Nintendo Switch Now Has Its Very Own Low Budget Black Myth: Wukong

Expert Verified By

When Ordering Black Myth Wukong From Wish Goes Wrong!

Story Highlight
  • Wukong Sun: Black Legend is a blatant Black Myth: Wukong rip-off.
  • The game is heading to the Nintendo Switch soon and uses a key art that is all too familiar.
  • Nintendo Switch users can pre-order this title for less than $10 right now.

Black Myth: Wukong made waves across the gaming industry for its success as China’s debut AAA project. Not only did the game sell millions of units and break Steam’s concurrent records for a single-player release, but it also won various awards.

It’s not surprising, then, that studios are now trying to recapture Game Science’s success. In fact, one title on the Nintendo Switch seems to be blatantly copying Black Myth: Wukong with key art that is oddly familiar. The game in question is called Wukong Sun: Black Legend.

Why it matters: In the past, a similar clone based on The Last of Us showed up on the Nintendo eStore, leading to quite the laughs for gaming fans around the globe.

Global Game Studio is credited as the developer and publisher of the project, with the title due for launch on December 26. Wukong Sun: Black Legend is also priced at just $7.99 and promises a grand adventure based on the legend of Sun Wukong.

Perhaps the most interesting part here is the fact that Wukong Sun: Black Legend is a 2D action game compared to Game Science’s epic 3D title. Still, the similarities in the key art and name are undeniable.

Many gamers have also been quick to label the game a clone, mocking the lack of subtlety in the marketing. Some have even joked that the Game of The Year is coming to the Nintendo Switch, referencing the fact that Black Myth: Wukong deserved this award.

Wukong Sun: Black Legend Is Clearly A Major Downgrade 

Because Wukong Sun: Black Legend is gaining so much traction, Nintendo might eventually remove the game or force Global Game Studio to significantly change its marketing. Similar actions were previously taken against the clone based on The Last of Us.
