Black Myth: Wukong is Phenomenal - First Preview 

Are you looking forward to Black Myth: Wukong? And will you be getting it in August or waiting until the Xbox release? Let us know in the comments! - Craig

Funny that this has ended up a timed exclusive on PS5 and PC, presumably because of the Series S 😄

Looks like fun, and dare I say the graphics are looking more in line with what we expected with this current generation.

“Yaoguai”! Well pronounced, Craig!

Yall heard that?? He said this could be the game of the year!! Fk I’m so hyped

Sucks that this has been delayed on Xbox. First BG3 now this. I guess another one I’ll pick up on PS5.

Rather than talking about action operations, I am more curious about its plot exploration. As a game plot based on the traditional Chinese masterpiece "Journey to the West", the experience will definitely be different.

This is better than ign videos

Lol this game isn't even releasing on xbox on day one 😂😂😂

MY GAME OF THE YEAR

This game got two competitors. Project The perceiver and Phantom Blade 0 i'm just happy i'm getting to play all three of these.

I remember being blown away first time I saw footage of this game when it was first announced. Im not quite as blown away by these visuals, but it still looks great.

GAME OF THE YEAR or at least one of the strongest contender!!

Thank you sir for your valuable time to show us this amazing video.

Great video! Just wanted to point out that the game does have a block/parry system. One of few ways we’ve seen players parry enemy attacks is through a light-heavy combo in Smash Stance, which has a mechanic similar to GP (guard point) in Monster Hunter. You can see this happen at 1:22, 2:46, 3:04, 4:36, and a few more places in the video. “Stone Solid” is another block/parry ability that’s been revealed. In previous demos, it was also shown that certain bosses (like the Macaque Chief) have the ability to parry player attacks as well.

Really want this game. Will wait patiently for XBox, hopefully not too long😅

And the best part is that it isn't a sweet baby project so I'll definitely be buying

First release of Black Myth matchability test (based on the content of the trial version). 3 points or above can be considered Like challenging boss battles +4 Chinese classical culture enthusiasts +2 Picture scenery party +2 Rich action game experience (such as Souls, Monster Hunter, God of War) +1 Be more patient when playing games +1 Hate to lick pictures -1 Hardware novice and computer configuration is close to the minimum requirements of the game -1 Rejection of reading guides when playing games -2 Poor patience when playing games -2 Never played action games (such as Souls, Monster Hunter, God of War) -2 Difficulty in the game -2 (add or subtract 1 point depending on the degree of difficulty in the game)

I watched videos from Chinese RU-vidrs, and they said there will be a lot of bosses in the game. In the first chapter, there will be more monsters than in the entire Dragon Creed hahahaha Although I haven't played this game yet, I want to say that at least it's worth 60 dollars

I think the fact that XSS has less hUMA memory than XSX is Microsoft's most fatal strategic mistake this generation, other performance gaps can be solved by lowering the resolution or FPS, but lack of RAM is lack for good. The minimum standard for the PC version released by GameScience is GTX1060, but the RAM requirement is 16g and VRAM is 6g, which is far more than the 10g that XSS can provide (while 2g set for the system).

Pretty hilarious how this BASED company gave the finger to Sweet Baby Inc 😂

Just remember, the fact that these devs put their foot down agaisnt SBI is more than enough reason to buy this

I’ve never seen so fluid movements in my life.

Isn't this game delayed on xbox because the series s is underpowered?

Is this game basically 100% combat? I haven't seen any footage of the game where you do something else, haha

It’s a shame that the series s exists…. Xbox users could play this at launch.

Preordering this definitely looks Awesome 🔥

Kudos to the devs for standing their ground with D.I.E. Seriously want to support it just for that. Edit: It's not on Xbox so I can't support it right now.

Ill buy this because developers have refused any DEI

Great preview!!!

I am so buying it

A preview to a game that isn't even releasing on xbox this year. Eeeeh 🤷

Dude.... It's not coming to Xbox for quite some time, it's a Ps5 and PC exclusive 😅😅

Any news about the Xbox version?

I will back any game that refuses DEI consulting! I'm buying a copy, and I don't even own a PS

It will never be a contender for GOY at IGN.

Looks great, did you play the PC version?

PS players will enjoy this great game much sooner. Way to go, Microsoft!

It's not gonna be on Xbox for some time, though. What did you play on?

I thought this game was being delayed on XBOX and will start off as a PS5 exclusive...Oh, and your video started off with a DOOM Dark Age commercial...I keep seeing this commercial even though the game isn't coming out till late 2025...Why advertise so heavily now?

Yikes! No physical disc in the physical box? I'll wait until that changes😮

I’m buying this game as soon. As its own!!! Been waiting!

Too bad xbox won't be available on release

Expectation is high but more likely people will be disappointed once it’s released. No open world is ok but poor and limited map exploration kills the game. Too many similar boss fights and some reminds me of nioh. Don’t be fooled by a demo by a rookie studio. If they can get an 8/10 review, it would be lucky.

There is exploration in the game? Some previous videos shows a bit of exploration, but a lot of people are saying that is a boss-rush

I'll pick up a copy

I wonder how xbox people are gonna play this game? They always bully Ps players for buying games.

I’ve preordered it so that I can get my hands on it at the first time!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Cool cant wait

They tried playing that new Assassin's Creed ad before this, go away Ubisoft I'm trying to watch a real game, I pre ordered this for my ps5 but was curious how it functions on the Xbox, I'm getting two copies tho, with what I've learned about the Dev's they deserve all the praise, love and admiration, so one copy for me and one for my best friend, absolute Gigachads of the Industry those Dev's rock, what absolute legends

Ok im 41 and love gaming, the issue i have is the Souls games and other titles like Nioh are just too hard. man are they difficult. Does this game have a option to lower difficulty because if it does id buy it 100% if not i dont thing i will.

I really wanted this game until I found out they pulled a From Soft, no difficulty options. I'm 59 and my skills, reaction time has suffered especially after having CTS surgery in both my hands.

You are the true hero😅

I'm happy to see uguys likethis game😊

X box Release?

The game is gonna be CRACK! I can't wait to play this 👊🏿

The real Goku :)

How you gonna be called pure xbox and not say anything about the game for xbox???

Hope you xbox players dont have to wait too much

Can't front would play this on PC or Xbox got the PlayStation but I'm stuck trying to decide PC or xbox

It looks better than pandora frontiers of……

Can’t wait for it!

Lets pretend we never watched this video before, 🤣

but there is no xbox

Where did you played the game PC,PS5 ?

希望借此能让更多人体验到中国庞大的神话体系

Awesome game it looks good and also the combat is so good and on point.

720p 30fps on console most likely.

Thanks for the review. Small nitpicking: it's heavily hinted that the main character you play is not wukong, but the "destined one" (no one knows who he is yet) and the story happens many years after the events of JTTW.

GOOD

This will be delayed on xbox series s and x.

Xbox ?? But it’s delayed on Xbox

Fantastic video Craigo! So exciting that you were able to play this in-person. You can tell how much you enjoyed it 🥹

"Soulslike" is NOT a genre (hell, it's only barely a sub-genre); nor were the Souls games the first action/adventure games featuring a 3rd person perspective & an emphasis on melee combat; furthermore, Soulslikes (at least, the very vast majority) aren't mechanically deep or innovative in any regard; and finally, Soulslikes are not particularly fun to play (or even visually stimulating enough to watch)....SO, WITH ALL THAT IN MIND, I ASK YOU: why does everyone refer to any vidya with a 3rd person perspective as a fucking Soulslike!? Those games are objectively garbage, and certainly not cut from the same cloth as a Stellar Blade or a Wukong. Seriously, that dev/publisher has got to be bribing journos to incessantly label anything even vaguely similar as a Soulslikes/soulsbornes, in what appears to be a fairly successful gaslighting/conflation/obfuscation campaign intended to keep the brand relevant until the fucking erd tree dlc drops

Ps5 /Pc only atm. 😂

trivia : son go ku is based on wukong

[FYI] Whoever random person out there that curious about the lore of Wukong or basically Journey to the West... I am Asian, Southeast Asian actually that will give u brief explaination. Maybe you are unaware about the lore or story because you are european or anywhere. Okay lets go. Wukong is a monkey that born from Stone. Hence his former name was Stone Monkey. After he can climb and enter the Fruit Cave Waterfall Mountain, He become the Monkey King. Later he live peacefully with his monkey folks: Partying, partying everyday until someday one of the elder monkey die. Die normally. But that Stone Monkey got a existensial crisis that in the end of the day, anyone who life will die. He didnt want to die. Some of elder suggest him to seek a knowledge of immortality from the sage in the nowhere knows. Stone Monkey then decided to find it anyway with his raft, he travel the ocean living his peacefull cave. Then shortly he found the Sage. Three times, Stone Monkey rejected but he dedicated and stay until the Sage receive him as a student. Then the Sage aggree to accept him. Stone Monkey gain a name Wukong with the family name Sun. Hence his fully name is Sun Wukong. Sun means "Monkey", Wukong means "Awarenss of the emptiness". In that school, Wukong befriend other student from humans, godlings, beastlings alike and learn how to write, talk, etc. Basic kind of things. After years there he dissapointed that this is not what he seek. So he angry at class & want his master to give him other knowledge. His Master scold him & beat him three times with stick. Wukong smart, three times is actually hidden secret from his master to meet him at 3 am in his quarter. So, Wukong go there and his master praise him to be the smart one. The Master then give Wukong option of knowledge like Medicines, Fighting, etc. But Wukong don want all of them. He just want the knowledge of immortality. So his master give hime the Knowledge of 72 Magic Transformation, yeah its immortality too. So Wukong agree and learn it. After he earn the knowledge he become pride. He transform to many things to annoy his friend and the last tranform into his master. His master caught him doing that & scold him. Very angry that banish him from the school and let Wukong going back to his home. So Wukong cried & ask forgiveness and doing kowtow (prostrate) 3 times to his master. And his master forgive but still banish him and threat him not to tell anyone that he is the master that give him the 72 Magic Transfomation Knowledge because his master knew the future that this monkey will wreak havoc, in earth hell & heaven. So Wukong promise not to tell anyone because he really scared because if he tell, the master can find him anywhere & slice him into many pieces. Yes, his master is more powerfull than him. So, shortly he going back to his kingdom with special power: Flying Cloud. Yeah cloud like in Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball copied it actually 😂 So when he came back, his cave are colonized by beast. With his new power he defeat them all easily and soon the boss of the beast came out: The Ox King. They duel each other, and draw. They both like each other. So both become friends & soon make a vow to become sworn brother. Ox King tell Monkey King to find a weapon that suit his martial prowess, he suggest to ask the Dragon King of Eastern Seas. So he went there. The Dragon King give him many option of weapon but many of then break & suit the Monkey. But Wukong eyes sees the glamour elegant big pillar in the palace. He really like that. Its a pillar that hold the ocean. But when he touch it, the pillar go small like normal staff but its really really heavy. Wukong use it like staff, play with it causing the ocean tremble. Tsunami & earthquake errupt because of that. Wukong really like the staff & the staff also choose Wukong. Even can be small like toothpick and can be hide inside his ear. Dragon King annoyed with Wukong but scared, so he decided to banish him politely with give him a cool Armored outfit of general. Wukong love it, use it, & go home. In the cave he pride & show off his new weapon & outfit to his folks & his new brother Ox King. After that, they are partying again. Every day. Until Wukong asleep. Then two angel from hell call Wukong's Soul to Hell. Yeah, that day Wukong actually dead. So Wukong enter the hell. Angry because Wukong already learn the knowledge of the immortality he beat all the angel guardian & burn all the book of the monkey's death date, even himself. Making all immortal & immune to death. Bullying the Yama, King of the Hell too. Then go back to his cave. The Dragon King of Eastern Seas & The Hell King later goes to Heaven, report to Jade Emperor about the tragedy and ask the Heaven Sky to punish this Stupid Monkey. So Jade Emperor aggree but one of the God minister disagree. He propose some peacefull approach with recruiting this monkey a position in the Heaven. Because this monkey is a beast but potentially become a God. That good minister God have good reason, Wukong dont have parents so thats why become like that. Jade Emperor aggree and want to show mercy and ask Gods ministry if there any job for this Monkey. There is no job except Horse Guardian. Then that Good God become a messenger to recruit Wukong. And Wukong agree to become Horse Guardian God. He didt now the hierarchy that time, he still think, he become God, its so pride. At first, Wukong enjoy become there. And everyone happy until Heaven have a party. Many gods are invited but Wukong not. Why he is not, he is still asking. Here he meet General Tien Peng (One of Great Heavenly General that later become his comrade, Zhu Bajie, The Pig 😅). Tien Peng scold him that Horse Guardian are low rangking officer god, so not invited. Angry Wukong fight Tien Peng. Both powerfull, but Wukong are winning and Tien Peng flee. Angry, Wukong going back to his cave. Because his ego, he declare himself a Chi Tien Tasen or "Monkey King that Equal Heaven". Or simply just Heaven Monkey King. But that title make Heaven angry because its claiming the throne of the Jade Emperor. So the war already begin again. But good god back then propose again the peacefull act. He propose to recruit again Wukong as a Heaven Monkey King but in name only. No authority or whatsoever. Just keep him in check. Jade Emperor aggred & that good god goes to Wukong again. Wukong happily accept that position and gaining his own complex cluster in the Heaven. Just like puppet king. He happy there. Everyday he play, partying with other gods. Jade Emperor annoyed with his attitude so ordered him to guard a peach garden. In Peach Garden, Wukong ask the Queen's Girlmaid why the peach are reap. The girlmaid said there is a party banquet of Queen. Again, Wukong ask is he invited. The answer still no. Its really make him angry even more. He eats all the peach. Peach is very magic fruit, 1 bite you can live very long time, eat it a whole you will live as long sky & earth. Basically immortal. After that, Wukong back again to his cave. Jade Emperor very angry & send the Heaven Army to catch & punish the Monkey bandit. Th war begins. Wukong, The Heaven Monkey King joined by the Ox King and other beast... Fight againts the Heaven. Many gods lost to Wukong. Some prevail such as Nazha, Jiling, but still Wukong have the advantage. Nazha ask Wukong where he get this powerfull ability, Wukong just answered he learn himself. Remembering his promise to his master not to tell anyone. Then, Jade Emperor send his nephew, Erlang, The Three Eye God. This is where Wukong lost. He caught and send to the trial. He executed by beheading but heaven weapon sky are broken, with thunder lashed he immuned to that. So they keep Wukong into Magic fire pit jar for 40 days hoping that he will melted. Surprise, Wukong break the jar with new power 😂 Fire Eyes, that can see through illusion. He kick the jar & fall to the earth (later this will cause him a karma 😂 i will explain). Then Wukong wreak havoc in the heaven, and all gods no match of him. Even Jade Emperor got scared, and called Buddha. Buddha came & make a bet with Wukong. If he is pride of his power, jump in his palmhand. If he can, he can become the Jade Emperor. If not, he is losing. Because of his egi, Wukong agreed and thinks that jump so much easy. So he goes to Buddha's palmhead & jump. After that he reach Five Pillar of the Universe. So he take a piss one of i & make a sign in the tallest pillar "Heaven Monkey King was here" so he can show it to Buddha. Unbeknown to him, he is still in the Buddha's Palmhand. Realising it that he is losing, he want to flee but cant. Buddha strike him with his Plam and boom its become a mountain. The Monkey that wreak havoc in there, trapped for 500 years. Huft this is the brief story of Wukong. And yes, this before he meets his Bhiksu master & three more disciple brother. One of them Tien Peng that he is already meet on heaven. 😂

Los ultimos jefes deben ser epicos

I am so hyped

This is funny lol the game is not coming to msg LOL THe game is and will be cancel for this LOL 100% if you want to play PS5 only! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Personally i won't get thus game if it's gonna drop wit all these SLOW n BORING move set's,,it's just nit sayin ply mi n i doubt they bosses ha second phases 😢

"Pure Xbox" the irony

Damn series S really holding xbox back. Can't release games unless they can play on both while series S can't keep up. Sure it will be fun on PC tho

I'm not impressed with it at all it looks like the 500 souls games that have came out in the last few years... I do appreciate the black protagonist but it's not enough to get me to buy the game

I feel like I've seen this video before😹

I feel bad for Series X owners who are having games delayed because Xbox decided to make an underpowered budget version of the Series X.

Don't take this a certain but ive heard there may be a public demo in july but till its released or confirmed by the devs take with a pinch of salt

I like the big Blind Buddhist Obiwan Kenobi boss, although Monkey 'KIng' in 'Black Myth,' look more like Monkey 'Retainer' or body double. You suppose to see Monkey King and you like,.WOW, it the Monkey King, invade Celestial Palace, defeat celestial warrior, eat Peach of Immortality. This like. 'Man in the Iron Mask.

I absolutely detest when people describe locations as "characters" It's not a character!

i am learning english, i found there are too many uncommonly used words in this video like bombast,foes etc...i wanna know do people really use these words if needed for expressing respective senses in everyday conversation or they are only used in narratives

Not waiting for Xbox and probably will be buggy like all Xbox games.

An entire year to optimize the game for Xbox Series S? I call bullshit.

this can potentially be the most amazing game of the year, or the most disapointed. I love to be proven wrong, but when I hyped up for Wulong, it let me down.

So phenomenal that it can't even function well enough on the series S to let them release it on the series x at launch.

It looks amazing but looks the same just button hitting all the time ?

Is this game just boss fights, is there any exploration?

MAN between THIS and POE2!!? 😍😫 I almost wish they come out on different years so they both could get the GOTY they both my GOTY! I haven’t been this hyped for any game like I have these two since elden ring and not for a long time before that.

The amount of filthy casuals here is why gaming is dead

I'm going to be disappointed if this is a linear progression game.

spawn wave brought me here
