Developer shows new gameplay of Dark Souls-esque Black Myth: Wukong

Chinese developer Game Science released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming action RPG Black Myth: Wukong on Friday. The video shows, among other things, a boss fight with a large Chinese dragon.

Announced last year by developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong features gameplay very similar to the gameplay of the Dark Souls games, with tough battles and strong bosses. The developer already released an extensive gameplay video see the alpha of the game. Now Game Science shows an ‘Unreal Engine 5 gameplay test’.

The action RPG is based on the book Journey to the West from the sixteenth century. The game follows the mythical figure of Sun Wukong, a monkey with supernatural powers. This is reflected in the gameplay, where Sun Wukong takes out various enemies with a staff and takes on a Chinese dragon.

It is not yet known when the game will be released. The developer wants to release the game for PC and consoles, and is also considering streaming platforms if they can run the game smoothly.
