Black Myth: Wukong

Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG from the Chinese studio Game Science, built in Unreal Engine 5 and drawn from the classic novel Journey to the West. The player controls the Destined One, a monkey warrior retracing Sun Wukong's legend to gather the six relics into which the Great Sage's body was split after his defeat. Combat is staff-based and stance-driven, backed by spells, transformations, spirits and vessels that are earned by defeating the yaoguai who hold each region. The campaign runs across six chapters, each a self-contained kingdom of monsters ruled by a boss who guards one of the relics.

• Three Staff Stances - Smash, Pillar and Thrust stances change the staff's reach, gap-closing and charged heavy attack, and each is upgraded separately with Sparks.
• Spell Wheel - Immobilize, Cloud Step, Ring of Fire, A Pluck of Many and Rock Solid are cast from a mana pool with per-spell cooldowns, and each spell has its own upgrade branch.
• Transformations - Defeating certain bosses grants a full transformation with its own health bar, moveset and elemental identity, usable once its meter is charged.
• Spirits and Vessels - Spirit summons and vessel abilities are equipped in separate slots, giving a second layer of actives on top of spells and transformations.
• Will and Sparks - Will is the currency spent at shrines and merchants, while Sparks are the skill points invested across the staff, spell, transformation and survival trees.
• Shrine Network - Shrines act as checkpoints, fast travel points, respec stations and rest points that respawn enemies and restore the gourd.
• Chapter Structure - Six chapters each end with a relic-bearing boss, and each one hides an optional area with a secret boss and unique rewards.
