One thing we know about gamers is they love an action game set in mythology. Games such as God of War continually succeed simply because fans love the way devs create the story. With this love for mythology, Game Science Studios first announce Black Myth: Wukong back in 2020. Ever since then, they kept slipping details now and again, but the inclusion in this year’s Gamescom is a big step forward.
