Wukong Sun will make its way to Nintendo Switch in a few days

Wukong Sun: Black Legend, a new game available for pre-order on the US eShop, raises concerns due to its striking similarities to the popular title, Black Myth: Wukong. The visual style, the protagonist wielding a staff, and the plot synopsis bear a close resemblance, prompting questions about potential copyright infringement.

The game's description promises an "epic journey to the West," featuring the Monkey King, Wukong, battling monsters in a world inspired by Chinese mythology. This mirrors the core premise of Black Myth: Wukong, a critically acclaimed RPG that unexpectedly surged in popularity, topping Steam charts.

Black Myth: Wukong's success stems from its detailed visuals, engaging gameplay, and challenging yet accessible combat system. The game's stunning visuals and immersive world are frequently cited as highlights, with many gamers believing it deserved a "Game of the Year 2024" nomination at the TGA. Its combat, while demanding skill, avoids overwhelming complexity, making it enjoyable for both seasoned players and newcomers.

The similarities between Wukong Sun: Black Legend and Black Myth: Wukong are significant enough that Game Science, the developer of Black Myth: Wukong, may pursue legal action for copyright infringement, potentially leading to the removal of Wukong Sun: Black Legend from the eShop. The future of Wukong Sun: Black Legend remains uncertain in light of these allegations.
