What is Black Myth Wukong's official release date?

While it was previously speculated that Black Myth Wukong would be released in early 2024, a Summer 2024 release date was later confirmed by Game Science for their upcoming game. The highly anticipated souls-like is scheduled to be released on August 20, 2024, for all current-generation console and PC platforms.

Game Science's souls-like is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).

Built on Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5, Black Myth Wukong is taking a similar approach to its story and setting as Round 8 Studio's Lies of P, another souls-like released quite recently. Similar to Lies of P, Game Science's souls-like features a setting inspired by a fable, i.e., Journey to the West, while also introducing its own spin to the story.
