Remember Black Myth: Wukong? It's that PS5 action RPG based loosely on Journey to the West, and has consistently looked amazing each time we've seen it. Well, developer Game Science has announced roughly when we can expect the title to arrive, and it's still a ways off.
The game won't launch on PS5 and other platforms until Summer 2024. While that'll be a blow to anyone excited for this Souls-like title, the studio has at least softened the impact with a brilliant short film. Presented in stop-motion animation, it depicts a rabbit excited to play Black Myth: Wukong, only to discover his PC is far too outdated. It's well worth a watch, even if the resulting news isn't quite what fans wanted to hear.
So, yes, there's still about 18 months (at least) until this elusive game shows up. Are you looking forward to Black Myth: Wukong? Journey into the comments section below.

Is it even confirmed to be coming to consoles? Couldn't find that...
Well that just about sums up the joy of PC gaming for me too!
Spot on.
Yeah I kinda thought that 2023 was a pipe-dream 😞. Oh well, let’s hope the devs make it all it can be for 2024… it’s maybe my most anticipated game right now if I’m honest.
@Voltan there is a statement on developer's official site that the game will be released "on PC and other main-stream consoles".
That’s when I projected anyway
Am I the only one who keeps getting this one and Wo Long Fallen Dynasty mixed up
@DualWielding same here!
What is 18 months in bunny years anyway?
... actually launching 2025.
Taking the release date serious is a good first step. And producing something this good for an announcement exudes confidence. It seems absolutely resonable that they need more time (for optimisation, judging from this?) to achieve the fidelty of the trailers. I remain hopeful and on board.
Hard to believe it’s actually coming out
Definitely saw this one coming. With how it's being presented so far, there wasn't a single chance of it coming out this year. We've still got Stella Blade, FFXVI, Hogwarts, Wo-Long: Fallen Dynasty, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and many more obviously this year. Not concerned about this one being delayed.
Unsurprising. On a related topic - I never understood the appeal of the Monkey King thing. It doesn't interest me at all - I did try to watch a subtitled movie once to understand it and came away just as lost as I did before.
I think the appeal of the game outside of China may be minimal - unless it is highly rated so that other gamers will pick it up out of curiosity.
The game looked great so I have some curiousity on it - but only if it is reviewed very well. Still - I wish the devs the best and much success with their game.
Between this an Lost Soul Aside taking a pretty much a whole console generation to come out I refuse to be hype for anything of these game till I read a review 😪
Very interested in this, even if I’m not sold on it. Souls games… you just don’t know til you know on those. Ever since Elden Ring, I’ve been giving the genre a chance again, but I’m waiting for one to really knock my socks off again, now that I can actually play them competently. Definitely wasn’t enamored by Wo Long, but this one just looks like it may be better.
Cool take your time.my backlog of games is huge.black myth wukong looks amazing.word up son
Cute short film, but I still remain highly skeptical of this one. The footage we've seen so far looks way too good to be true.
I really wanted to play this one, but waiting another 18 months?
Feels like when it does release (rather, IF it releases), it'll be a massive letdown.
The never ending cycle of korean/chinese development
@KaijuKaiser some pretty decent games have come out: Sword and Fairy, Xuan Yuan Sword, F.I.S.T
Until 2024 lol 😆 😂
ohh boy... they hype us too long for some of the games man. Show us game that you plan ono releasing 6-12months window. Stop showing me gameplay in 2022 or even 2021 to release the game 2024 which is 3 yrs later.. Damnnn
I wonder if you'll be able to go super saiyan.
@Tomato_Goose Glad to read this, I was also concerned about platform choices.
Summer 2024 wait will surely be worth it.
