Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science has confirmed the global release times for the hotly anticipated action game, revealing when it goes live across the world. The release date is set for 10am UTC+8 on August 20, which means Black Myth: Wukong actually goes live at 7pm Pacific on August 19 and 3am UK on August 20. Black Myth: Wukong is inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West and is set for release on PlayStation 5 and PC this week, with an Xbox Series X and S version slated for a later date (find out why here). IGN’s Black Myth: Wukong review returned an 8/10. We said: “Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world.” Black Myth: Wukong Global Release Schedule: Los Angeles: 7pm PDT August 19 Mexico City: 8pm CST August 19 New York: 10pm EDT August 19 São Paulo: 11pm BRT August 19 London: 3am BST August 20 Berlin: 4am CEST August 20 Johannesburg: 4am SAST August 20 Moscow: 5am MSK August 20 Dubai: 6am GST August 20 New Delhi: 7.30am IST August 20 Beijing: 10am CST August 20 Singapore: 10am SGT August 20 Seoul: 11am KST August 20 Tokyo: 11am JST August 20 Sydney: 12am AEST August 20 Today, IGN verified an email sent from the Black Myth: Wukong marketing team that told content creators granted a Steam key that they must not include “feminist propaganda” or use what are called “trigger words” such as COVID-19 in their coverage.
