Black Myth: Wukong, the just-released RPG from publisher Game Science, just got a new two minute trailer that debuted at theFuture Games Show, and it looks like it’s all go in this bloodthirsty homage to Journey to the West. Of all the many, many,manystrange creatures that pop up in that short time, my current favourite is the oni-headed seagull/falcon creature with the theatrical delivery that claims the lofty title of the “Keeper of the New West” - but it’s not like there aren’t a fair few to choose from.
Wukong’s new trailer starts with more of a narrative focus, shifting into gameplay in the back half. The game’s hero, the Destined One, asks some understandable questions about good and evil, his mentor points out that good only wins if it’s willing to show “teeth”, and that sets a pretty clear tone for the high-minded fantasy epic.

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University, none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life. As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
