Every August for the past 2 years, Chinese developer Game Science Studio has released caller gameplay footage from its upcoming enactment RPG Black Myth: Wukong. Not 1 to miss a beat, it has done the aforesaid this year. On Friday, the workplace shared a caller eight-minute gameplay trailer and six-minute in-game cutscene. Much similar past year’s Unreal Engine 5 reveal, the erstwhile is partially a showcase for NVIDIA’s DLSS AI-powered upscaling tech, and you tin spot what a quality it – and a twelvemonth of further enactment – has meant for the game’s framerate. Compared to past year’s trailer, the enactment is smoother and determination are less framerate drops.

We besides spot Game Science Studio iterate connected From Software’s Souls look successful a fewer absorbing ways. One of my favorites involves a works the protagonist goes to prime up astir a 3rd of the mode done the clip. When they spell to propulsion it from the ground, the works turns retired to beryllium an force that tin basal the subordinate successful place, leaving them susceptible to its hard-hitting expanse attacks. It’s a amusive twist connected From Software’s mimic chests that should unit you ever to beryllium connected your toes. As for the cinematic trailer, it offers a caller look astatine Wukong’s Journey to the West-inspired tale. It’s hard to accidental however the country we spot volition acceptable into the broader communicative Game Science hopes to tell, but the workplace evidently has a endowment for animation.

Unfortunately, neither trailer ends with a merchandise day for the game. Back successful 2020, Game Science Studio said it was hoping to bring Black Myth: Wukong to PC and consoles by 2023.
