Black Myth Wukong is an upcoming next gen RPG with sunning graphics and much more underneath the surface. Here's what we know. Subscribe for more: czcams.com/users/gameranxTV?su...
Sun Wukong's staff is called Ruyi Jingu Bang, and it is a divine weapon given to him by the Dragon King I think. It grows to any size he wants. As tall as a mountain or as small as a needle.
It can also be as wide as you want… it’s really up to him what he wants to do with it. It was also written he could multiply the staff with magic and shit like that. Wukong is crazy
also its AKA "The Wishing Staff" in english, he literally just goes there beats up the guards and demands a magical weapon from the dragon king. i wonder if we can get that weapon?
This is exactly why there shouldn’t be any other weapons. I think a focus on the staff’s abilities gives opportunity for a very creative and fun combat system as a sole weapon.
I saw this game's gameplay few months ago and I thought that it's too good to be true. I really hope it becomes a reality because it literally looks perfect visually and I would love to experience an RPG game with new atmosphere and background.
I am sooo glad I found this channel!!! Not only do we get great creator and developer updates like this, we get great production value as well. Jake and Falcon and all the staff at gameranx thank you! Your work here just got me super interested in this game. I don't get to keep up on the industry that well so the daily content is very much appreciated!
As a Chinese gamer, I am excited for what this game can bring to the global gaming community. Chinese mythology is a treasure trove of wonderful stories largely undiscovered by mainstream game developers. Journey to the West is a very good introductory piece to the fantasy world of classical Chinese mythologies. I can't wait to see my childhood bedtime stories on a gaming screen. This is hundreds of millions of kids' dream come true. Absolutely looking forward to this. Fingers crossed please let this be good.
@@rickstorm4198 I’m not currently in China right now so I can’t speak to the truth of reports about Shanghai. Things do look pretty grim and I hope the situation gets better soon. That said let’s stick to the topic being discussed? 😅
Finally we’re seeing more about Blackmyth! It caught my eye immediately when they showed the first trailer. The setting is so unique, the visuals are amazing and the gameplay seems solid too! I will definitely be keeping up with this one.
I’m guessing this is going to be a “god of war meets dark souls” type of game. Where there’s very little customization because you’re not playing as a random NPC but rather a very specific character with very specific powers.
Sun Wukong in mythology can actually do almost anything.....can even shoot light beams like superman's heat vision from his eye......I think there will still be an equipment system, with powers they can do a lot of customization with the transformations alone
@@pieceofwood7064 Yeah, my guess is that these transformations will be our "weapon and armor" choices. For example, if you want to use a super cool fire greatsword you need to have the fire spirt transformation equipped. Maybe we will get to walk around with 4-5 transformations at a time before needing to find a bonfire to change.
This game, alongside "The Day Before" are both games that look incredible, but everyone should be very sceptical about, because they simply seem too be good to be true.
There hasn’t been an update on The Day before una while. I honestly believe they don’t even have a game. There’s no way in hell it’s dropping this June.
From everything I've been able to find since the first clip way back when gameplay was shown in order to help find people to work on the project, which in and of itself was a brilliant idea, Wukong is only the beginning of a series. They have many others that they plan to release under Black Myth.
1:35 you’ve actually missed a fourth one in the trailer. It’s the 齊天大聖 version. (The heavenly version of Wukong) so we don’t know if that’ll be the actual one we’ll get to play as either.
Everything about this game till now is perfect. The lack of weapons holds to it's title myth. As in the myths sun wukong only has his staff. And the transformation aspect really looks good. Overall, I love mythology and would like to see it as mythologically accurate as possible. They can maybe add other storylines for charaters from the journey to the west.
I loved reading Journey to the West. The Rise of the Monkey King, Trouble in Heaven, and The Immortal Peaches. It’ll be great to play a game based off that 16th century novel which also influenced the popular Dragon Ball franchise.
I do agree that some of the transformation maybe optional and kinda like a collectible or some sort considering the number, but making them randomly dropped like a weapon seem to be unlikely due to the transformations being a vital aspect/ability in the story of Sun Wu Kong.
Despite how I loved Elden Ring I'd say open world could be a trap. It takes a lot of experience and resource to pull off right. I think for the best of this project it's better for them to follow a non-open world approach but focus on the level design and non-linearity instead.
I remember when I saw the gameplay trailer for the first time, my mind immediately went to the show from years ago called journey to the west (as the name of the novel). I think there was also a film with Jackie Chan and Jet Li Which was loosely based on it. I'm very curious as to what the full game would be like.
I love that there are more games coming out to compete with FromSoft, dont get me wrong I love all the fromsoft games. thousands of hours put into those. I am happy to see more people enter the space with good intentions to further the genre not just copy it.
yeah it would be nice to have a quality souls like, because all of them suck. The surge, lord's of the fallen, hell point, mortal shell, they all just feel too janky.
This gave me more of a God of War vibe with the camera angle and combat. It’s probably a linear story, and it seems to have a reactive combat system like God of War
I have been very excited for this gorgeous looking game. The characters and enemies have been so interesting and I would love to see more. Plus the landscapes are breath taking
this game has looked CRAZY incredible since its first trailer - I really hope they're able to get a smooth movement and combat system with a lot of depth of combos/creativity, that's the most important thing for me - if the game feels good to play and interact with, I think it will help to draw people in, because atm NOTHING feels as fluid as a souls game
I think that your for certain playing as wu Kong as his staff which was actually a pillar (I think from the big boss dragon) that could change shape when needed and duplicates through god magic so is an extremely special thing as although journey to the west has many fancy and odd weapons (they literally have a sneer that sucks up anything and a jar that melts you) but these are all tied to specific demons/gods
I think with the weapons and abilities shown, it's reasonable enough to assume you do play as Sun Wukong. I've been so hyped for this game since the first teaser trailer. Feels good to see this game getting more attention in the west.
No video game developer should ever consider the sales figures in just their country, especially if you intend on selling the title globally. Sure, 80% of the game market in China is mobile, but the global game market has millions of PC players as well.
China probably had as many mobile gamers in China alone as ps gamers in the world. Soo the video game industry seems like it's purposefully not including you
I have been chomping at the bit for this game to come out and been following it since the first trailer. The graphics are insane, the movement, the gameplay. The day I can preorder this game I am in ❤
A lot depends on how closely they want to follow the lore of WuKong. The staff itself is mythical that can expand or shrink. For example he shrinks it down so small he can put it in his ear in the lore. Anyway personally excited to see how they do this but I'm ok with staying with the staff as long it stick to mythical status in the lore.
Hey man, it's a nice change that this isn't a "10 things we want...." list kinda thing. I love your lists, I watch em everytime. But it's nice to just hear you talk about something, without the top 10 thing going on ✌ Best channel on CZcams 4 sho 👏
The transformations are really cool. There's not a lot of action games nowadays where you can do something like that on the go. The staff extending upwards when the ground is being electrocuted is also awesome. The mechanics and physics of this game has me hyped, the beautiful graphics is just a plus for me. Still, I want to keep my expectations low because what we see in these trailers might not be what we get in the final product.
My Girlfriend is Chinese, and because of her I got to read the books and learn deeply about the Journey to the West and how much this means to Chinese people. This tale is something it’s told to kids as a bedtime story, the original show is something carved in their hearts and it’s beautiful to see her excited for it, and now me! It’s crazy to me how insane this story is and no one has been able to make it real in any form of recent medium properly. People that don’t know the story, should go read some of this character’s feats and what he can do, that will get you excited for the game. Apparently there is a lot of theories that people make of the original story, and the characters and the world… some crazy theories, and I think this game aims to explore this darker side of the story, since the actual book are suppose to be a comedy and very philosophical.
Ruyi jin gu bang (i.e. golden staff) is the favorite weapon of Wukong. He stole the golden staff from the palace of the east sea dragon (east poseidon? whatever.). The staff weights around 68,000 kg and it changes size according to Wukong's will. Wukong will normally shift the staff to needle size and keep it in his ear.
At like 8:55, I think this is a reference to the many times that Sun Wukong has challenged the heavens and fought them all to a standstill, I mean the title he's given himself is 'The Great Sage Equal to Heavens' so having him fight what looks like a celestial army would be very cool. Can't wait for its release it looks like so much fun and I can't wait to spend hours of my freetime researching the lore of the game.
I've been excited for the game for a while, but for two issues- 1. The combat doesn't feel really during certain gameplay trailers (felt like it would be button-mashy since the stamina bar wasn't depleting much). Though they may intend to iterate the gameplay and tighten up the difficulty. 2. There are so many abilities for the Monkey King that I wonder if this should be split into a series of games so that the mechanics have enough time to breathe during the progression.
If we’re being realistic in the time frame I speculate wu Kong wouldn’t have a health bar, like he’s eaten an entire grove/orchard of immortal peaches I think a bunch of immortal booze and a bunch of other things that grant immortality
considering how nearly unkillable the monkey king is in the actual myth i think it would be good to make him lose through other medium, maybe failing to protect the monk or be sealed by some strong magic, i dont really know honestly.
The trailer was so friggin good! I was hyped but skeptical when the trailer was released but still hoping for the best since Journey to the West is one of my favorite childhood series
@Gameranx I really hope the people who are making this game take their time and make this a masterpiece cause I already am on the boat for the monkey king I just need to read the novel
The monkey king is an absolute unit!!! It took a few gods to take him out and when he got his powers back he was able to beat those same gods...game looks amazing
My main concern is the Chinese government’s random approval/disapproval that can sink a game no matter what. Hopefully they can finish and get it past the censors and out to us.
It prolly had to get pre-approved to get started. Its based on a Chinese legend...should show an interesting side to Chinese culture and whatnot. So I think it won't be shutdown by the gov.
The game looks like something that is in-line with Chinese public diplomacy. They want to promote their ancient culture and mythology. From what I can see, this is one of the few types of games that can be released.
For us more "seasoned" folk, there was a Very popular young adult tv show called Monkey based on "A journey to the west". Extremely good value show for the time.
I've been looking forward to this since the first time I seen it. It looks absolutely beautiful and the combat looks fantastic. I cant wait until its released and look forward to countless rage quits while playing.
The game play looks amazing, backgrounds look like something you could get lost in, but what has caught my attention the most was the music playing in the background. Please tell me that's music from the game. There's one thing I really rely on in games and that's a stellar sound track to keep you moving forward in the game; something that grounds you, gives you the energy to go for it, something that calms you in between battles, and, when the battles begin, something that riles you up so you can get your reflexes going and your blood pumping! The music in a game is what can, for me take a game from a 9 to a 10, or take a game that's amazing and brings it down a notch when the music is a let down. Too many times I've found I've gotten bored too quickly of a soundtrack and had to turn off the GM and turn on my Spotify Playlist, which can really take you out of a game. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
I think that it’s gonna be between wu Kongs time before meeting quan yin (for the Buddhist he will be protector/bodyguard for)but still have all the god stuff and his exile for killing what everyone but him thought was an old man, an old lady and a young woman but was actually just a demon( you can tell cus some points he has a golden headband that was stuck to him by quan yin) (I’m sorry if I, wrong about the exile thing, there might be more than one point he was stuck away from the group or just kicked out for varying reasons)
The thing about Souls like games that I don't like is that hard does not always equal fun. If they do make it so you can take a few hits before you're in trouble, I'd like that very much.
I wouldn't mind if Black Myth: Wu-kong would be linear, but I think the developers need to make the players stay curious. To be on the look-out for hidden areas/quests/items, that actually add to the story rather than turn into a hollow rat-run which many linear games tend to be that got (for example) collectables. Looking forward to it!
See as a person who use to watch those really old shows Monkey Magic and various films loving the character and getting into the story of Su-Wukong the Monkey King I'm really looking forward to this! 🐵
I really hope this isn't too much like a souls game. Difficulty wise aswell as story wise. It's one thing making a game brutally difficult but then also making the story so pathetically difficult to understand and piece together puts a lot of players off
Well you just pretty much summed up what a game for grown-ups is. Not for children. I hope it is difficult to play and not straightforward to understand.
@@Blagotebi1 that was such a child like statement!! So a game with a straight forward story isn’t a game for ‘grown ups’?! RDR2? TLOU 1&2? Uncharted series? Ghost of Tsushima? Dead Space? Assassins Creed? A game that appeals to a mature audience doesn’t need to have a bare bones story or even souls like combat. All the games I mentioned and hundreds of others have decent stories and manageable difficulty and can be considered as games aimed for those of us who are no longer dependant on our parents!!!
This game reminds me of the anime God of Highschool with the monkey king, his staff (which is called Yeoui). If you read the manga you could see so many Yeoui forms and maybe learn some lore about it (it is an anime adaptation of the original story but it still has quite similar concepts/lore about it)
Sun Wukong's staff is called Ruyi Jingu Bang, and it is a divine weapon given to him by the Dragon King I think. It grows to any size he wants. As tall as a mountain or as small as a needle.
It can also be as wide as you want… it’s really up to him what he wants to do with it.

@@hdihiiehei one is an action game and the other is an action RPG...
Yeah I was thinking God of War and they were thinking Dark Souls. Unfortunately, one of us is setting ourselves up for disappointment.
This game, alongside "The Day Before" are both games that look incredible, but everyone should be very sceptical about, because they simply seem too be good to be true.
They showed real gameplay footages in pretty early stage. Looks more promising than many games I would say.
its probably gonna be god-of-war like, linear with very pretty set pieces with 15 hour playtime. A good action-y distraction, but not an "rpg".
There hasn’t been an update on The Day before una while. I honestly believe they don’t even have a game. There’s no way in hell it’s dropping this June.

I believe it will be a mix. This doesn’t seem as clunky and much more fluid.
Combat looks nothing like Souls. Way too fast. Not much parrying or blocking. If it’s Monkey King, chances are there’s one weapon.

If we’re being realistic in the time frame I speculate wu Kong wouldn’t have a health bar, like he’s eaten an entire grove/orchard of immortal peaches I think a bunch of immortal booze and a bunch of other things that grant immortality
It will probably just be one of those games where your character is "knocked out" and you respawn at the checkpoint
@@Yokonato ye probably
considering how nearly unkillable the monkey king is in the actual myth i think it would be good to make him lose through other medium, maybe failing to protect the monk or be sealed by some strong magic, i dont really know honestly.
Not every game is "souls" like 😒 most games people say that don't even resemble the genre.
I really hope this game is as good as it looks. I've been not so patiently waiting for it since it was announced 😅
The trailer was so friggin good! I was hyped but skeptical when the trailer was released but still hoping for the best since Journey to the West is one of my favorite childhood series
Pretty sure that's a bat...
Bro that’s a Bo staff lmao
@@sneakrzzz8669 he transformed into a bo staff and flew through the air?!...
I’m excited for this game & the lies of P. Can’t wait for them to come out
@Gameranx I really hope the people who are making this game take their time and make this a masterpiece cause I already am on the boat for the monkey king I just need to read the novel
The monkey king is an absolute unit!!! It took a few gods to take him out and when he got his powers back he was able to beat those same gods...game looks amazing
My main concern is the Chinese government’s random approval/disapproval that can sink a game no matter what. Hopefully they can finish and get it past the censors and out to us.
It prolly had to get pre-approved to get started. Its based on a Chinese legend...should show an interesting side to Chinese culture and whatnot. So I think it won't be shutdown by the gov.
The game looks like something that is in-line with Chinese public diplomacy. They want to promote their ancient culture and mythology. From what I can see, this is one of the few types of games that can be released.
poor thing
This game truly excites me, if its as good as what we've been shown this could easily be the best souls game outside of fromsoftware.
I would keep my expectations very low.
@@blair5475 i'm not expecting anything ground breaking, but it does look beautiful.
My most anticipated game of 2023, fingers crossed it comes out that year 🤞🏻
For us more "seasoned" folk, there was a Very popular young adult tv show called Monkey based on "A journey to the west". Extremely good value show for the time.
>drinks a health potion
>”estus flask like mechanic”
These over the top mindless souls-like comparisons really need to stop..
Blackmyth: Wukong and Genshin Impact are probably the only bits of gaming news to come out of China that gets me excited and not concerned
US news make me way more concerned than China's but I get your point.
the art and artists on this game are absolutely incredible
I’m beyond excited for this game! Fingers are crossed that it’s good, and comes out in 2023 🤞
I've been looking forward to this since the first time I seen it. It looks absolutely beautiful and the combat looks fantastic. I cant wait until its released and look forward to countless rage quits while playing.
You’ve survived elden ring you’ll be fine
@@DatKidWreckzx try playing sekiro I got through half the game and stopped because the game was so hard
For those who don't know: Wukong's weapon is the staff only, and the staff can only be used by Wukong.
LOL, the "30!" edits got me
The game play looks amazing, backgrounds look like something you could get lost in, but what has caught my attention the most was the music playing in the background. Please tell me that's music from the game. There's one thing I really rely on in games and that's a stellar sound track to keep you moving forward in the game; something that grounds you, gives you the energy to go for it, something that calms you in between battles, and, when the battles begin, something that riles you up so you can get your reflexes going and your blood pumping! The music in a game is what can, for me take a game from a 9 to a 10, or take a game that's amazing and brings it down a notch when the music is a let down. Too many times I've found I've gotten bored too quickly of a soundtrack and had to turn off the GM and turn on my Spotify Playlist, which can really take you out of a game. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
I mean graphically it looks like it already has elden ring beat! Here's hoping for something special!
not exactly hard lol
elden ring looks awful, even gta 5 beats it
I hope this game can be as good as Sekiro at least
Been watching this title for a while, I can't wait for it to come out.
I think that it’s gonna be between wu Kongs time before meeting quan yin (for the Buddhist he will be protector/bodyguard for)but still have all the god stuff and his exile for killing what everyone but him thought was an old man, an old lady and a young woman but was actually just a demon( you can tell cus some points he has a golden headband that was stuck to him by quan yin) (I’m sorry if I, wrong about the exile thing, there might be more than one point he was stuck away from the group or just kicked out for varying reasons)
The thing about Souls like games that I don't like is that hard does not always equal fun. If they do make it so you can take a few hits before you're in trouble, I'd like that very much.
Yes but when will it release
This game does look incredible, I hope it comes out and is a strong contender for goty at the time. I'd love for it to be truly legendary.
The last Journey to the West game to my knowledge was "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West" which i really liked, looking forward to this retelling!
Damn, Elden Ring came and gone??? Sheesh, I’m still playing it lol.
Nah it didn’t bros drunk
Are we really making the claim it'll follow dark souls? I was hearing it was more dmc with a ton of abilities and transformations
I wouldn't mind if Black Myth: Wu-kong would be linear, but I think the developers need to make the players stay curious. To be on the look-out for hidden areas/quests/items, that actually add to the story rather than turn into a hollow rat-run which many linear games tend to be that got (for example) collectables.
Looking forward to it!
See as a person who use to watch those really old shows Monkey Magic and various films loving the character and getting into the story of Su-Wukong the Monkey King I'm really looking forward to this!
🐵
Im just not going to get excited anymore even as I watch this im 😐 I dont want to get cyberpunked, anthem'ed or fallout 76'ed. Trust issues are real
I really hope this isn't too much like a souls game. Difficulty wise aswell as story wise.
It's one thing making a game brutally difficult but then also making the story so pathetically difficult to understand and piece together puts a lot of players off
Your name checks out
Well you just pretty much summed up what a game for grown-ups is. Not for children. I hope it is difficult to play and not straightforward to understand.
@@Blagotebi1 that was such a child like statement!! So a game with a straight forward story isn’t a game for ‘grown ups’?! RDR2? TLOU 1&2? Uncharted series? Ghost of Tsushima? Dead Space? Assassins Creed? A game that appeals to a mature audience doesn’t need to have a bare bones story or even souls like combat. All the games I mentioned and hundreds of others have decent stories and manageable difficulty and can be considered as games aimed for those of us who are no longer dependant on our parents!!!
This game reminds me of the anime God of Highschool with the monkey king, his staff (which is called Yeoui). If you read the manga you could see so many Yeoui forms and maybe learn some lore about it (it is an anime adaptation of the original story but it still has quite similar concepts/lore about it)
Well that character is based off monkey king from journey to the west
that's unique culture of story with insane graphics i hope it's great than we expect:)
