Single-player action-adventure game Black Myth: Wukong launched back in 2024. The game was inspired by the classic Chinese novel ‘Journey To The West’ and sees players take on the role of The Destined One as he tries to restore Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, to his former glory by collecting six ancient relics.
The action-role-playing game sold more than 14million units in its first week of release and a sequel Black Myth: Zhong Kui was confirmed in August. Now publishers Game Science have confirmed details of a global concert tour.
