A true beast from the east.

Story Highlights

  • Game Science’s Black Myth: Wukong redefines what it means to be an indie title.
  • The studio has achieved high production values despite limited financial resources.
  • Its success will likely inspire other indie developers to pursue ambitious projects.

Breaking Boundaries With Visual Excellence
From its announcement trailer, Black Myth: Wukong has captivated audiences with its stunning visuals. The game’s graphics rival those of high-budget AAA titles, showcasing a level of detail and artistic direction that is rarely seen in indie games. I mean, seriously, if you told me that this was a AAA game I would’ve believed you instantly.

Utilizing Unreal Engine 5, Game Science has pushed the boundaries of what is technically possible for a smaller studio. This sets a new standard for visual quality in indie games, proving that with the right tools and talent, indie devs can create visually breathtaking experiences. It’s especially massive for a studio that has so far only made mobile games.
