This game, which began its development in 2018 by the Chinese studio Game Science, impressed all players from the first trailer that revealed gameplay. Black Myth: Wukong, a new standout in the Soulslike genre that aims to be one of the best games of the year, is finally about to release after more than six years in development.
According to new rumors circulating on various social media platforms like X, this title could be the first in a trilogy that the studio is already working on. The game’s creator has already registered several trademarks with new names for these titles.
Game Science and a Possible Black Myth: Wukong Trilogy?
Based on Chinese folklore and legends, Black Myth: Wukong will offer unique gameplay showcasing all the mythological beasts within this culture.
Inspired by the well-known fable Journey to the West, this game promises to bring players into a world full of power, where the protagonist can change forms as he progresses through the game. Additionally, he will be able to use various abilities that he gains each time he defeats an enemy.
According to an insider on X, the studio is considering the possibility of turning this first game into the beginning of a trilogy, depending on the success of this launch.

This source says that the studio, Game Science, has registered two new names that start with Black Myth. Given all the hype surrounding this highly anticipated title, it’s very likely that the studio will decide to move forward with these two releases.
Will This Game Live up to Expectations?
In just one week, fans will finally be able to experience Black Myth: Wukong firsthand. The Monkey King embarks on a mythical journey where he encounters all sorts of enemies to defeat, absorbing their abilities as he goes.
This warrior will then be able to transform and completely change his combat style to adapt to the enemy in any way he chooses. Game Science recently released the final trailer for the game, which is now ready to launch.
One of the most impressive aspects of this game, beyond its incredible and spectacular action-packed combat, is the extraordinary enemy design, which varies with each new encounter.
Creature design is one of the strongest points of this experience, and all players are excited to face these new bosses, which will present a great challenge with each new battle. The player will not only have melee weapons but also special abilities related to the elements.
Black Myth: Wukong promises to be one of the great Soulslikes of the year, and it will be available for PS5 and PC starting August 20th. One of the particularities of this game is that it won’t have a physical version due to distribution issues faced by the studio.
Players have high expectations to see if the title lives up to the current standards of this genre. What are your thoughts on this possible trilogy? Let us know in the comments!
