Black Myth: Wukong Faces Pre-Release Leak; Producer Urges Caution
With the highly anticipated release of Black Myth: Wukong fast approaching on August 20th, producer Feng Ji has issued a plea to players to avoid spoilers following a significant content leak.
The leak, which surfaced online recently, features unreleased gameplay footage and has reportedly spread rapidly across Chinese social media, particularly Weibo. The hashtag "#BlackMythWukongLeak" quickly gained traction.
In response, Feng Ji addressed fans directly via Weibo, emphasizing the importance of preserving the game's intended experience. He explained that the game's unique charm hinges on players' sense of discovery and the element of surprise. Spoilers, he argued, diminish this crucial aspect of the action RPG.
Feng Ji appealed to players' sense of community, urging them to refrain from viewing or sharing leaked materials. He specifically requested that fans actively protect others who wish to remain unspoiled, stating, "If a friend around you clearly says that he doesn't want to be spoiled about the game, please help protect them." He expressed confidence that the game's unique qualities will still shine through, even for those who have seen leaked content.
Black Myth: Wukong is currently available for pre-order and is scheduled for launch on August 20th, 2024, at 10 AM UTC+8 across multiple platforms: PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store, and WeGame.
