Black Myth: Wukong – umfangreicher Patch erschienen

Game Science hatte Überraschungen für Black Myth: Wukong angekündigt und diese jetzt auch in Form eines umfangreichen Patches erstmals abgeliefert. Die englischen Patchnotes lesen sich folgendermaßen:

New Gameplay: Challenge

“It’s tough to confront the old rivals anew, but the Great Sage will always prevail!”

• After completing the game at least once, the Destined One can find “Challenge” at any Keeper’s Shrine.
• There are two types of challenge available: “Return of Rivals” and “Gauntlet of Legends”.
• “Return of Rivals”
  • The Destined One can challenge a former opponent to a duel, choosing from three levels of difficulty.
  • If any opponents remain undefeated in the main game, the corresponding rebattle will be unavailable.
• “Gauntlet of Legends”
  • The Destined One can battle against multiple opponents in succession, using customized curses to tailor the difficulty.
  • This mode can be difficult, as some old opponents may surprise with new moves. Proceed with caution!
  • If any opponents remain undefeated in the main game, the related gauntlet will be unavailable.
  • Completing any gauntlet rewards players with new rare treasures.
    • Medicine: “Glimmering Scale Pellets” and its formula;
    • Drink and Soaks: “Sour Wine”, “Frost-Enduring Chrysanth”, and “Robust Antler”;
    • Curios: “Stone Tiger Tally”, “Ever-Burning Palace Lantern”, and “Fragment of the Ocean-Settling Pillar”;
    • Equipment: “Three Hill Crown”;
    • Weapons: “Qing Mallet”, “Fanged Cyan Staff”, and “Leeching Centipede Staff”.

New Game Feature: Journeyer’s Chart

“Let the chart chart the journeyer’s journey.”

• A remarkable one has captured these landscapes, organizing them into charts for guidance and marking.
• A Journeyer’s Chart can be unlocked when the Destined One first enters Black Wind Mountain and meets the Keeper.
• Afterwards, for each new territory reached, a “Journeyer’s Chart” can be purchased at the Keeper’s Shrine.

New Equipment: Armor Set of Opulence

As the year comes to a close, we wish all Destined Ones an early Happy Chinese New Year! May you have joy and prosperity all year round.

• Four special armor pieces have been crafted to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year.
• After installation, all Destined Ones can claim these directly through “Trailblazer’s Gift” at any Keeper’s Shrine.

New Music Library Functions

• “Black Myth: Wukong Soundtrack Selection” has been added as a new soundtrack application (some tracks are not available for export due to copyright restrictions).

Please note: Due to configuration issues on EPIC, purchasers of “Black Myth: Wukong Deluxe Edition Upgrade” may experience delays in receiving the soundtrack selection. Your patience is much appreciated.
