Black Myth: Wukong has been one of the most anticipated games for some time now. The publishers are yet to provide fans with an estimate on when the title will officially launch.

However, Game Science dropped a gameplay trailer a couple of hours ago to keep the hype going, and the game looks absolutely incredible in the new Unreal Engine 5.

Black Myth: Wukong’s debut trailer came out last year, and the title has been talked about ever since.

Fans are interested in how the developers will integrate Chinese mythology into a sort of a “Souls-Borne” thematic formula, along with a Sekiro-like gameplay mechanic.

The second official trailer for the game was released in February of this year.

The third one finally got uploaded today on IGN’s official YouTube channel. In the trailer, Game Science gives us a glimpse of their title in Unreal Engine 5.

The developers are calling this the 'Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay Test', and the 12-minute footage of Black Myth: Wukong is nothing less than jaw-dropping.
