We also see the player-character (who may or may not be the real Wukong of Chinese tales) use a set of new spells to fight them: transform into a skull-filled walking boulder to deflect ranged attacks, freeze a charging enemy in place, and knock them back (somewhat reminiscent of Breath of the Wild’s Stasis ability) , ward off multiple enemies and transform into three lightning-wielding creatures for an aerial attack.
A caption specifies that “This video is specially produced to celebrate the Year of the Ox, it does not represent a real intrigue”. However, it seems unlikely that any of the above were designed just for the trailer, meaning they will likely be implemented into the final game in different ways.
This is the first new gameplay of Black Myth since the 13-minute announcement video, which enjoyed incredible popularity on the internet Last year. In September, Game Science told IGN that it planned to be silent “for a long time” to work on the game – this version appears to be just to celebrate Chinese New Year with fans, rather than signaling that we’ll learn a lot more about the game.
