Black Myth Wukong doesn’t compromise on difficulty, there is a risk of divisiveness, but the studio wants nothing to do with that. It is what it is and that is it.
No, Black Myth Wukong won’t be a Souls-like game, strictly speaking. Studio Game Science has confirmed that its game will be somewhat unique, despite tackling different genres. While it won’t be fundamentally similar to FromSoftware’s games, Black Myth Wukong will still share some similarities with Souls, including a certain penchant for challenge. And that risks making as many people happy as it does disappointed.
Will Black Myth Wukong reignite the eternal debate about difficulty?
No compromises, that is the credo of the Game Science Studio we spoke to VGC What we learn about his next game in particular is that it will be much more aggressive than most of his soul-like cousins. This is not about postponing confrontations, but rather about the liveliness and agility of our hero. “We want the player to feel like a hero”that is the will of the studio. In this way, Black Myth Wukong will be a very action-oriented and spectacular game. However, the difficulty will actually be there and will evolve as the adventure progresses. However, you will not be able to change it yourself. It has been confirmed that Black Myth Wukong will not have the option to change the difficulty level. “You can’t change the difficulty level, but it will change as the game progresses.”
So you should find it difficult, or not if you’re good, but whatever happens, you have to face the game as it is offered at release, with its rules and its level of difficulty. This is something that some players appreciate a lot, while others are totally against it. We remember, for example, the explosion of “controversy” on this subject at the release of Sekiro, which was considered too difficult, or even Returnal, which was singled out for the same reasons. We will not return to this eternal debate, but what is certain is that we have to take Black Myth Wukong as it is, and that’s all.
The game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series and PC from August 20th.
