Woo, Game Science has released another trailer for Black Myth: Wukong! This means more lore, more analysis and more overly detailed thoughts about the WeGame trailer! The video highlights Wukong's golden headband / circlet...perhaps signaling how it's almost time for us to take on the mantel as the new Destined One? đ
As always, my theories are just speculation and the final game can be totally different, but it's still fun to let our imaginations run wild. :)

Based on Game Science's previous work on "Journey to the West," it's clear that they favor subversive storytelling. The original "Journey to the West" can be summarized as a simple tale of good triumphing over evil. However, in their previous game, Game Science introduced some very intriguing ideas and created many new storylines with a subversive twist. For example: Are the good guys really good? Are the gods truly just? How did the villains become villains? What did they go through before turning bad? Are the actions of Sun Wukong's team truly righteous?
Game Science enjoys delving into the small details of the original "Journey to the West" and expanding them into a subversive and dark new narrative. They aren't fond of the fairy tale-like happy ending in the original story. With "Black Myth: Wukong" set after the events of "Journey to the West," things become even more interesting. What has become of the places Sun Wukong and his team once passed through? Have the enemies they defeated returned? Are the good people they once saved still good, or have they fallen and become monsters?
I really liked the example you gave about Greek mythology. I am a Greek Cypriot myself and I would like to add that Greek civilization was also suppressed under Turkish control but not only Greeks eventually relearend their anceint history but the whole planet eventually gained an interest. So I am sure that China is on the right path and has an amazing mythology too!
Wow! I had no idea that the Greeks relearned their ancient history! Were a lot of things destroyed during the Turkish rule too? :(
â@@EmpressXVCypriot here! Unfortunately yes. However, history is never so easily forgotten. Much with a lot of other countries that went through same hardships, as long as their are people who carry their culture with pride, then there is nothing to worry about. Love your videos Empress! Keep up the amazing work!
Ugh, Iâm so sorry that happened đ, but youâre so right! Weâll preserve our cultures. đ¤ Also thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot! â¤ď¸
your video deserves so much more attention. Keep up with the great work. â¤
This means a lot, thank you!! âĽď¸âşď¸
All your videos about black myth are very impressive,just want to thank you for introduce this game to the world,as a Chinese player
Thank you so much for the kind comment. 𼚠Want to do our Chinese myths justice!
So glad I came across your channel! So introspective. đ
Yay, thank you so much for watching! đĽ°
Great video! I've always appreciated a good story & lore in video games. Keep up the great work on these videos!
Thank youuuu, Justiiinnnnnn â¤ď¸
It's always nice to hear your theories, I'm so excited for this game. I haven't bought a PS5 yet but Black Myth: Wukong is reason enough to buy one.
Thank you very much!! âşď¸ And yesss, I imagine itâs ideal to see this beautiful game on a big screen! (I donât have a PS5 either, so planning to play on PC đ )
Thanks!
This is so generous, Justin! Thank you so much â¤ď¸
I thought I was quite familiar with the lore but this is the first time I've heard about 2 additional circlets. Cool.
Just came across your videos đ love the amount of information you provide. Nice to see the theories too. I never considered the game taking place after the book and always thought it was taking place in the first few chapters but then that also doesn't explain headband đ you gave me a lot to think about đ
So kind, thank youuuu!! :3 We did get a lot of trailer scenes that showed events from early in the book, so maybe there will be some flashbacks weâll be able to play through or something đ. Let me know if you have any personal theories to share!
@@EmpressXV yeah I always considered when we saw the video of the old monkey holding the crown it was kinda like the end of maybe start and it's wukong retelling his tale but I have another theory that's on my channel in my latest video if you want to check it out đ
Great analysis! There was a giant black bear demon in one of the trailers so the other two circlets probably will be in the game
Thank youuu for watching! I think I do remember that big bear, but canât recall if he was wearing a circlet in the scene. Either way, I do hope the devs include! :3
What am I looking the most forward to Black Myth Wukong? Probably a longer take on the 1986 theme song. The trailers tease it too much.
YES!!! I got chills when it played at the end of the SGF trailer. Itâs so good
Hey, EmpressXV. You should watched Black Myth Wukong - Took 2 Years To Create A Personal Short Film. You're gonna love it.
Also could the old monkey we keep seeing be the six eared macaque? We already know this game is taking some liberties with the source material, changing the fate of some of the characters like the spider demons. They mightâve done the same with the six eared macaque. This would explain why we keep seeing two different types of sun wukong, the old one we see in the beginning of the first trailer, and the enlightened one we see at the end. I donât know much about enlightenment, but I assume it would stop you from aging.
Oooooo this is a very interesting theory! Especially since the six eared macaque represents Wukongâs dark side, killing him in the novel was symbolic of him overcoming his vices. So if heâs alive in the game, that would mean Wukong was even less victorious than the legends say and didnât overcome his dark side at all đ
Great video
Thanks so much for watching! âşď¸
Can you do a quick story of Journey to the West so that some of us can better understand the game coming out please?

The theory about Karmic Cycles could be somewhat accurate. All the enemies shown in the newest trailer are just "golden" forms of previously shown enemies, so that could potentially mean something.
Empresssssss I love all your Black Myth Wukong videos. I might even get the game thanks to them, even though these kinds of games scare the shit out of me.
BRINDLE!! Haiiii! So appreciate you watching đĽ°đĽ°. But why are you scared? Honestly Iâm kinda scared too haha! Iâm not the best at souls games, I kinda worry if Iâll even be able to get through all the bosses. Just watch me play before you buy to decide LOL
@@EmpressXV Hello! ^_^ Yeah, it's the difficulty, but also the intensity of it all with the creepy bosses. xD I'd love watching you! You'll upload to CZcams? I am usually sleeping when you are streaming, I think.
Totally hear you re: creepy bosses >_
@@EmpressXV Awww you are the best! :)

Hey i had many assumptions for this.
first : was that what if someone strong enemy who could swap bodies with wukong because he wanted to kill him and because of being immortal he couldn't kill him so he swapped bodies with wukong and made him kinda confused so as in the monkey body wukong is right know no one lnows him but still call him destined one because his works are like the one who was destined to do that and ya one more thing is that when he was going to kill that boss monster then the fake monkey in the monkey king's body stopped by the staff glowed because that staff came in contact with the real monkey king soul and the reason why the another monkey swapped his body with monkey king is to kill him in mortal body and by doing that he could live in mo key king body forever.
2nd: is what if the destened one is someone who is a 3rd person spectator kinda guy that knows what will happen in future and is doing everything because it needs to be done so that the monk, monkey king and his 2 friends could be teached about what they're lacking so thats why he fights with everyone so that he could guide those monsters to fight with monkey king so that both Parties could get benefitted as Monkey king and crew could get more knowledge and enlightenment from their journey and those monster could shift from their villan path to change their destiny so that they could end their life cycle or reincarnation journey and could get peace as the whole journey to the west is a well plotted journey that teaches all of us a valuable lesson as Buddha could have given those scriptures to the monk to spread all over china and world by he didn't instead he said to go on a journey to the west as they all could get enlightened and valuable life lessons as the more we know the less we know and after the end of their journey they could teach more by what happened in their journey and give us wise words I think this might be possible.
Ya and in 2nd assumption i could add more like the one who has the head band and who is telling the story are the same and he wants to tell us the story that how a plot is made or what things happened for the situations go go like what they were or why they were and ya one reason that why many demons were behind the life of monk even they all knew who was protecting him, then too came to kill monk is because the demons who we fought and told the way to end their reincarnation cycle might have spread news that if they try to kill konk they would be killd my monkey king and crew and because of which they could end their reincarnation cycle but they had to give a name for that purpose as to not to let the monk and crew know the reason and because of which many demons tried to kill the monk even knowing who are his protectors
Herd the story could be based on sun luzhen...or a story that was similar to the lego monkey king series
I really liked the part when you talked between 0:00-13:05
Hahahaha, youâre the best Jonwar! â¤ď¸
I think you should participate their on-going lore predictions contest! You would be a perfect match!!
I didnât even know they had a predictions contest! đŽ
@@EmpressXV Yes! It's a lore contest, and i believe that you should check that out, it seems that you can participate that with this video!! This video should be seen by more people :)
You are so kind, thank you!! Iâm going to submit today!! Wish me luck âşď¸âşď¸âşď¸
@@EmpressXV Np! Best Luck to YOU!

There has been a theory that the Player Monkey might be Sun Luzhen, from the âLater Journey to the Westâ. In that novel Sun Wukong himself put the Circlet on Luzhen to subdue him after his own Raid on heaven. Sun Wukong helps Luzhen achieves his own enlightenment and eventually fuses with him at the end of that Book. Sounds interesting and it lines up with most of the games lore.
That could be possible! Whatâs giving me pause about that theory though, is the first gameplay reveal had the old monkey saying Black Myth is a story we havenât heard before. The novel with Sun Luzhen is an unofficial sequel, so while itâs not at the level of popularity Journey to the West is, itâs still a story many Chinese people are aware of. Also the game descriptions have always described Black Myth as /inspired by/ Journey to the West - as opposed to a retelling. Imo, it would fall short of its promise if it follows the storyline of ĺžčĽżéč¨.
I'm getting a "Sarah in Labyrinth" vibe. What I'm trying to say is, I like your sleeves. Fr though, it's cool to see old legends making there way into the present whether it's east to west or west to east. Really unfortunate how much history has been destroyed to sate the philosophy of the conquering classes.
Such an iconic movie, so Iâll take it, thank you! They are my favorite sleeve style. đ¤ And completely agree; Iâm all for leaving terrible traditions in the past, but record-keeping history & stories is important.
I think the old monkey is the real Sun Wukong and the one with the golden armor the six eared macaque but we will have multiple ending of the story so everything can change by our choices
This could be cool! What makes you think the positions were swapped? đ
@@EmpressXV maybe the real Sun Wukong decided to not interfere anymore in the mortals realms or he could been trapped by the six eared macaque. He help the destined one in the story
From the channel of GBG. He really like you đđ
From his livestream a while ago? đŽ Iâm grateful he took the time to watch my videos with his community! :3
The possible theory is that the player is truly sun wukong but you can say he lost his memory and power and the one we see which we think is the monkey king is like the manifestation of what left of his memory in a physical form and it was so strong that people thought that they are two different monkey but they both are the same the one is which is the player is the real sun wukong while the other is basically his what left of his memory and how he was like before he lost his memory and the proof is that in the first trailer when the player wanted to kill that wolf then got stop by the monkey king we see his eye began to shine then we see some events that most of us know that happened in the book like sun wukong fighting the heaven and other things this was seem like that player regain the memories and it could be possible if the player is the real wukong and that something might happened him that made him lose his memory especially in so many trailer we saw several statue of buddha with their head cutoff implying that something happened to buddhas thus why the world is in chaos and of course this include wukong since he became a buddha as well
This is very interesting and would be a cool twist! What do you think caused him to lose his memories?
@@EmpressXV
I don't know maybe he was like in verge of death because of something happened that we still don't know about it but someone saved him and sealed his memory and from what i see he maybe got saved by amitabha buddha who is the buddha of the future because he is the only buddha whos statue doesn't have head missing and even we see the player sitting in front of the statue in one of the trailer and we know it's amithaba buddha because the statue that the player is sitting on is based on real life statue which is actually for amitabha buddha and eventually as it is obvious the game follow the concept of the three world buddha
So Xin Yuan is the monkey mind? With how you describe it sounds a heck of a lot like ADD or ADHD lol.
Oh geeze... No it's not ADHD I just got monkeys on my mind! XD
Man I fell face first down the JTTW rabbit hole this past month. And I've gotta say that tracking down the different JTTW movies or Monkey King movies has been a real ride.
Haha, I didnât even think of that comparison! đ But Iâm so glad youâre diving into Journey to the West! Lots of cool existing adaptations out there :3
What are your thoughts on LEGO Monkie Kid in terms of lore?
I havenât looked into it! I admit I havenât played any of the LEGO games đ . Is it fun??
@@EmpressXV It's not a video game, but an animated show.
6/10, not enough claymores
LMAO I laughed way too long at this đ. Maybe I should hide hidden claymores in random parts of future videos
This is off topic but guuuurl your gorgeous đŤ
