In the latest Black Myth: Wukong update, which is being deployed later today, players will be invited to take part in a new ‘boss rush’ challenge mode. This mode is split into two branches, and it’ll see players select former opponents to battle across a range of difficulty levels.
Game Science also revealed a new ‘Journeyer’s Chart’ mechanic, as well as a fresh set of armour, a new soundtrack application, and dozens of bug fixes.
Read on for the full scope of the next Black Myth: Wukong update.
Prepare for a Challenge
Per an update published by Game Science, the new boss rush mode introduces two core challenges:
- Return of Rivals
- Gauntlet of Legends
In Return of Rivals, players are invited to fight past opponents, tweaking the difficulty settings to suit their abilities.
In Gauntlet of Legends, players can undertake a journey, fighting multiple boss characters in succession using a series of customised curses to alter gameplay elements. It was noted that some old bosses will appear with fresh movesets, just to keep players on their toes.
By completing the Gauntlet of Legends, players will unlock rare treasures, including curios, medicine, equipment, and up to three new weapons.
The ‘Journeyer’s Chart’ isn’t immediately obvious, but here’s the description from the blog update:
- A remarkable one has captured these landscapes, organizing them into charts for guidance and marking.
- A Journeyer’s Chart can be unlocked when the Destined One first enters Black Wind Mountain and meets the Keeper.
- Afterwards, for each new territory reached, a “Journeyer’s Chart” can be purchased at the Keeper’s Shrine.
Also, Game Science has introduced a new equipment set – the ‘Set of Opulence’, which has been designed to celebrate the impending Chinese New Year. Elsewhere, players can use the Black Myth: Wukong Soundtrack Selection feature to enjoy the game’s OST more intricately.
These updates have been made in addition to dozens of changes and bug fixes, along with further localisation tweaks, such as Turkish language support.
The update – 1.0.12.16581 – is available today on PC and PS5.
