As a seasoned gamer and a connoisseur of Chinese mythology, I have been eagerly following the developments in the gaming industry from the East. The release of Black Myth: Wukong was a breath of fresh air, offering a unique blend of combat, graphics, and storytelling that resonated with gamers worldwide. Now, with the rumors swirling about this upcoming AAA title, I find myself on the edge of my seat, anticipation coursing through my veins like the mighty Yangtze River itself.
Black Myth: Wukong was highly anticipated for years prior to its 2024 release due to its stunning graphics, engaging gameplay, and inspiration drawn from the classic tale, Journey to the West. Upon release, it received widespread acclaim, but Chinese developers are not content to rest on their laurels. A well-respected leak source and detective, Lunatic Ignus, has given some hints about an unannounced AAA game being developed by a Chinese studio. At this point, details are scarce, but some images have been leaked, offering a sneak peek into what’s to come. These images were shared on Twitter by Lunatic Ignus, along with a few specifics, which can be found in the list below.
- It uses Unreal Engine 5.
- Will release on PlayStation 5 and PC.
- Sony has picked it up (likely as a producer).
- No release date.
- It is an open-world action-RPG.
- It has a map size of 960km².
In the realm of gaming, Black Myth: Wukong captivated players with its thrilling combat and demanding boss battles, particularly the Wandering Wight. Add to that its stunning visuals and immersive world, and you’ve got all the ingredients for an extraordinary game. However, when Lunatic Ignus said “It looks even better than Black Myth: Wukong”, it certainly raised some eyebrows!
At first sight, the game appears to be set in an ancient Chinese era, suggested by the architectural structures and characters’ attire. It’s said these images are taken within the game, and they truly look impressive. If the whispers about it being open-world are correct, that would make it even more fascinating. The reported size of 960 square kilometers is considerably larger than both “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” by Nintendo.
Regrettably, the latest game title seems to be absent from the Xbox platform for now, similar to Black Myth: Wukong which was initially, though possibly headed towards the Xbox Series X according to rumors. While it’s not definitive that this game won’t eventually arrive on Xbox, it’s reasonable to assume that Xbox players might have to wait until a later date to play this at launch. With very little information available about its release, it seems highly unlikely that this title will be available in 2025, but we can expect more updates soon.
In recent years, Chinese game developers have been making a strong presence, particularly with the release of “Black Myth: Wukong”, but other titles are also under development. These include “Where Winds Meet” from Everstone Studio, “Phantom Blade Zero” by S-GAME, and “Wuchang: Fallen Feathers”, showcased in October’s Xbox Showcase and developed by Leenzee Games.
These games belong to the action-RPG category, featuring both expansive open-worlds and more structured environments. They all take inspiration from China’s profound history and folklore, a domain that has been underrepresented in video gaming. Many of them are Wuxia style games, incorporating role-playing aspects to deepen the player’s connection with Chinese culture.
Sony’s participation in the project suggests that the game could be a hit among gamers, as Sony’s financial backing of single-player games has generally been fruitful. However, since there isn’t much information available about this upcoming Chinese video game yet, it’s challenging to make definitive statements. We’ll need to compare it with Black Myth: Wukong to fully understand its potential, but so far, it appears to have a promising foundation.
