Black Myth: Wukong will be released on Xbox on August 20, 2025 — exactly one year after its release on PS5 and PC, The Verge reports.
The game from the Chinese studio Game Science is a Souls-like action game inspired by the novel "Journey to the West". The plot centers on Wukong, the Monkey King, who fights numerous enemies with the help of a magic staff, transformations and special abilities. The game is created on Unreal Engine 5 and is distinguished by high detail, atmosphere and dynamic boss battles.
After its release on August 20, 2024, the game received positive reviews from players and critics. On the first day, Black Myth: Wukong reached a peak online presence of over 168,000 users on Steam - the best start among premium games in August 2024. In China, the project also gained popularity due to its local context and theme.
The game will likely appear on Xbox in a version for Series X/S, although there is no official confirmation yet.
