Game Science is pushing a new Black Myth: Wukong update for PS5 live today that includes a challenge mode, new in-game maps, and free armour pieces for the popular action title. It'll be rolled out within the next 24 hours, updating the game to version number 1.0.12.16581.
The challenge mode takes the form of the Keeper's Shrine, which unlocks once you've beaten the game. You'll be able to fight fallen bosses in the Return of Rivals across three difficulty modes, while Gauntlet of Legends pits you against multiple enemies at once and curses that impact the difficulty. For overcoming these challenges, you shall earn new weapons and equipment.
Another big addition is Journeyer's Charts, which are essentially in-game maps. The title lacked a map, which made navigation within its chapters a little more difficult than expected. Now, after downloading the patch, you can pick up Journeyer's Charts from shrines as you enter new territories.
Then, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, four new armour pieces can be picked up from any Keeper's Shrine under the "Trailblazer's Gift" tab. The update also works on fixing various glitches and bugs, as well as performance issues. You can view the full patch notes through the link.
Will you be returning to Black Myth: Wukong to check out these new features and additions? Let us know in the comments below.

Was hoping for some pro support ngl
The only 2 AAA titles I’ve played in recent times with no HDR were from Russia and China. Respectively of course
I'd buy it in a heartbeat IF it had PS5 Pro support. Guess they don't want my money then...
@Corelight
Or mine.
Yeah was also hoping for pro support before I get my copy at Christmas 😐
Is there any word about a PS5 Pro patch?
I already got it on physical but I feel this is one of the few games that could take great advantage of the Pro if optimized correctly.
Difficulty options? I stink at soulslikes, I was kinda under the impression that this was a bit easier, but it’s not. I’ve wasted $60 at this point as I can’t even get out of the first area 😂
It REALLY needs a pro patch. The image quality on it is abysmal :/
I still need to beat Erlang. Not as badly as this game needs a Pro patch though.
And just to add, if Sony really did snag an exclusivity deal with this like they did with Rebirth and Stellar Blade, it would ALREADY be patched.
No Pro support - no buy...
@ORO_ERICIUS That is a blessing right now honestly. Game is unlocked and runs better on pro already.
lol a map. Game was linear as hell. It was never challenging to navigate it at all.
I wanna know when the perf mode will actually be 60fps and not 30 with framegen
@RedRiot193 are you referring to the quality mode or the perf mode? And any idea what kind of frame rate you’re getting on the Pro?
Can I get a "I dont have time to get good" difficulty option? I played the demo/trial and its fun, but i lack the time to put into actually progressing in the game.
This update does appear to address the map atleast.
"will you be returning?"
No I'll continue to wait a few months let them add everything, and the when the game hits $35 I'll pick it up
When is the physical release?
@Oram77 Tomorrow!
@SystemAddict wukong has hdr. Not quite sure what your comment is about?
@RedRiot193 the first chapter was quite linear. The other areas were large and had loads of different ways around them. It was no more linear than a lot of other similar games.
@kungfumongoose abysmal? Maybe get your eyes tested because the game looks great. It's not super duper sharp in performance mode granted but to say it looks abysmal is a stretch mate..
Bruh I'm surprised there wasn't a joke in the article about that version number y is it so long
@bestuardo performance mode runs quite well. Still not great in the beginning. And framegen is still there.
@Northern_munkey Nah this is false. Every path is linear. You can call it wide linear if you want. No map was ever needed for this game.
@Northern_munkey it doesn’t ya sap 😂 why do you think it has do you have HDR always on even when not supported or that?
@RedRiot193 it's no more linear than other similar games. You are making it sound as if its more linear than usual which is utter rubbish.
Sigh Guess Game Science has zero interest on Pro support lol
@Northern_munkey dude maps are one path, then 3 paths, and then one very big wide straight path, one vertical path going down one path. It's a linear/wide linear game. It's not a sandbox nor open world.
@RedRiot193 that's not what I'm saying though is it? I'm not arguing that it's not linear.. I'm saying it's no more linear than any other game..I never said it was open world blah,blah,blah..
@SystemAddict my bad as I thought it had hdr implemented. I just thought it was always on..apologies..
@Northern_munkey I don't even know what you're going on about anymore. In any case I'm ignoring you going forward.
