Black Myth Wukong: “The difficulty will not remain the same”

Summer has begun. With it, several players preferred the coolness of their air conditioning while enjoying the latest game released with Shadow of the EarthTree. The Elden Ring DLC ​​was rebooted after its release then a persistent debate in the video game sector

: that of difficulty. Everyone will defend their side, but there is no doubt that these discussions will resume in less than two months with the release of another game: that of Black Myth: Wukong, expected on August 20. This is what emerges from an interview with the media Video game chronicle that a spokesperson for the Game Science studio explained that there would be only one possible difficulty:

You can’t change the difficulty level, but the difficulty level doesn’t stay the same for the duration of the game. As we said, the philosophy is for players to fight like heroes. When developing the game, we had to make some difficult decisions.

Probably with the intention of reassuring players, he explains that he gives them numerous attempts after each fight. Enough to indicate that defeat is no (or only minor) punishment in this title that emphasizes boss confrontations.

Further away from the souls than we think?

In fact, during our preview we learned that death is not synonymous with loss of experience, as can be the case in FromSoftware productions. Black Myth: Wukong fits more into an action RPG register. A type of game that is increasingly talked about, as we saw earlier this year with the successful release of Stellar Blade. Yes, a unique difficulty level, but not a Dark Souls style, where the penalty system made the titles famous.

In conclusion, we can consider Black Myth: Wukong to be challenging while limiting the possible frustration of players. From our review of the game and that of our colleagues, the Game Science title seems to be affordable in its difficulty level thanks to the mandatory bosses of the campaign. And if some are looking for challenges, it is the side of the optional bosses that you have to look at to really test your skills as the Monkey King. Enough to encourage exploration.

However, you still have to wait for the game’s release on August 20th on PC and PlayStation 5 to get a personal impression of the title’s difficulty level.
