For gamers who have been eagerly anticipating a price drop on the critically acclaimed action-RPG Black Myth Wukong, the wait is finally over. The PlayStation Black Friday sales event has brought the game to its most affordable point since launch, making now the perfect opportunity to dive into its mythic world.
Currently available at Amazon, the title has received a 22% discount, slashing the price down to just $50.55. This is a significant reduction from its original manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $64.99. While it may not be the deepest discount ever seen, it represents the best value proposition for a game that has maintained a relatively high price tag since its debut.
Inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, the game puts players in the role of the legendary Heroic Monkey, Sun Wukong. The experience is a combat-heavy reimagining of the epic tale, filled with formidable bosses and mythical beasts. The combat system itself is widely praised as the game’s strongest feature, offering a deep and satisfying gameplay loop.
The timing of this sale is particularly advantageous for those who have been waiting on the sidelines. Last month, the developer, Game Science, released a substantial patch that significantly enhanced the game’s performance. This update introduced faster loading speeds, improved texture clarity, and optimizations for both CPU and rendering performance. These improvements address some of the technical issues noted at launch, polishing an already impressive title.
In its review, IGN highlighted the game’s strengths, stating that “despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world.” The recent patch has largely mitigated those earlier concerns.
Looking to the future, the studio has already announced a sequel titled Black Myth: Zhong Kui, which was revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live. Additionally, rumors persist about potential downloadable content for the original Wukong adventure. The game also became available on Xbox platforms earlier this year, broadening its audience.
This Black Friday discount offers a compelling reason to finally experience one of the year’s most talked-about action-RPGs at its most accessible price point.
