coming out of nowhere from some obscure developer.

 

[Exentryk]

Looking great. I am hoping it is more story driven, and not another Souls like.

[Concern]

This looks too good to be true. I expect massive downgrading in the final product.

 

[FMX]

Was that gameplay because there was no HUD?

why does it need to be souls like? Its an action RPG.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm liking the environmental destruction. Gonna look great running at 60fps and above on PC.

looks absolutely amazing. i thought the opening few shots were cgi but they transitioned into gameplay.

this is what next gen should look like. Take note Sony and Microsoft.

It doesn't have to, but looking at the game it's clear they drew huge inspiration from there.

Yeah, this looks too goddam good

 

[Exentryk]

As the Mouse gives way to the Ox, we have a growing talent and force. Here is a little tune for you, gamers dear. May you have a prosperous year! ​

​

Note: This video is specially produced for celebrating Chinese New Year. It does not represent actual plot. Black Myth: Wukong is an action-adventure game developed by Game Science Studio. ​

​

The game is still in development, and the release date has not been determined yet.​

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

This might be the console version (which looks phenomenal to say the least), so hopefully the demo they showed 5 months ago isn't downgraded.

 

[eyesabitdull]

The game looks great, but I wonder about its optimizations and ability to deliver a good enough story for the general world audience.

Either way, I'm excited to see something new come out from the Asian hemisphere.

 

[hybrid_birth]

Might make the label CRPG (Chinese Rpg) a common word someday. Looks so good.

 

[longdi]

pretty bad framerates. Need to migrate to UE5. I wonder if MS or sony will buy exclusivity with them. Seems like they need some more fundings

The character models during actual gameplay(no cutscene bullshit) are next level.

 

[GreyHorace]

Looks pretty good. Still no word on what consoles it's available on?

 

[Kuranghi]

The video is 24fps, which I guess they did for cinematic purposes but I think it looks terrible because of that. If there was object motion blur then maybe it wouldn't be too bad.

The game itself looks pretty cool though.

 

[Inviusx]

One to watch for sure. Thank you CCP.

 

[Zeeed]

Both trailer was in 1080p.
At least the first trailer looked to be 60fps.

This new trailer, the framerate looks to be 30fps?

I'm curious to see the performance footage of the game in 4K.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

Looking good, if not slightly downgraded from that reveal from last year. They need some better audio people though.. bad sound effects and dunno what happened with the editing at 0:55.

 

[KyoZz]

 

[SlimySnake]

 

[Elcid]

Fuck. 10/10. My penis can only get so erect.

 

[BennyBlanco]

still looks really good but the first video looked better

weird choice to lock your videogame trailer to 24 fps

 

[Kagero]

New graphics bench mark. Impressive.

 

[THEAP99]

This game is destined to never release and if it does it'll fail miserably. I say this because simply I mean where's the hands on footage? Why is it already downgraded from the first showing? Bad sound effects, choppy frame rates.. etc etc..

I see a lot of media hyping this game up despite not actual vetting of what exactly it is. I dunno I just have a bad feeling about this.

 

[bender]

Game of the Geneartion.

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

I can't help but expect a downgrade. It just looks too good. Really curious to see how it launches.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Looks like a brown game.

Looks like a formulaic game we've all played 5,000x already.

Looks like a training wheels game for a new studio getting off the ground.

77 metascore.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I like the fire effects and the scaling of the enemies. You can tell the first video was edited. It feels like this new trailer has some very raw footage. They need to do a little bit more than just show us some boss fights. The journey is just as important as the boss at the end. We were seeing him perform some cool martial arts, flying on a cloud, and then those tall giants throwing their hats at him. This one is basically rocks, sand, and fire effects. I’d definitely play it, but even Mortal Shell has some good atmosphere to it.

Serious Sam and Painkiller did this with shooters. It’s pretty generic all around, but they sorta scale things up to change the formula. I want a good variety to enemies, interesting locations, and good boss fights. I do think I’d like this more than I did Enslaved. I just hope it pays off when it actually comes out.

 

[Aenima]

Hope this game delivers. The 1st trailer they showed was already showing alot of interesting gameplay mechanics with the main character transformations and powers.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Hopefully FromChina understands that Souls games are not just about the combat but also the sense of exploration and stellar level and world design.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Looks like a formulaic game we've all played 5,000x already.

It's almost like it belongs to a specific genre with specific features.

 

[Kamina]

Looks impressive. Lets just hope the game will have more than just furry boss-battles but actual exploration.

 

[j0hnnix]

Still don't believe this is a game to be released. The end of the video it says "produced for celebrating year of the ox" not actual plot. No release date , or even a hint. Wasn't the last video mainly for talent recruitment?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's almost like it belongs to a specific genre with specific features.

Yeah, like butt rock in 2005. It's the Buckcherry of videogames.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Looks like the engine is improving.

 

[mxbison]

I hate that fucking monkey so much in Dota 2. Not sure if I can justify buying his game.

 

[longdi]

Hopefully FromChina understands that Souls games are not just about the combat but also the sense of exploration and stellar level and world design.

I think this game is closer to onimuha + ninja gaiden.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Black Myth Wukong is by far the only game that I have seen that looks next gen (now current gen) and best of all, it's all actual gameplay as opposed to a cinematic or in-engine trailer. Super hyped for this game which is going to be part of a trilogy. Microsoft, Sony or a third party publisher needs to get this game secured for current gen consoles in NA.

 

[dottme]

I’m hype for this game. But at the same time, I don’t think we’ll get it this year.

 

[TonyK]

Too good to be true. Be prepared to discover that these trailers were target renders.
