Black Myth: Wukong Leaked Before LaunchProducer Advises Players to Curb Further Spread of Leaked Material
With less than a week until Black Myth: Wukong's release, leaked material has begun circulating online. The trending hashtag "Black Myth Wukong Leak" reportedly gained momentum on the Chinese social media platform, Weibo, on Wednesday after videos showcasing unreleased game content were posted online.
Following the leak, producer Feng Ji used Weibo to address fans and the spoilers. In his post (translated via machine translation), Feng explained that spoilers can diminish the exciting sense of discovery and role-playing the game offers. Black Myth Wukong's appeal relies on players' "curiosity," the producer added.
Feng also appealed to players to avoid spoiling the surprise for others, stating that fans should proactively avoid viewing and sharing the leaked content. "If a friend around you explicitly states that they don't want to be spoiled about the game, please help protect them." He added, "I am still confident that regardless of how much leaked content you have seen beforehand, [Black Myth: Wukong] will still deliver on the unique experiences it has in store."
The game is now available for pre-order and is slated to launch on August 20, 2024, at 10 AM UTC+8 on PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store, and WeGame.
