Gearing up to take Elden Ring’s throne, Game Science’s Black Myth: Wukong has absolutely surged up the Steam wishlist charts, and now it’s one of the top most-wish-listed games on Valve’s service. There’s a clear reason why this is one of the most anticipated titles of the year: it looks incredible.
Due to its Souslike aspect, Black Myth: Wukong has often been compared to FromSoftware’s famous title, Elden Ring. However, new details have surfaced which clearly prove that Black Myth: Wukong brings something to the table that even Elden Ring can’t.
This Is What Separates Black Myth: Wukong From Elden Ring
Only a few video games have managed to take hold of the gaming industry, such as Elden Ring. FromSoftware’s latest action RPG title has been commended for its interactive open world, immense creativity, and collection of tough bosses. With its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Elden Ring has managed to establish itself as the face of the Soulslike genre.
Since Black Myth: Wukong’s reveal, gamers have drawn comparisons between it and Elden Ring. Despite the tough competition it faces, Game Science has managed to bring some elements to Black Myth: Wukong, which sets it apart from its rivals in the industry.
One of the major differences between Black Myth: Wukong and Elden Ring is the game’s unique storyline. Over the years, players have complained about Elden Ring‘s complex plotline, which can be hard to keep up with. Black Myth: Wukong‘s exciting storyline, which draws from Journey to the West, allows for clarity and focus, ultimately enhancing player immersion.
While open-world games such as Elden Ring can be quite fun, they often overwhelm players with too many choices or filler content, reducing the overall quality of gameplay experience. However, Black Myth: Wukong doesn’t feature an open world but brings a massive game world that’s filled with branching paths that hold secrets to uncover.
Elden Ring has made a name for itself among gamers for bringing the most rage-inducing enemies and bosses that have forced players to quit outright. Black Myth: Wukong seems to be a little more forgiving towards its audience as it features weaker enemies. Despite that, it still doesn’t take away from the Soulslike gameplay.
When Is Black Myth: Wukong Releasing?
Black Myth: Wukong has stirred considerable anticipation among gamers. This has led to many wondering when the game is coming out. Luckily, Game Science has officially revealed when Black Myth: Wukong will hit the shelves.
Black Myth: Wukong is all set to release on August 20, 2024, on PS5 and PC. Unfortunately, Xbox owners will have to wait longer. This is due to the title not meeting Game Science’s quality standards. Therefore, it needs some more time to cook in the oven.
Currently, there’s no release date for Xbox consoles. It’s just a waiting game for when Black Myth: Wukong will be ready on those platforms.
