Sun Wukong Character Overview
“Black Myth: Wukong” is an action RPG developed by Game Science, based on the legendary Chinese character Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. This page provides a detailed overview of Sun Wukong’s role, abilities, background, and more in the game.
Sun Wukong’s Background and Motivation
Sun Wukong is the legendary Monkey King, a central figure in the 16th-century Chinese novel “Journey to the West.” In “Black Myth: Wukong,” the story continues after Sun Wukong attains Buddhahood but chooses to live in peace on his mountain instead of residing in the Celestial Court. This act of defiance angers the Celestial Court, leading them to send an army led by Erlang Shen to capture him. Sun Wukong’s power is divided into six Relics, each representing one of his senses, scattered across China after he is sealed in stone. The game’s protagonist, known as the Destined One, embarks on a quest to retrieve these Relics to revive or succeed Sun Wukong.
