Black Myth: Wukong - Hands-On Preview from Summer Game Fest

Huber got to spend a couple hours with Black Myth: Wukong and comes back to tell us how it feels and how he fared against its gauntlet of crazy bosses.

Coming Aug 20th to PC and PlayStation 5

The more we saw of this game, the more I felt it looked too good to be true. But hearing how excited he was about the game, sounds like it really is true. I am beyond hyped to play this.

The linear maps seem like the perfect environments for me personally. Aint got time for vast ass open worlds at the moment.

I love how this guy is genuinely excited to have played this game. Just seems like a true gamer at heart. Dope to see

[ChrisLT]

Huber knocked it out of the park at SGF, consistently some of my favorite coverage. Fun and hyped, but in depth and knowledgeable. Great work.

[pasta]

The animation in this game is super impressive

Why are people scared of linear games? I'd take a linear game over a open world slogfest any day

Talking about the environment issue: Since the story of the game is inspired by “Journey to the West”, the environment of certain chapter in the game will be reflecting certain chapter in the novel. This demo is showing one classical place in the novel called Black Wind Mountain, which will definitely change during the whole game. No worries guys stay hyped!

I have been following Easy Allies since they were GameTrailers. This is honestly the best video game channel out there. Idk how this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers. Keep up the good work gents

[Sputnik]

Very happy to hear this is more than a visual fest. Can't wait!

[EldenKaz]

Black Myth looks amazing, easy day one purchase… Also, wish that people would stop calling every other game a “souls-like”, it’s getting overused and incorrectly compared. (Not even necessarily talking about this video, just in general)

[XZhang-cfoe]

According to Chinese media's closed-door playtest videos, the Black Wind Mountain level they played (I assume is the one you guys played too) has 11 bosses. ELEVEN. Wow.

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 0:49, 2:18, 3:54, 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.

you just know the soundtrack is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[xdarkswanwaterx]

Journey to the West is a story I grew up with and I am so glad that Chinese devs are going to do this world some justice!! I need the story to be a 9, the voice acting and soundtrack to be 10s (so far from the trailers they are sounding good!!) and the gameplay to be at least a 7. From what Huber is saying here I’m hopeful!

[Nemomaycarry]

Glad you enjoyed the demo!!!! Can't wait to play this game in hand after 64 days!!!!

[Mac_N_Cheezy]

Just a quick fun fact since Huber called him "Monkey man" The monkey is actually the titular "Wukong" and his full name is Sun Wu Kong which is also where DBZ's Goku got his name. Son Goku and Sun Wu Kong are the same exact name in Chinese and Japanese (孫悟空) except for the difference in pronunciations.

[mathieubeauvais]

Ohhhh just the fact that he said the gameplay was great and it wasn’t only looking good made this even better !!! Now i’m even more hyped !! 😃

[谢毅鸿]

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.

Guys I can't express how big of a character Wukong is within Chinese culture. Everyone knows his story and he's been the basis for other Big characters like Goku. Game Science, the Chinese Studio making the game knows the story soo well, I can't wait to see what new twist they put on it. This is not a soul's light game this is completely original
