Black Myth: Wukongis now the most-wishlisted game on Steam, thanks chiefly toHades 2stealth-launching into Early Access yesterday.

May 6 brought quite the shock:Hades 2 was out immediately in Steam Early Access. Thanks to this, Supergiant’s hotly anticipated sequel was taken offSteam’s wishlist chartssince it had actually launched, and upcoming action RPG Black Myth: Wukong has taken its place at pole position.

If you’re unfamiliar with Black Myth: Wukong, it’s a new action-packed RPG in development from Chinese studio Game Science, and it’s giving major Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice vibes with its fast-paced combat boasting inch-perfect parrying and rapid attacking in quick succession.It’s the first in a planned trilogy of gamesbased around Chinese mythology, to there’s lots more to come.

Somewhat perplexingly, Black Myth: Wukong has overtaken none other than the long-gestatingHollow Knight: Silksongto claim the top spot on the Steam chart. Team Cherry’s sequel is extremely anticipated by a rabid fan base, so that’s a bit of a surprise. However, considering there’s been pretty much zero information about the sequel for nearly a year now, perhaps it’s not such a shock after all.
