After more than 18 million sales, Black Myth: Wukong is officially getting a physical release on PS5, and you can preorder a copy now at major retailers. Wukong physical edition listings currently have placeholder dates, but we’ll update this article once an official release date is revealed.
Developed by Chinese game studio GameScience, Black Myth: Wukong is a fast-paced action-RPG game inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. As The Destined One, players have to navigate a dangerous world full of mythical monsters.
“It’s not uncommon to go from one boss fight into another and then another, and it’s in these elaborate battles where Black Myth: Wukong shines,” Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot’s 8/10 Black Myth: Wukong review. The moments in between, however, aren’t quite as strong, sometimes devolving into aimless tedium. But its satisfying combat and unique variety of boss fights mostly manages to overcome these flaws.”
The release date for the upcoming Xbox Series X|S version of Black Myth: Wukong hasn’t been announced yet, although this is reportedly due to a non-publicized exclusivity clause between Sony and GameScience.
