Black Myth: Wukongis one of the most highly anticipated RPG titles developed by Game Science, based on the famous novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng-en. In this game, players will embark on a fantastic journey and come across plenty of challenges along the way.
Despite being an action RPG title,Black Myth: Wukong is yet another exciting addition to Soulslike games, which to some degree follow the classic FromSoftware formula. However, the game has managed to bring one feature, which Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team need to steal in a completely different way.
Black Myth: Wukong’s Unique Boss Fight Mechanism
The Soulslike genre has gone through tons of iterations and evolutions over the past decade, with many AAA games and indie teams putting their own spin on it. However, we’ve never seen anything likeBlack Myth: Wukongbefore,which plans to completely revolutionize the genre from the ground up.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, Game Science has brought various never-seen-before game mechanics and features for their upcoming game. One of these features is related to the game’s boss fights. Unlike other Soulslike games out there, certain bosses inBlack Myth: Wukongwill only enter into their second phase if you defeat them within a certain period.

While it’s quite an interesting mechanic, players are skeptical about its implementation and feel it should be completely the other way around. The time-limit restriction could lead to a lot of gamers completely missing out on a bunch of second phases, which could be crucial to progress in the game.
Feels like that should be the other way round
Such a unique mechanism brings the challenge that Soulslike fans have always dreamt of. The concept has incredible potential and can certainly raise the stakes for everyone.
Despite its appeal, it can be incredibly devastating for players who don’t manage to defeat the boss in their first run and have to keep repeating until they take it down.Whatever FromSoftware’s next title ends up being, Hidetaka Miyazaki could definitely learn from such a feature and bring it in a way that’s not punishing for players.
When is Black Myth: Wukong Coming Out?
Ever since it was first released way back in 2020,Black Myth: Wukonghas turned heads with its aggressive combat and grandiose mythological vibes. Gamers have been itching to get their hands on the title, and we finally have a release date to wait for!

Game Science has confirmed that the game will be released on June 01, 2025, and will be available on Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store.
The official release date was confirmed during The Game Awards 2023, whereBlack Myth: Wukong‘s release date was shown with an English dub for the very first time. We have also witnessed several monsters that the Destined One takes on, but compared to the snippets that we previously saw, we didn’t get any new gameplay.
While it’s not a AAA experience, the buzz surrounding this Soulslike title over the years makes it one of the most hyped PC games of 2024.
