'Black Myth: Wukong' Leaks Surface Before Game Release

Black Myth: Wukong Leaks Surface Before August 20th Release

With the highly anticipated release of Black Myth: Wukong fast approaching on August 20th, producer Feng Ji has urged players to steer clear of spoilers following a significant leak of gameplay footage.

Producer Pleads for Fans to Halt the Spread of Leaked Material

Less than a week before launch, unauthorized gameplay videos have begun circulating online. The hashtag "#BlackMythWukongLeak" reportedly trended on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media platform, after several videos showcasing unreleased content appeared.

In response to the leak, Feng Ji addressed fans directly via Weibo, expressing concern about the impact of spoilers. His message (machine-translated) highlighted how spoilers diminish the immersive experience and sense of discovery central to the game's appeal. He emphasized that the game's magic lies in the player's "curiosity."

Feng Ji appealed to fans to protect the surprise for others, urging them to avoid viewing or sharing leaked content. He specifically requested that players respect the wishes of friends who want to remain unspoiled, stating, "If a friend explicitly says they don't want spoilers, please help protect their experience." He confidently asserted that even with prior exposure to leaked footage, Black Myth: Wukong will still deliver a uniquely rewarding experience.

Pre-orders are now open, and the game launches August 20th, 2024, at 10 AM UTC+8 on PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store, and WeGame.
