Black Myth: Wukong Sequel

El sucesor de Black Myth: Wukong, 'Zhong Kui', se presenta en la clausura de Gamescom

El mundo de los videojuegos quedó atónito cuando el desarrollador chino Game Science reveló Black Myth: Zhong Kui durante los momentos finales del Opening Night Live de la Gamescom 2025. Este sucesor espiritual sigue a su exitazo Black Myth: Wukong.

Black Myth: Zhong Kui continúa la saga mitológica

Revelación final sorpresa

Cuando el Opening Night Live de la Gamescom llegaba a su conclusión, el presentador Geoff Keighley soltó el bombazo del anuncio de Black Myth: Zhong Kui, marcando la ambiciosa continuación del exitoso fenómeno de Game Science.

Black Myth: Wukong logró un éxito sin precedentes tras su lanzamiento, vendiendo más de 10 millones de copias en sus primeros tres días. El rastreador de la industria VGInsights informa que el action-RPG ha superado ahora las 20 millones de unidades vendidas, con un total de 978 millones de dólares en ingresos.

En lugar de crear una secuela directa del viaje de Wukong, Game Science seleccionó a Zhong Kui —otra figura icónica de la mitología china— como su próximo protagonista para ofrecer una experiencia de juego fresca manteniendo la estética característica de la serie.

Keighley presentó a Zhong Kui como "la deidad cazafantasmas que transita entre el reino mortal y el inframundo". Según los registros históricos del Museo Nacional de Arte Asiático, la leyenda de Zhong Kui se originó en la China del siglo VIII, cuando el Emperador Xuanzong se curó de una enfermedad después de soñar con un guerrero desfigurado que derrotaba a un demonio.

Este protector espectral se identificó como Zhong Kui, afirmando ser el espíritu de un erudito injustamente tratado en vida pero que permanecía leal al imperio. El emperador luego encargó retratos de Zhong Kui que se convirtieron en talismanes populares contra los espíritus malignos, frecuentemente representándolo montando un burro acompañado por demonios conquistados que cargaban sus posesiones.

Estado del desarrollo

Game Science development team working on new project

Aunque la elección del protagonista está finalizada, Game Science aclaró en sus FAQ oficiales que Zhong Kui sigue en las fases más tempranas de desarrollo, describiendo el proyecto en broma como que actualmente consiste en "poco más que una carpeta vacía". El equipo aún no pudo compartir ningún video de juego o detalles narrativos.

Los desarrolladores explicaron que su anuncio del 20 de agosto se alinea con su tradición de grandes actualizaciones en esta fecha. Black Myth: Wukong se reveló por primera vez el 20 de agosto de 2020, se lanzó el 20 de agosto de 2024 y su versión para Xbox Series X|S se publicó junto con la revelación de Zhong Kui el 20 de agosto de 2025.

"Nuestro equipo está electrizado con energía creativa", declaró Game Science. "Nos impulsa crear nuevas historias fascinantes mientras expandimos las posibilidades de juego —creando algo que se sienta familiar pero sorprendente para los veteranos de Wukong".

El action-RPG para un jugador se lanzará en PC y todas las principales plataformas de consolas. Se compartirán más detalles sobre la disponibilidad en plataformas y la fecha de lanzamiento en futuras actualizaciones.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura

As of now, there is no official confirmation that Nintendo Direct will focus on Kirby Air Riders in a future broadcast. Nintendo typically announces upcoming events through its official website and social media channels. While Kirby Air Riders is a beloved classic from the Kirby series released on the GameCube in 2003, there has been no public indication that it will be the focus of a new Nintendo Direct. If a Nintendo Direct is scheduled for tomorrow and features Kirby Air Riders, it would likely involve news about a potential remake, re-release on a modern platform (such as the Nintendo Switch), or a new Kirby title in the series. However, until an official announcement is made by Nintendo, any speculation should be treated with caution. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please check Nintendo’s official website or their Nintendo Channel on YouTube. Lectura
