Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science has confirmed the global release times for the hotly anticipated action game, revealing when it goes live across the world.
The release date is set for 10am UTC+8 on August 20, which means Black Myth: Wukong actually goes live at 7pm Pacific on August 19 and 3am UK on August 20.
Black Myth: Wukong is inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West and is set for release on PlayStation 5 and PC this week, with an Xbox Series X and S version slated for a later date (find out why here).
IGN’s Black Myth: Wukong review returned an 8/10. We said: “Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world.”

Today, IGN verified an email sent from the Black Myth: Wukong marketing team that told content creators granted a Steam key that they must not include “feminist propaganda” or use what are called “trigger words” such as COVID-19 in their coverage.
Game Science has yet to respond to IGN’s previous report compiling numerous sexist comments made by the studio’s founders and other developers spanning the last decade.
