Black Myth: Wukong Physical Copy - No Disc Included

Jun 07, 2024 11:50 PM

Black Myth: Wukong is now available for pre-order, but none of its physical editions will include an actual disc. Instead, buyers will receive a digital activation code. This is due to resource limitations that prevent Game Science from producing and distributing physical discs for the game's launch. Efforts are being made to resolve these issues and potentially release physical discs in the future. Additionally, the Xbox version of the game will launch after the PlayStation and PC versions due to ongoing optimizations. The game has also faced criticism over sexist remarks by company founders, a topic on which Game Science has yet to comment.

Why won't the physical editions of Black Myth: Wukong include a disc?

The physical editions of Black Myth: Wukong won't include a disc due to limitations in resources required for production, import, export, and distribution. The developer, Game Science, is working on resolving these issues and exploring options to offer physical discs in the future.

Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG rooted in the lore of Journey to the West, a classic Chinese novel. Developed by Game Science, it has garnered attention for its impressive graphics and ambitious gameplay, drawing comparisons to games like Dark Souls and Sekiro. The choice to exclude physical discs aligns with a growing trend in the industry towards digital distribution, though it remains a notable decision given fan expectations for collector's editions. As the game approaches its release, fans eagerly await to see if Game Science can deliver on the high expectations set by its early trailers and gameplay reveals.
