'Black Myth: Wukong' Unveiled in Anticipated Leak

Black Myth: Wukong Faces Pre-Release Leak; Producer Urges Caution

With the highly anticipated release of Black Myth: Wukong just days away (August 20th), a significant leak of gameplay footage has surfaced online, prompting a plea from producer Feng Ji for players to avoid spoilers.

The leak, widely circulated on Weibo under the trending hashtag "Black Myth Wukong Leak," features unreleased game content. Responding to the situation, Feng Ji issued a statement on Weibo expressing concern that the leaked material undermines the game's core appeal: the element of surprise and discovery integral to the action RPG experience. He emphasized the importance of preserving players' "curiosity" for a fully immersive playthrough.

Feng Ji directly appealed to fans to refrain from viewing or sharing leaked content, urging them to protect the experience for others who wish to remain unspoiled. He specifically requested that players respect the wishes of friends who want to avoid spoilers, stating, "If a friend around you clearly says that he doesn't want to be spoiled about the game, please help protect them." Despite the leak, Feng Ji expressed confidence that the game will still deliver a unique and unforgettable experience, regardless of prior exposure to leaked content.

Black Myth: Wukong is available for pre-order and launches August 20th, 2024, at 10 AM UTC+8 on PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store, and WeGame.
