Black Myth: Wukong
Back in August 2020 Chinese indie studio Game Science released a 13 minute pre-alpha trailer for this game out of nowhere to great fanfare. The game is based on Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, from the 16th century epic Journey to the West and is loosely described as a "souls-like" game.
I'm cautiously excited for this game. Being a very small studio, it is of course taking quite a long time to make the game. The developers have been mostly forthcoming with the development and some of the challenges they've faced, which is refreshing.
The game appears to be heavily focused on re-telling the many stories of The Monkey King and his quests and battles. There's an absolute WEALTH of lore for them to pull from and a long laundry list of different skills at Wukong's disposal so there's no excuse for this game to be lacking in abilities or story depth.
As far as I know this is the most recent gameplay that we've been privy to. The game was originally slated for release in August 2023, however the release date has been pushed back to Summer 2024.
