It’s no surprise that any game even remotely reminiscent of the very popular Soulslike genre is bound to blow up, but nobody could have expected just how successful Black Myth: Wukong would be on launch.
Created by Chinese development team Game Science and backed by Tencent Holdings, Black Myth: Wukong is described as an action RPG rooted in Chinese mythology where players embody the “Destined One” as they embark on a journey to uncover the obscured truth hidden in the world’s history.
