This summer promises a whole lot of adventure, with big-name titles such as Star Wars Outlaws and Black Myth: Wukong stealing the spotlight for many. Like many of you, I’m most excited about the latter, and also, like you, I want additional details on the gameplay. Well, here is everything we know about Black Myth: Wukong, including its features, release date, and more!
When is the Black Myth: Wukong Release Date?
First and foremost, let’s get this one out of the way. Black Myth: Wukong officially releases on August 20 for PC and PlayStation 5. The action-adventure, which is almost Soulslike but not quite, also launches on Xbox Series X|S but at a later date that’s currently unavailable to the masses. But it’s happening!

Black Myth: Wukong Features
- Black Myth: Wukong does not feature an open world, as previously thought, but is a more linear experience overall.
- Despite the more linear approach, every area will feature hidden paths and bosses to challenge as side content.
- Speaking of side content, there are side quests to tackle.
- However, the main campaign features different chapters and levels within each telling a specific, linear story.
- Throughout the story, you will face various choices with consequences.
- Every boss features a detailed background you can read through upon defeating them.
- It’s not a straightforward hack-and-slash action adventure, as you can defeat enemies using creative means, such as without violence.
- The overall difficulty is akin to Jedi: Fallen Order, but there aren’t any difficulty options to tone down the experience.
- Boss fights feel quick and brutal, not lengthy ordeals.

Should you choose to pre-order Black Myth: Wukong, you’ll receive the Trailblazer’s Scarlet Gourd. It’s an in-game item that you can earn through regular gameplay means, but you’ll unlock it early for your trouble.
