It’s not every day you see a developer announce their game’s release window by showing a stop-motion bunny building a new PC to play it, but that’s exactly what the team behind upcoming soulslikeBlack Myth: Wukonghave done. A new short film themed around Chinese New Year that’s been shared by devs Game Science Studio sees a young lagomorphic enthusiast scuppered by their out of date computer, and also shows a wee bit ofBlack Myth: Wukongin action too. You can watch the l’il rabbit growing increasingly frustrated below.
Y’see, there was a red flag at the very start when the long-eared lad tried to install Black Myth but he was clearly running Windows XP. I might be being silly and have missed some other obvious hints, but it wasn’t clear he was living in the glorious past until the very end. Anyway, it’s a fun way to reveal the release date of what looks like an interesting take on thesoulslikegenre. We do get a glimpse of Black Myth in action in the film, when the main character of Monkey is battling a big tiger person.
