As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for uncovering hidden gems, I must say that my heart skips a beat whenever I hear the name “Black Myth: Wukong“. This game has been an absolute rollercoaster ride of anticipation and excitement since its initial tech demo back in 2020. The visuals alone are a feast for the eyes, reminiscent of a living, breathing Chinese mythology brought to life.
Among the numerous standout titles this year, Black Myth: Wukong stands out as one of the best, and there’s a good reason why. However, a sneak peek at the Golden Joysticks Awards implies that more is in store for Sun Wukong, possibly soon. Developed by a relatively small Chinese team, Game Science Studio’s tribute to Journey to the West with Black Myth: Wukong has been a hit even before it was playable. A video from 2020 showcasing a monkey-like character with a magical staff and a colossal wolf-like boss received over 1.6 million views, making it a highly anticipated title.
Contrary to certain titles that deteriorated in quality before release, Black Myth: Wukong appeared to improve significantly with each video preview, reaching a highly anticipated launch in August. In fact, it broke records as the most-played single-player Steam game on its debut day. As a result, accolades were well-deserved, and fortunately for them, the Golden Joysticks Awards recognized its excellence.
Black Myth: Wukong emerged victorious with two prestigious accolades on that particular evening: the Best Visual Design award and, most significantly, the Game of the Year. This indie game triumphed over heavyweights such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Astro Bot, and Helldivers 2. In his heartfelt, pre-recorded speech at 1:05, director Feng Ji acknowledged the Golden Joysticks Awards, which were determined by fans’ votes. As a teaser to the dedicated players who completed the game, he hinted that there would be further surprises for Black Myth: Wukong in the coming months of this year.
What’s in Black Myth: Wukong’s Future?
While some might speculate about sequels or spin-offs, it’s more likely that Black Myth: Wukong will become available on additional consoles, specifically the Xbox Series X|S. Originally, the game was only released on PlayStation 5 and Steam, leaving Xbox players without the thrill of this action-packed title. Not long ago, an ESRB rating for a Xbox version of Black Myth: Wukong was published on their official site. However, creator Feng Ji has hinted at rewards for those who finished the game, suggesting there might be another unexpected twist in store.
It’s been buzzing around and reported by GameRant that some form of DLC or expansion might be coming for Black Myth: Wukong. Although the specific details are yet to be revealed, it’s not surprising for a successful game like this one to continue producing content given the current gaming market. Moreover, the Journey to the West and Chinese mythology offer an abundance of stories that can be drawn upon for future content.
The fervor surrounding “Black Myth: Wukong” hasn’t waned since its August debut, and it continues to gain momentum with an increasing array of awards. Recently, the game was nominated in four significant categories at The Game Awards 2024: Best Action Game, Best Art Direction, Best Game Direction, and Game of the Year. Its victory at the Golden Joysticks Awards, despite “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth” sweeping the awards there, suggests a potential upset for other nominees such as “Metaphor: ReFantazio” and “Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
