Black Myth: Wukong

Game overview

Black Myth: Wukong is a single-player action RPG rooted in Chinese mythology. Players take the role of the Destined One and embark on a dangerous journey through places shaped by gods, monsters, and the legacy of an earlier pilgrimage.

Journey to the West is a major source of inspiration. The game brings figures, creatures, landscapes, and ideas from classical literature into a modern blend of combat, exploration, and storytelling. It is an important starting point for MythChinaGames coverage and a prominent example of how traditional Chinese themes can be reimagined through games.
