A cinematic Unreal Engine 5 action RPG based on Journey to the West — and one of the most GPU-demanding PC games of its generation.
Black Myth: Wukong is Game Science's action RPG inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, casting you as the Destined One retracing the legend of the Monkey King through lush, mythic landscapes. Built on Unreal Engine 5, it makes heavy use of Nanite micro-geometry and Lumen global illumination, and layers on an optional Full Ray Tracing mode that pushes even flagship GPUs hard. Dense foliage, volumetric weather and intricate boss encounters make it one of the most visually demanding titles on PC, so DLSS, FSR and XeSS upscaling — and Frame Generation at higher settings — are effectively essential for a smooth frame rate. A built-in benchmark tool makes it easy to measure and tune performance before diving into the fight.
