Chinese game developer Game Science Studio has released gameplay footage for their newly announced game, Black myth: Wukong.
The pre-alpha footage was uploaded to YouTube and shows the game’s games Souls-like combat as the protagonist wins through a lush forest. The style is inspired by the Chinese story, Journey To The West, and includes the legendary figure The Monkey King, often known as Sun Wukong.
One of the unique show elements is the ability of the Monkey King to transform into various other creatures. The trailer shows various instances, such as turning into a flying insect to shake the environment or becoming a fierce monster to fight an attack of enemies.
The gameplay concludes with a brief montage of the game with the Monkey King tackling an assortment of beasts, and demonstrating some stunning imagery the game uses with Unreal Engine 4.
