Considering the dizzying success ofBlack Myth: Wukong, Game Science could have left the game as it was at launch, but it has instead released multiple post-launch updates.
Black Myth: Wukongupdateshave mainly focused on lingering bugs and boss balance. These updates have no doubt been appreciated by theBlack Myth: Wukongcommunity, but some fans of the game may be looking for something more substantial to draw them back in. Luckily, the latestBlack Myth: Wukongupdate may be exactly what they’re looking for.
Black Myth: Wukongupdate 1.0.12.16581 adds a new Challenge mode that players can access when theyvisit a Keeper’s Shrinein the game. This Challenge mode is split into two categories: Return of Rivals and Gauntlet of Legends. In Return of Rivals, players are able to fight a boss they’ve already defeated with three difficulty levels to choose from. Gauntlet of Legends, meanwhile, has players fighting multiple bosses in a row, with players able to tailor the difficulty through customized curses. The patch notes warn that some of theBlack Myth: Wukongbosses fought in Gauntlet of Legends will have new attacks, so even hardcore fans with multiple playthroughs under their belt may have some trouble.
Those that manage to conquerBlack Myth: Wukong’s bossesin the Gauntlet of Legends will have the chance to unlock treasures including the Glimmering Scale Pellets and their formula, Sour Wine, Frost-Enduring Chrysanth, Robust Antler, Stone Tiger Tally, Ever-Burning Palace Lantern, Fragment of the Ocean-Setlling Pillar, Three Hill Crown, Qing Mallet, Fanged Cyan Staff, and Leeching Centipede Staff. The new Armor Set of Opulence is also available, though players can simply claim it at a Keeper’s Shrine.
That’s not all. The newBlack Myth: Wukongupdate has also added the Journeyer’s Chart, which allows players to capture landscapes into charts “for guidance and marking.” Players unlock this chart after meeting the Keeper atBlack Wind Mountain. Every time they reach a new territory, players will be able to purchase the corresponding Journeyer’s Chart at a Keeper’s Shrine.
Along with this new content, a bunch ofBlack Myth: Wukongbugs have been squashed in the latest update. Fans can expect more updates to be released for the game in the future, and there’s also the expectation thatBlack Myth: Wukongpaid DLCis on the way as well.
