I'm personally waiting for the Monkey mod. Will try it when I can recreate all the episodes of monkey in game.

Black Myth: Wukong delivers everything we expected from the game based on its pre-release media - and more, thanks to some stunning state-of-the-art visuals. Alex Battaglia takes you through what sets this game apart, focuses on the high-end RT experience - and then goes on to critique image quality issues, such as over-sharpening and the perhaps inevitable stuttering problems. Optimised settings and PlayStation 5 videos to follow this week.

After our look at the Black Myth: Wukong high-end PC experience, we're going back to basics with a look at optimised settings with a smattering of PS5-equivalent comparisons. Is the Full RT option actually scalable to lower-end hardware? What are the best settings to use on a more mainstream CPU and GPU combo? And what's the score with shader compilation issues and traversal stutter? Alex Battaglia and Oliver Mackenzie share notes.

No ghosts walked the earth till born of human heart;
Onstage and off, immortals fall to fiends—their perfected art.
Indoors and out, the judge is bound by the same household ties;
The sun is veiled, the moon unmoved—who decrees who lives and who dies?
I turn from worldly tangles and their codes, from glories smeared with sleight.
I raise my sword—I raise it to fight;
With it, I shall judge wrong and right!

Developed by Game Science, "Black Myth: Zhong Kui"—the second entry in the Black Myth series—was officially unveiled today with its first CG teaser trailer, and simultaneously debuted during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025.
This single-player action role-playing game draws its primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure "Zhong Kui". As the project is still in early development, no in-game footage is available at this time.
