Always get bored and feel annoyed with chinese putting so much hype into wukong by making different version of wukong movies every chinese new year, but this game in terms of gameplay is awesome honestly.
If you understand Chinese you will never get over how well written the prose and dialogue is in this game. This is literally the kind of prose that’s written for massive Chinese productions
@@ariesdane5876 why would it be japanese? not only is it made by chinese developers but it's heavily based on one of the most well known Chinese stories
For those who said this is copying Goku: Goku character is based on the monkey King in the book "Journey To The West" which is written 400 years ago in China.
Actually, goku is not just inspired by The Monkey King, but Superman also. Which the story telling that he sent from his origin planet by his parent before destroyed, an as an alien has a superhuman godlike power.
As a Chinese, I want to give you more information about this game. There are only 30 people in this team right now. They have enough funding and they have strong faith to complete the game. However, they still need more talent people to join the team to face those heavy workloads. So, recruiting is the main purpose of releasing this trailer. Be patient, still need more time to wait.

My dad used to tell me bedtime stories when I was a kid. One of his favorites to tell, which soon became my favorite to hear, was Wu Kong - The Monkey King. My dad just died in July. So RUclips couldn't have recommended this at a better time. It honestly hits a lot harder now. Love you Papa
This is Sun Wokong from Chinese myth. It has movies and drama serial TV in about 1999- 2006 . Some people from the west will not know this characters.. but I agree "what is this" bcs they not implant full English subtitles
In our culture,its called “踱步”or“太师步”（duobu or taishibu），the slow walking react everything is under control. confidence and honor make he wait his enemy attack.
Wow, immersive, griping; the way they made the gameplay fascinated me because it is so innovative that you can obtain other characters' abilities after defeating them, COUNTING DAYS TO PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE ---- THIS IS NOT ONLY A GAME...THIS IS PURE ART
for those who aren't familiar with Chinese literature and mythology, The monkey king Sun Wukong is a character in the Chinese novel Journey to the West written in the 16th century, depicting his journey along with his master, and 2 sworn brother's journey to the birthplace of buddhism to ask for the scripture. Goku from dragonball Z is loosely based on him. Even though Wukong is capable of getting to the destination in one single backflip, but his master insisted on traveling all the way to India on foot, through the long journey they went through trials and tribulation, Wukong eventually grew from a "Yao" (Chinese terminology, similar to "wild/ evil spirits or monster", but Yao is not always evil) to eventually attain Buddhahood with his master and sworn brothers who have their own amazing story. One of the brother Bajie was previously a Heavenly General, but got drunk in a Heavenly Palace banquet, and tried to get with the Goddess of the Moon, the Jade Emperor banished him to the mortal realm and was accidentally reincarnated into a pig sty, turning him into a pig man. Wukong is capable of transforming into any object, animal or person or monster. shown in the game it seems like he can turn into any enemy that he defeated. he also have habit of shrinking things and storing them in his ears. other abilities like cloud surfing, golden invencible body, and mirror image grown from his hair is all shown. Such a great looking game, and the gameplay seems very smooth, the monster design is otherworldly, oh and the end score is just pure childhood memory.
To people that are confused about the ending. The character showed up in the end was the actual Monkey King. If you are slightest familiar with "Journey to the West", I bet you are confused how can there be two Monkey Kings? Well here is a possible theory and some backgrounds. The answer lies in the story the studio is trying to tell which may be lost in the translation of the trailer. At the end of "Journey to the West"all the four main characters obtained Buddha status, or some form of godhood. In doing so, they must abandon their corporal carcasses. The story of the game picks up after this. From the dialogue of the NPCs you can see, they recognize the resemblance of the player controlled monkey with the legendary Monkey King, Sun WuKong. They keep saying, "you really look like him!" or "another monkey", which means they either have heard or seen him before. So, it is possible, the main character that is the player through out the game, is the mortal flesh which the King abandoned in obtaining his godhood. Since WuKong the Monkey King was born from the sky and earth through a sentient stone, this mortal carcass he left behind retained a lot of life, also the sins during his mortal life. Hence, the name of the game "Black Myth". After all, what greater enemy is there if not oneself?! PS: last four characters out of eight of the trailer , literally says “revisit the journey to the west”, which implies the original journey to the west was completed.(This paragraph has been pointed out by many Chinese viewers as incorrect. The last remark of 8 Chinese characters is referring to a past regret the leading dev has with his former employer Tencent) PPS: There is a humongous volume of contemporary Chinese literature debating which monkey (The Stone Monkey or the Six Eared Macaque) made it to the west at the end. Currently the theory that Sun WuKong made it to the west is winning simply because of one piece of evidence. In the original novel, Yama the king of death plane stroke the name Sun WuKong off of his ledger after being threatened to be eliminated from existence by Sun WuKong himself. This cannot be undone, which means, Sun Wukong is hardwired incapable of death. Even the Buddha himself cannot restore the ledger of death. But, in the chapter where two "Monkey Kings" fought, one of them did die. This means the Six Eared Macaque was the one killed.
Yooooo, so many theories about this side of story just from some RUclips comments under this video. Can someone tell me where I can possibly find a compilation of these story in English? There also seem to be many that are centered around how he doesn't reach the end of the journey, so there's replacement, or passing it down to another monkey. Seems interesting
@@kintokisa The "replacement"story was along the journey there was a doppelganger who was as powerful as the Monkey King tried and to replace him. Even without the Monkey King's legendary armor and weapon they still matched each other evenly. So they went to Gautama Buddha for judgement, each claimed to be the real and true Monkey King. The official story was the buddha identified the doppelganger and WuKong then killed him. But, there are theories saying it was the other way around. Either way, this story line does not leave much space for recreation.
@@kintokisa I've heard story about Six-ear Macaque killed Sun Wukong and followed Tang Seng to the west, hence for the later part of the journey the disguised Wukong (Six-ear Macaque) become obedient to his master which is opposite of what Sun Wukong original is. They didn't realise he's not Wukong because they look exactly the same. In the beginning of the video, the old monkey also said: "Some said it wasn't him that granted the buddhahood, the real him was already dead on the journey to the west." This may be the hint of of Six-ear Macaque killing Wukong and replacing him as "Victorious Fighting Buddha".
The developers actually showed so many hidden references from Journey to the West in this trailer! This might be confusing to the viewers who is not familiar with the story but I believe when a Chinese kid saw this... omg 1. beside the one of 72 transformation (the golden cicada) in 2:26, Sun Wukong's another iconic ability to freeze enemy. There is a golden Chinese character "定“ which means freeze when he used it. 2. 4:06 that he puts the new weapon in his ear which is another ability that Wukong can shrink almost everything and he always stored them in his ear. 3. The short old potato headed man with long wooden crutch in 4:46 is a classical appearance of earth deities in Chinese myth. They will typically pop up with a smoke around the temple in the mountain areas. 4. More interestingly the developers used the earth deity's words to mock Tencent: "The temple caught on a big fire though I heard they rebuilt it, but if one's heart was burnt to ash what's the meaning of recovering that temple?" Many talented developers joined that big company with a dream eventually ended up making garbage. The pure profit driven/capitalized operation of these companies in gaming industry in China burned out the passion of both Chinese players and the developers. If the core of gaming industry was destroyed what's the meaning of how much money u make? 5. 8:55 for sure a lot of people know Naruto as many other J anime you can find tons of inspiration from Journey to the West. Another Sun Wukong's iconic ability which he uses his own hairs to create clones. 6. 10:46 as many ppl already said when those 5 Chinese characters showed up (如意金箍棒), u know who is the real boss. The one u controlled previously in the game is probably the 6 eared macaque who can imitate anything he saw. 7. 11:01 looks like the Thunderclap Monastery and 11:05 is probably the Flaming Mountains which are two of famous chapters in the book. 8. 11:11 Sun Wukong's headache may comes from Tight-Fillet Spell. Guanyin Bodhisattva put a crown on his head and taught Tang Sanzang the spell that can shrink it, so he can use it to control Sun Wukong when he is not obeying certain rules. 9. 11:36 Some very famous characters from the book: Immortals of Tiger, Golden Winged Great Peng and those 4 Heavenly Kings with their iconic weapons. 10. 11:53 the most famous chapter of both TV show and the book for many Chinese kids. Havoc in Haven !! 100k vs 1 and he always wins!! 11. 12:30 the music in countless of Chinese ppl's childhood memories from the TV series in 1986
New update from China. In China there is a Chinese post of new gameplay footage circulating around social media. The game is still in progress and they seem to be fine, they believe to finish in around between a year or two
The abilities of the Monkey king and the story of "Journey to the West" are common sense for average Chinese, but I can see how it may sound strange to ppl from a different culture. Just want to list some of the main abilities of the Monkey King from the original story, not sure how much will be shown in the game: 1. Transform into 72 different forms. 2. His weapon is "如意金箍棒“, shown as the gold characters on the weapon in the game play. It was originally the pillar of the ocean, and the Monkey King forcefully took it from the dragon king of the ocean. It can change size as he wish. So normally when he is not fighting, he make it needle-sized and hide it inside his ear. 3. He s also known for the ability to pull, blow his own hair, and turn them into his clones to help with the fight. 4. He can travel very long distance instantly on "筋斗云“ which is a special cloud that pretty much function as his personal jet. :) 5. He also has "火眼金睛“ which is an ability that he obtained when he was trapped in the Alchemy furnace in the god's realm. The ability enables him to recognize other transformed/disguised creatures/demons in their original forms. But what shown in the game was likely the story before he obtained the ability. Also it may not be needed for the game play. 6. "金钢之躯" which translate to iron body. He is immune to common metal weapons and regular fire. 7. His spirit can also go out of his body. In the story, when they are in an dangerous environment, he sometimes leave his body with the group to protect his master, but his spirit will travel far away to get help. Again, not sure if this will be shown in the game since the story seemed to be before the actual Journey to the West, also it may not be something needed for the game play. 8. Also common magic spells and superpower that Western super heroes have, such as enormous power, fly, freeze the enemy, moving things in the air, spit fire, ect. He is pretty much the ultimate superhero in ancient China. I am sure this is not a complete list of his abilities. That is why this game gonna be so exciting! I am so hyped! Hopefully they will pull it through and make the game available next year or the year after!
You can tell how it influenced Goku's creation from Dragon Ball. Flying Nimbus and the magic pole are straight up from Son Wukong, not to mention he's also a monkey!
@@8DarthGhost8 i mean... goku's symbol in kanji （悟）means wisdom pronounce "GO" in japanese and pronounce “WU” in chinese and after that （空）KU means emptiness but is pronounced “Kong ”in chinese
At the end of the boss fight, the five chinese characters lit up one by one on the real monkey king's weapon are “如意金箍棒RuYiJinGuBang”, the name of the weapon. Bluntly translated，“the stick with golden edges that can transform as will”,but in a poewetic choice of words in chinese. It can shrink and grow according to Sun Wukong's will, shorter or longer, thinner or thicker. When Wukong has no need of using it, he would simply hide it in his ear hole. This can explain the confusion of some people who are not familiar with the original story, when he pulled the weapon "out of his brain" in the footage lol. I'm thrilled to see that they present the ear hiding weapon in the game exactly according to the original story, just like what they do to the monkey's classic tricks such as “the 72 forms of changes,” “the monkey hairs doppelgangers”and"the traveling cloud". The original story The Journey To The West, the weapon RuYiJinGuBang (known as the monkey king bar in English)of Sun Wukong has many other names. All these names have no translated version. To my opinion, simple "Monkey King Bar"cannot show the divinity and myth of the weapon. One of the names is “定海神针DingHaiShenZhen” which means “the giant sacred pillar that stabilize the ocean”. Actually the stick is originally not a weapon, but a giant pillar stuck into the ocean to seal the enormous energy of the sea so it would remain calm and peaceful. Before the monkey take on the journey, before he is punished by the Buhda RuLai, when he was still rebellious and wild.The monkey headed to "LongGong" the palace of Long in the ocean to "borrow"(rob actually) a weapon. "LongWang" lord of the ocean offered him all the finest blades hammers and lances. But the monkey waved each of them in his hand and said:"all too light, not heavy enough". Then he fixed his eye one the giant pillar that connect the bottom and the surface of the sea.He held it in both arms and pulled it out said“this one feels just heavy enough for me. I think I'll take it!”. And the pillar itself felt his owner of destiny and shrank to the normal size of a weapon with its new name on it "如意金箍棒(RuYiJinGuBang)", the exact five words shown on the weapon in the end of the trailer when the real monkey king shows up.Since it's an ancient artifact to stabilize the ocean, it enrages LongWang and many other gods that it was taken away by the monkey. By the way, no matter what size the weapon is, whether it's hidden in the ear or it is the size of a normal weapon, its weight remains still to the weight of the giant sacred ocean pillar.
Yea i didnt expect the features where Sun put a weapons in his ear , also what about the crown or something that he used to wear on his forehead that it can become tighter or looser , ive forgot some of the fictional things i read GOH etc
@@chococranel is called 紧箍圈JinGuQuan “a ring that tightens", it's only there for his master SanZang to make him behave, he didn't wear it before the journey to the west, and after they completed the journey, the ring hass been take off.
This is from Journey to the West (Chinese: 西遊記), a Chinese fiction novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. It has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia. Arthur Waley's popular abridged translation, Monkey, is well known in English-speaking countries. Actually, many Chinese grew up with this novel and TV series and animations from it.
I wouldn't be so sure, No Man's Sky and Aliens colonial marines showed us a "trailer gameplay" that later resulted to be just cgi, and both games delivered something different. So i'm not even hyped.
Hyped for this. Really glad they managed to get the rights for that ending theme. Brings back many fond memories watching the show as a child back in the 80s
the developer. They said on Chinese social media that the main purpose for these video they just released is to recruit more competent game developers. They have around 30 at the moment. They had only 13 last year. Normally a game with this quality requires 80-100.
@@thomaslynch5189 When responding to extensive amount of queries on Zhihu (Chinese Quora) the managing developer Ji Feng indicated that the "studio still has a dire shortage of personnels. A game with this much content requires a team of 80-100 people, and they only have less than 30. This number used to be a mere 13 in 2019". Said himself.
People that know Wukong knows how true to character they have done for this game with all the abilities shown. I grew up watching wukong way before dragon ball and he was one of my favorite “hero”. Can’t wait.
Can't believe this first world-wide gameplay reveal released back in the middle of 2020. Gamescom 2023 just happened, and Game science (Studio behind Black Myth) gave us another look at what's to come hopefully next year! This game has potential to be amongst top 3 best souls like game. Great job Game science!
Just in case you guys don’t know, he shrink his weapon and put it in his ear just like in the story, perfect for video game explanation of “where did that even come from?”
For people who confuse about the ending where there is another Wukong: in the novel, Wukong has to face a very, very strong opponent that even him cannot take down, and he has to ask for help from the Gods of the Heaven, and later the Great Buddha. The opponent is Six Ear Macaque, the enemy who is even stronger than Wukong at the time, and looks exactly like him, so similar that his master Tang Seng and brothers cannot differentiate. In the novel, Wukong gets help from many Gods from Heaven to take down this opponent, making the Six Ear Macaque one of the strongest, if not the strongest, enemy that Wukong has ever fought. There is also another myth that during their last fight, the Six Ear Macaque kills Wukong, and replaces him in the team to continue the Journey to the West. That also explains why after the fight, Wukong has changed his personality to be better, more obedient to his master, and also stronger! Fun fact: Goku in the Dragon Ball is based on Son Wu Kong. The full name of Goku is Son Goku. Sorry for my English.
Well I believe this story happens after the actual journey to the west, as the real Wukong stopped the hero here using his own club. And this makes the storyline very interesting: who is the hero? And what did Wukong do during this plot? Game Science will answer at the right time, I think.
this doesnt seem to be anything like tsushima man, youre even referencing the wrong culture as tsushima is japanese and this is clearly a journey to the west kind of thing, so its chinese. the gameplay also looks far more like a from software game rather than tsushima. so like. why have you compared these two things. and better question why did almost 200 people agree
Finally a game based authentically on the Journey to the West Chinese mythology. Dragon Ball was inspired by this legendary Chinese tale. Sun WuKong is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Man, Chinese and Japanese mythology is just so rich and interesting that I am surprised that it is not explored more often by big game development studios... It's a freaking treasure trove of great content...
Wait until African mythology starts coming out, the world has so much to offer in storytelling but it has been dominated by a euro centric view for a while.
There's probably lots of games with an emphasis and accurate representation on Chinese culture and mythology but they either: A. Will never be released outside of China. B. Become delisted or removed from (digital) retailers like that Devotion video game. C. They don't get public appeal. As for Japan, there are tons anime and manga being inspired, referenced or represented by Japanese folklore and mythology. You're probably just not aware of the references, themselves.
Y’all might not relate to this but as someone who grew up in China, seeing the “如意金箍棒” inscription on that staff lighting up is like seeing Vader igniting his light saber in that Rogue One ending scene, it legit gives me goosebumps.
I have no idea what this is. I don't know why it showed up on my recommended. I've never heard of this studio before in my life. But this just became my most anticipated game.
This is just a chinese indie studio adapting the 16th century chinese novel "Journey to the West" into a video game with a little bit of dark souls style of gameplay
@@mgiebus1869 You need to leave the house and realize that there are other video games besides cyberpunk 2077. Besides your hype will kill the game if it actually flops, best to reserve zero expectation for any video game
“I was an assassin in ancient Egypt. I was a Witcher in Novigrad. I was a dragon slayer, a knight - I was almost anyone. Now I just wanna go back to my homeland, and be that mighty monkey.” Quoted from Bilibili comment section.
@@MegaBlair007 It's really difficult to sum it up. He's just a cool guy with magic powers that goes on interesting adventures -- that's really the best summary I can give. One of the oldest fictional stories ever published (and intended to be read as fiction, not really religious myth). The original Dragon Ball (not Z) is the closest thing we got to an adaptation of his story in Western culture. It has a similar feel (quirky but likeable protagonist goes on crazy and action filled adventures) and some of the stuff is lifted directly from Wukong's traits (the extending staff, riding on a cloud, etc)
The music at the end makes me goosebumps and nostalgic ( Journey to the West 1986 opening theme). I am a Vietnamese and I've grown up with this song for years, you can say this song is apart of my childhood.
@@jerrywu5797 it is more popular than you think, the story is famous in alot of asian countries around china. Remember dragon ball from japan? Journey to the west inspired that. It is pretty clear when japan got influenced, other asian countries get influence by journey to the west too.
Tbh a lot of indie games nowadays can look like AAA titles. Recently Mortal Shell released and it looks pretty gorgeous for a AAA game. I'm gonna guess the game will be shorter than your average AAA game, but that does not necessarily mean it'll be bad.
Why is that surprising?? Has nothing to do with it coming from a indie studio!! Its like this most of the best developers in the world come from Europe and Asia ... Chinese and Japan have some of the BEST talents EVER!! Big or small!! ITs about hard work and pride in your work! That is why Japanese studios Are one of the best in the world and Chinese which not get much info on these devs!! As I said its about HARD WORK!! That is why American studios are CRAP! They are lazy workers never take pride in there work and it shows big or small studios!! That is Why XBOX (AMERICAN) is in the state they are in as we speak!! And SONY (JAPANESE) is A WORLD WIDE BRAND!! HARD WORK NEVER DIE ATTITUDE!! In my case I would never buy american over Japanese! Thats a kiss of death!!
The fact that they actually nailed down a relatively small detail from the myths, such as the fact that he takes his staff from behind his ear. Really gets my hopes up Edit: I believe those four giant figures on that red landscape are the Four Heavenly Kings which Wukong defeated in the book!
There’s tons of Greek Mythological blockbuster games, as well as the Rome, Egypt, Norse, and Japanese. Finally, there will be a Chinese Mythological blockbuster game. I’m so excited as Wukong is the most well known Chinese Mythological character, and heard about all of his stories his tv series, cartoons, movies and even anime since I was a kid. Also, I’m glad that the dev takes the other way of telling the stories instead of the traditional Journey to the West story.
Fark this is like shadow of colossus, dynasty warrior, souls, sekiro all rolled into one. If the game delivers what is shown this could be one of the greatest game ever made.
Growing up as a chinese kid, this game is like a dream! Probably many western people won't understand some moments of the gameplay (wukong's headache, the white dragon-horse, tang seng, etc.), but damn I am impressed by how accurate it looks.
@@hattorihaso2579 The ending music is part of the opening title music of the TV show "Journey to the West“, debuted in 1986. This version of TV adaptation is widely considered as the best adaptation to the book that has ever been done (at least it is the case in China). The show has been a audience-favorite since the day it first aired, so yeah, the music is as iconic as you can imagine.

Wow, immersive, griping; the way they made the gameplay fascinated me because it is so innovative that you can obtain other characters' abilities after defeating them, COUNTING DAYS TO PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE ---- THIS IS NOT ONLY A GAME...THIS IS PURE ART
for those who aren't familiar with Chinese literature and mythology, The monkey king Sun Wukong is a character in the Chinese novel Journey to the West written in the 16th century, depicting his journey along with his master, and 2 sworn brother's journey to the birthplace of buddhism to ask for the scripture. Goku from dragonball Z is loosely based on him.
Even though Wukong is capable of getting to the destination in one single backflip, but his master insisted on traveling all the way to India on foot, through the long journey they went through trials and tribulation, Wukong eventually grew from a "Yao" (Chinese terminology, similar to "wild/ evil spirits or monster", but Yao is not always evil) to eventually attain Buddhahood with his master and sworn brothers who have their own amazing story.
One of the brother Bajie was previously a Heavenly General, but got drunk in a Heavenly Palace banquet, and tried to get with the Goddess of the Moon, the Jade Emperor banished him to the mortal realm and was accidentally reincarnated into a pig sty, turning him into a pig man.
Wukong is capable of transforming into any object, animal or person or monster. shown in the game it seems like he can turn into any enemy that he defeated. he also have habit of shrinking things and storing them in his ears. other abilities like cloud surfing, golden invencible body, and mirror image grown from his hair is all shown.
Such a great looking game, and the gameplay seems very smooth, the monster design is otherworldly, oh and the end score is just pure childhood memory.

To people that are confused about the ending.
The character showed up in the end was the actual Monkey King.
If you are slightest familiar with "Journey to the West", I bet you are confused how can there be two Monkey Kings?
Well here is a possible theory and some backgrounds. The answer lies in the story the studio is trying to tell which may be lost in the translation of the trailer.
At the end of "Journey to the West"all the four main characters obtained Buddha status, or some form of godhood. In doing so, they must abandon their corporal carcasses.
The story of the game picks up after this. From the dialogue of the NPCs you can see, they recognize the resemblance of the player controlled monkey with the legendary Monkey King, Sun WuKong. They keep saying, "you really look like him!" or "another monkey", which means they either have heard or seen him before.
So, it is possible, the main character that is the player through out the game, is the mortal flesh which the King abandoned in obtaining his godhood. Since WuKong the Monkey King was born from the sky and earth through a sentient stone, this mortal carcass he left behind retained a lot of life, also the sins during his mortal life. Hence, the name of the game "Black Myth".
After all, what greater enemy is there if not oneself?!
PS: last four characters out of eight of the trailer , literally says “revisit the journey to the west”, which implies the original journey to the west was completed.(This paragraph has been pointed out by many Chinese viewers as incorrect. The last remark of 8 Chinese characters is referring to a past regret the leading dev has with his former employer Tencent)
PPS: There is a humongous volume of contemporary Chinese literature debating which monkey (The Stone Monkey or the Six Eared Macaque) made it to the west at the end. Currently the theory that Sun WuKong made it to the west is winning simply because of one piece of evidence.
In the original novel, Yama the king of death plane stroke the name Sun WuKong off of his ledger after being threatened to be eliminated from existence by Sun WuKong himself. This cannot be undone, which means, Sun Wukong is hardwired incapable of death. Even the Buddha himself cannot restore the ledger of death. But, in the chapter where two "Monkey Kings" fought, one of them did die. This means the Six Eared Macaque was the one killed.
Thanks captain!
Yooooo, so many theories about this side of story just from some RUclips comments under this video. Can someone tell me where I can possibly find a compilation of these story in English?
There also seem to be many that are centered around how he doesn't reach the end of the journey, so there's replacement, or passing it down to another monkey. Seems interesting
i think this is the best explanation just yet. thanks captain
@@kintokisa The "replacement"story was along the journey there was a doppelganger who was as powerful as the Monkey King tried and to replace him. Even without the Monkey King's legendary armor and weapon they still matched each other evenly. So they went to Gautama Buddha for judgement, each claimed to be the real and true Monkey King. The official story was the buddha identified the doppelganger and WuKong then killed him. But, there are theories saying it was the other way around. Either way, this story line does not leave much space for recreation.
@@kintokisa I've heard story about Six-ear Macaque killed Sun Wukong and followed Tang Seng to the west, hence for the later part of the journey the disguised Wukong (Six-ear Macaque) become obedient to his master which is opposite of what Sun Wukong original is. They didn't realise he's not Wukong because they look exactly the same. In the beginning of the video, the old monkey also said: "Some said it wasn't him that granted the buddhahood, the real him was already dead on the journey to the west." This may be the hint of of Six-ear Macaque killing Wukong and replacing him as "Victorious Fighting Buddha".
So much wish to play. This legend never gets old and the game looks like a masterpiece.
Can't wait, growing up watching all the Journey to the West show in China. This is epic!
中国人不管是电视剧还是书籍，西游记都看的10遍以上，每个情节都清清楚楚
The developers actually showed so many hidden references from Journey to the West in this trailer! This might be confusing to the viewers who is not familiar with the story but I believe when a Chinese kid saw this... omg
1. beside the one of 72 transformation (the golden cicada) in 2:26, Sun Wukong's another iconic ability to freeze enemy. There is a golden Chinese character "定“ which means freeze when he used it.
2. 4:06 that he puts the new weapon in his ear which is another ability that Wukong can shrink almost everything and he always stored them in his ear.
3. The short old potato headed man with long wooden crutch in 4:46 is a classical appearance of earth deities in Chinese myth. They will typically pop up with a smoke around the temple in the mountain areas.
4. More interestingly the developers used the earth deity's words to mock Tencent: "The temple caught on a big fire though I heard they rebuilt it, but if one's heart was burnt to ash what's the meaning of recovering that temple?" Many talented developers joined that big company with a dream eventually ended up making garbage. The pure profit driven/capitalized operation of these companies in gaming industry in China burned out the passion of both Chinese players and the developers. If the core of gaming industry was destroyed what's the meaning of how much money u make?
5. 8:55 for sure a lot of people know Naruto as many other J anime you can find tons of inspiration from Journey to the West. Another Sun Wukong's iconic ability which he uses his own hairs to create clones.
6. 10:46 as many ppl already said when those 5 Chinese characters showed up (如意金箍棒), u know who is the real boss. The one u controlled previously in the game is probably the 6 eared macaque who can imitate anything he saw.
7. 11:01 looks like the Thunderclap Monastery and 11:05 is probably the Flaming Mountains which are two of famous chapters in the book.
8. 11:11 Sun Wukong's headache may comes from Tight-Fillet Spell. Guanyin Bodhisattva put a crown on his head and taught Tang Sanzang the spell that can shrink it, so he can use it to control Sun Wukong when he is not obeying certain rules.
9. 11:36 Some very famous characters from the book: Immortals of Tiger, Golden Winged Great Peng and those 4 Heavenly Kings with their iconic weapons.
10. 11:53 the most famous chapter of both TV show and the book for many Chinese kids. Havoc in Haven !! 100k vs 1 and he always wins!!
11. 12:30 the music in countless of Chinese ppl's childhood memories from the TV series in 1986

New update from China. In China there is a Chinese post of new gameplay footage circulating around social media. The game is still in progress and they seem to be fine, they believe to finish in around between a year or two
Can you post the new gameplay footage in RUclips
So cool!
the initial release date is in 2023 :)
2024
The abilities of the Monkey king and the story of "Journey to the West" are common sense for average Chinese, but I can see how it may sound strange to ppl from a different culture. Just want to list some of the main abilities of the Monkey King from the original story, not sure how much will be shown in the game:
1. Transform into 72 different forms.
2. His weapon is "如意金箍棒“, shown as the gold characters on the weapon in the game play. It was originally the pillar of the ocean, and the Monkey King forcefully took it from the dragon king of the ocean. It can change size as he wish. So normally when he is not fighting, he make it needle-sized and hide it inside his ear.
3. He s also known for the ability to pull, blow his own hair, and turn them into his clones to help with the fight.
4. He can travel very long distance instantly on "筋斗云“ which is a special cloud that pretty much function as his personal jet. :)
5. He also has "火眼金睛“ which is an ability that he obtained when he was trapped in the Alchemy furnace in the god's realm. The ability enables him to recognize other transformed/disguised creatures/demons in their original forms. But what shown in the game was likely the story before he obtained the ability. Also it may not be needed for the game play.
6. "金钢之躯" which translate to iron body. He is immune to common metal weapons and regular fire.
7. His spirit can also go out of his body. In the story, when they are in an dangerous environment, he sometimes leave his body with the group to protect his master, but his spirit will travel far away to get help. Again, not sure if this will be shown in the game since the story seemed to be before the actual Journey to the West, also it may not be something needed for the game play.
8. Also common magic spells and superpower that Western super heroes have, such as enormous power, fly, freeze the enemy, moving things in the air, spit fire, ect. He is pretty much the ultimate superhero in ancient China.
I am sure this is not a complete list of his abilities. That is why this game gonna be so exciting! I am so hyped! Hopefully they will pull it through and make the game available next year or the year after!
Yea didn't he take his weapon from Ao Kuang? Think I spelled it right. His hawk and bull form are in game. My main.
You can tell how it influenced Goku's creation from Dragon Ball. Flying Nimbus and the magic pole are straight up from Son Wukong, not to mention he's also a monkey!
@@8DarthGhost8 Naruto too with his shadow clone jutsu.
@@8DarthGhost8 i mean... goku's symbol in kanji （悟）means wisdom pronounce "GO" in japanese and pronounce “WU” in chinese and after that （空）KU means emptiness but is pronounced “Kong ”in chinese
Thank you for sharing the extra info. I am confused. Who is it that shows up and stops him at the 10:51 mark? That looks like the real Wu Kong to me.
At the end of the boss fight, the five chinese characters lit up one by
one on the real monkey king's weapon are “如意金箍棒RuYiJinGuBang”, the name of the weapon. Bluntly translated，“the stick with golden edges that can transform as will”,but in a poewetic choice of words in chinese. It can shrink and grow according to Sun Wukong's will, shorter or longer, thinner or thicker. When Wukong has no need of using it, he would simply hide it in his ear hole. This can explain the confusion of some people who are not familiar with the original story, when he pulled the weapon "out of his brain" in the footage lol. I'm thrilled to see that they present the ear hiding weapon in the game exactly according to the original story, just like what they do to the monkey's classic tricks such as “the 72 forms of changes,” “the monkey hairs doppelgangers”and"the traveling cloud". The original story The Journey To The West, the weapon RuYiJinGuBang (known as the monkey king bar in English)of Sun Wukong has many other names. All these names have no translated version. To my opinion, simple "Monkey King Bar"cannot show the divinity and myth of the weapon. One of the names is “定海神针DingHaiShenZhen” which means “the giant sacred pillar that stabilize the ocean”. Actually the stick is originally not a weapon, but a giant pillar stuck into the ocean to seal the enormous energy of the sea so it would remain calm and peaceful. Before the monkey take on the journey, before he is punished by the Buhda RuLai, when he was still rebellious and wild.The monkey headed to "LongGong" the palace of Long in the ocean to "borrow"(rob actually) a weapon. "LongWang" lord of the ocean offered him all the finest blades hammers and lances. But the monkey waved each of them in his hand and said:"all too light, not heavy enough". Then he fixed his eye one the giant pillar that connect the bottom and the surface of the sea.He held it in both arms and pulled it out said“this one feels just heavy enough for me. I think I'll take it!”. And the pillar itself felt his owner of destiny and shrank to the normal size of a weapon with its new name on it "如意金箍棒(RuYiJinGuBang)", the exact five words shown on the weapon in the end of the trailer when the real monkey king shows up.Since it's an ancient artifact to stabilize the ocean, it enrages LongWang and many other gods that it was taken away by the monkey. By the way, no matter what size the weapon is, whether it's hidden in the ear or it is the size of a normal weapon, its weight remains still to the weight of the giant sacred ocean pillar.
Yea i didnt expect the features where Sun put a weapons in his ear , also what about the crown or something that he used to wear on his forehead that it can become tighter or looser , ive forgot some of the fictional things i read GOH etc
@@chococranel the crown used as punishment tool by his monk teacher
thank you for this explanation!
@@chococranel is called 紧箍圈JinGuQuan “a ring that tightens", it's only there for his master SanZang to make him behave, he didn't wear it before the journey to the west, and after they completed the journey, the ring hass been take off.

This is from Journey to the West (Chinese: 西遊記), a Chinese fiction novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. It has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia. Arthur Waley's popular abridged translation, Monkey, is well known in English-speaking countries.
Actually, many Chinese grew up with this novel and TV series and animations from it.

For people who confuse about the ending where there is another Wukong: in the novel, Wukong has to face a very, very strong opponent that even him cannot take down, and he has to ask for help from the Gods of the Heaven, and later the Great Buddha. The opponent is Six Ear Macaque, the enemy who is even stronger than Wukong at the time, and looks exactly like him, so similar that his master Tang Seng and brothers cannot differentiate. In the novel, Wukong gets help from many Gods from Heaven to take down this opponent, making the Six Ear Macaque one of the strongest, if not the strongest, enemy that Wukong has ever fought.
There is also another myth that during their last fight, the Six Ear Macaque kills Wukong, and replaces him in the team to continue the Journey to the West. That also explains why after the fight, Wukong has changed his personality to be better, more obedient to his master, and also stronger!
Fun fact: Goku in the Dragon Ball is based on Son Wu Kong. The full name of Goku is Son Goku.
Sorry for my English.
Well I believe this story happens after the actual journey to the west, as the real Wukong stopped the hero here using his own club. And this makes the storyline very interesting: who is the hero? And what did Wukong do during this plot? Game Science will answer at the right time, I think.

Man, Chinese and Japanese mythology is just so rich and interesting that I am surprised that it is not explored more often by big game development studios... It's a freaking treasure trove of great content...
For American and European development studios only greek and nordic mythology exists...
Wait until African mythology starts coming out, the world has so much to offer in storytelling but it has been dominated by a euro centric view for a while.
There's probably lots of games with an emphasis and accurate representation on Chinese culture and mythology but they either:
A. Will never be released outside of China.
B. Become delisted or removed from (digital) retailers like that Devotion video game.
C. They don't get public appeal.
As for Japan, there are tons anime and manga being inspired, referenced or represented by Japanese folklore and mythology. You're probably just not aware of the references, themselves.

One of the oldest fictional stories ever published (and intended to be read as fiction, not really religious myth). The original Dragon Ball (not Z) is the closest thing we got to an adaptation of his story in Western culture. It has a similar feel (quirky but likeable protagonist goes on crazy and action filled adventures) and some of the stuff is lifted directly from Wukong's traits (the extending staff, riding on a cloud, etc)

Oreo *Ex-RWBY Hater* Okay yes I forgot about Cyberpunk. You can’t blame me considering it’s been in development since 1066.
Why is that surprising?? Has nothing to do with it coming from a indie studio!! Its like this most of the best developers in the world come from Europe and Asia ... Chinese and Japan have some of the BEST talents EVER!! Big or small!! ITs about hard work and pride in your work! That is why Japanese studios Are one of the best in the world and Chinese which not get much info on these devs!! As I said its about HARD WORK!! That is why American studios are CRAP! They are lazy workers never take pride in there work and it shows big or small studios!! That is Why XBOX (AMERICAN) is in the state they are in as we speak!! And SONY (JAPANESE) is A WORLD WIDE BRAND!! HARD WORK NEVER DIE ATTITUDE!! In my case I would never buy american over Japanese! Thats a kiss of death!!
better than a 500 million budget game like halo infinite
The music... Those freaking music. I haven't head any Chinese game with this quality music in a long long while.
You should play Gujian 3 then.
GuJian3 is an awesome game!
Jade Empire r3minds me of
Is this Japanese or Chinese
Maithresh chinese game mate
It's one of those properly realised games ... can't wait to own this !!!
Already looking forward to the second game !!! :)
Holy sh*t, my GPU started hyperventilating just playing this trailer.
Finally. A game about Wukong himself. Legendary.
@First name last name You mean Journey to the west? Wukong is certainly the main character.
@@xuchen4012 yup definetly
wait at the end of the gameplay was that the future wukong cos that staff was the one he got from the dragon king right?
@@drgru2633 It was.
The fact that they actually nailed down a relatively small detail from the myths, such as the fact that he takes his staff from behind his ear. Really gets my hopes up
Edit: I believe those four giant figures on that red landscape are the Four Heavenly Kings which Wukong defeated in the book!
Actually the staff is in his ear not behind just saying but u right this is the best and most accurate wukong iv seen in any game
Man of culture I see! made me happy to see it too :)
I'm guessing you've read the myths, any other small details you can share that made it in this?
@@Christhewiztv the protagonist it's most likely the 6 eared macaque and not wukong itself... Tho we see him at the end
@@Christhewiztv the armor he's wearing, he has the gourd on him, the way he summons the clones from his hair, the staff growing.
this the game i’ve been waiting on
The fact he pulls and puts his staff in his ear is so canon accurate
There’s tons of Greek Mythological blockbuster games, as well as the Rome, Egypt, Norse, and Japanese.
Finally, there will be a Chinese Mythological blockbuster game. I’m so excited as Wukong is the most well known Chinese Mythological character, and heard about all of his stories his tv series, cartoons, movies and even anime since I was a kid.
Also, I’m glad that the dev takes the other way of telling the stories instead of the traditional Journey to the West story.
Nino Chew i think its indie not blockbuster
It's indie
Bayek
A : The Avengers is a blockbuster movie.
B : it’s action movie.
C : it’s science fiction.
D : it’s fantasy.
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Africa could use some more too, still waiting for games about Sundieta Keita, Shaka Zulu, Mansa Munsa etc.
I'm not sure but is this like forbidden kingdom?I see scenes from that movie in here.
2:33 that unintentional dodge was smooth af
Fark this is like shadow of colossus, dynasty warrior, souls, sekiro all rolled into one. If the game delivers what is shown this could be one of the greatest game ever made.
Looks absolutely insane in this meta!
For every kid who watched Journey to the West in the 80s...you got CHILLS at the end of the video like I did!
You were absolutely right, that soundtrack at the end...I literally felt chills WTF.
I'm not being a dock but there is an 80s version of the modern journey to the west?
Growing up as a chinese kid, this game is like a dream!
Probably many western people won't understand some moments of the gameplay (wukong's headache, the white dragon-horse, tang seng, etc.),
but damn I am impressed by how accurate it looks.
Yan Sterckx As a Korean who grew up reading Xiyouji, I am sooo excited too!
But one thing confuses me. Why are there two Wukongs in the end?
@@SolvayConference probably another version to the story... a reincarnation of wukong
OMG didn’t expect the ending music. Almost brought tears to my eyes in the middle of my lunch!
IKR, the show remains the best even after almost 40 years
Please elaborate
same here, almost cried
@@hattorihaso2579 The ending music is part of the opening title music of the TV show "Journey to the West“, debuted in 1986. This version of TV adaptation is widely considered as the best adaptation to the book that has ever been done (at least it is the case in China). The show has been a audience-favorite since the day it first aired, so yeah, the music is as iconic as you can imagine.
Lol same.
It’s a shame we gotta wait a few years but it’s gonna be worth it
It been 3 year after this trailer release and finally it will be release on year 2024.
This is the best Sun Wukong depiction in a game I've seen up to date
The first thing that came to my mind was Wukong Souls.
[ I didn't bother to read the title until mid video. xD ]
Nice pfp 👀
What other games was he in????
Well,I think the character may not be the Monkey King, since we know little about the story of game
@@yosifammar basically some low quality mobile games or Online games in China, trust me, you won't want to play them.
Me: I’m way to skeptical to get on the hype train for any game.
Watches this video: Choo choo!
Choo choo!!
Chow chow!!
Too*
“All aboard” choo choo
🚂🚂🚂
came here just about to listen the ending song. bring back memories every goddamn summer lol
Plot twist: The old storyteller at the beginning is Sun Wukong XD
Could be true
Not gonna lie, this game looks amazing. I don't know a lot about Chinese Mythology, but I want to play this game
Don't know much either but I'm sure we'll learn some while playing
Bueno, todos conocemos a Goku, que está basado en la leyenda del rey mono, la nube, el bastón, la cola y la transformación...
Think of him as loki but better and more tricky and not bad haha his full name is sun wukong amazing character to learn 👌🔥
Sun Wu Kong and his 72 transformations. He's beyond badass.
If you were Chinese, you would know how excited we are.
7 minutes in: I've seen enough. Take my money.
For real
the same：shut up and take my money
My thought EXACTLY
For me is only 1minute
Take my MONKEY
the voice of old wukong really send chills down my spine
11:46 ok this one took the breath out of me
