Black Myth: Wukong PS5

Update: Responding to a handful of concerns, PM Studios has confirmed the physical version of Black Myth: Wukong will include the full game on its Blu-ray, and you won't need an Internet connection to play. It's just the Deluxe Edition codes which will need to be redeemed optionally from the PS Store.

Original Article: The physical version of Black Myth: Wukong, which was leaked overnight, has now been officially confirmed by Game Science, with PM Studios aiding the developer with distribution across the USA, Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. A release date for the physical edition hasn't been set yet, but pre-orders at retailers will go live soon.

Boxed copies will contain a code for the Deluxe Edition content seen in the digital version on the PS Store, which means physical versions actually represent a $5 saving. There have been concerns over whether this is simply a "code in a box" physical release, but PM Studios has confirmed to us there will be a "disc with the game on it".

The included Deluxe Edition voucher will allow to an additional weapon, extra equipment, a bonus Curio, and the digital soundtrack containing select tracks.

"It takes time for Black Myth: Wukong's combat to truly click, but when it does, this is one of the most creative action titles on PS5. One after another, its spectacular boss battles steal the show — a procession of memorable encounters that showcase the game's incredible artistry."
