black myth: wukong

This summer has felt like a bit of a lull in the year’s gaming release schedule so there are a lot of eyes on theBlack: Myth Wukong release time. The Chinese mythology action RPG with Souls-ish qualities has enjoyed a good streak at the top of the list of most wishlisted games on Steam as everyone waits to see if it’s the next big thing.The reviews so far have been quite positive, including our ownBlack Myth: Wukong reviewin which Tyler Colp says it “blossoms with an eccentric cast of characters and expressive combat all wrapped up in the rich world of its source material.” It’s not exactly a Soulslike game, with a combat system that focuses on stances instead of new weapons and a more compact level design that sends you into boss fights with less exploration between them. “Wukong is its own beast,” Colp also said.If that all sounds like just what you need to cap a quiet summer of gaming, here’s when you can actually get started with Wukong.When is the Black Myth: Wukong release time?(Image credit: Game Science)Black Myth: Wukong launches at 7pm Pacific on Monday,August 19.
