In addition to Black Myth: Wukong, there are numerous other Journey to the West-themed games that every gamer should experience.
Journey to the West has long been a cinematic classic, deeply ingrained in the childhood memories of many gamers today. The pilgrimage to the West by Master Tang and his disciples has always been a topic of immense interest, serving as boundless inspiration for various game studios. The following list is a testament to that inspiration.
Unruly Heroes
Debuting in 2019, Unruly Heroes boasts a charming, cartoonish art style with adorable character designs. While featuring characters resembling the four disciples of Tang in Journey to the West, the game's narrative has been tweaked. Instead of journeying to the West to retrieve scriptures, the adventure of the four disciples revolves around recovering the heavenly book—a powerful artifact scattered across various locations, capable of suppressing demonic treasures that threaten humanity.
Notably, in Unruly Heroes, gamers can choose to solo the entire content or engage in co-op mode with a four-player setup, embodying the four disciples to overcome challenging levels.
Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West
Retaining the essence of the original cinematic masterpiece, Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West is one of the highly anticipated games. Currently in Early Access, this blockbuster has made it to the final round of the 2021 Tencent GWB Game Awards.
Featuring an all-star cast from Journey to the West, the strategic card game Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West is on the brink of an official release. According to Z Studio, the game's developer, it only needs two more characters and one additional chapter to be complete.
Black Myth: Wukong
Arguably the most anticipated title among gamers, Black Myth: Wukong promises a visually stunning experience with top-notch effects. Above all, the gameplay and storyline have received positive reviews from the gaming community. Black Myth: Wukong is poised to bring a fresh journey to Journey to the West, now that the pilgrimage has been completed.
As of the current moment, Black Myth: Wukong has undergone 4 years of development without an official release date. This only intensifies the anticipation among fans, expecting meticulous investment from the publisher. According to some sources, Black Myth: Wukong will feature an open-world style and serve as the initial installment in a series of 3 distinct Journey to the West games from this studio.
