Black Myth: WuKong's visually stunning debut trailer proves we're in for some real monkey magic

If you've been holding off investing in a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X ecosystem, now might be the perfect time to reconsider. Ahead of the official release on August 20, Chinese developer Game Science has dropped a short snippet of its highly anticipated action RPG, Black Myth: Wukong.

To backtrack, the game was first announced in 2020, when the studio revealed a 13-minute gameplay trailer. The footage gave players a gorgeous glimpse into the stunning visuals, smooth movements and animations, as well as a variety of graphical effects bursting onto the screen after each successful combat hit. While the gameplay was narrated in Mandarin, it didn't stop the clip from becoming an overnight sensation as the video currently has over 10 million views.
