HO MY GOSH..
this is the product when its Inspired by *God Of War* ;)
From what I understand, the ability to freeze the enemies is the power of the golden cicada, his transformation in ape should be some kind of fusion with his staff and the character at the end is himself, he probably came from the future since the power of the golden cicada is to control time
Hi ~ This is the video link posted by the official account on YouTuBe : ua-cam.com/video/vpVRB7f2JQI/v-deo.html
Just a tiny clarification, bro. 10:52 you’re right about him transforming into other characters and creatures, but in the JTW legend, transforming into a giant monkey is part of his own ability. Like how in dragon ball, goku and the sayans transform into a giant monkey under the full moon - they got that all from monkey king.
@@CheeseSpliffs I wasn't really sure about that monkey transformation until I thought about the 3rd Hokage in Naruto
Well comparing monkey king’s clones to Naruto is like saying “your grandpa looks like you”
hahahaha
lol😂
agree
facts lots of western movies, games, anime, and characters are inspired from the Sun WuKong
This is the great great great grandfather of Dragon Ball. Naruto? I love Naruto but journey to the west was written in Yuan dynasty and the myth happened in Tang Dynasty. That’s like hundreds or even thousands years ago...So sorry Naruto, there’s no place for you.
4:59 Monkey King have the ability of "72 tactics" which was teach by his teacher, one of the god, the ability allows him to transform into basically anything, here as cicada
5:15 Most of the god have this "freeze" ability, difficult to break depends on their power
6:57 Monkey King can change size of object, including his weapon, and he used to store things into his ear
7:57 Every region will have one little god with very limited power, they know everything at their own area and responsible to report things to the highest god, they ware called 西遊:土地公
10:11 Monkey King is a monkey, so its seems logic that he can transform into a gorilla, Goku in Dragon ball was based on here
12:58 Monkey King can pull out his hair and transform them into clones, Naruto's kagebunshin no jutsu was based on here
13:19 Transform into previous enemy, as said before, He is able to transform into anything, except if he never seen that thing before
14:51 One of the famous chapter on the story is, a fake Monkey King, which is powerful enough to against the real one, not sure how they gonna make the script in this game
15:39 Monkey King was tricked to wear a "Incantation of the Golden Hoop" on his head, it gives pain in his head if somebody trigger the hoop
16:52 Those 4 are called 西遊:四大天王, they have their own weapon, one of them is holding an umbrella which is easy to recognize, they are like guardian of the heaven but not the most powerful tho
16:01 My guess for this one is 西遊:李靖, because of the temple behind him, he once trap Monkey King in it
16:57 Riding on cloud is basically all god's ability, but Monkey King got a special high-speed cloud from his teacher
16:57 There is a dragon ethnic in the story, mostly work for god, one of its character transform into a horse and join Monkey King's team
17:13 Battle where Monkey King got famous, where he fly thru heaven and challenge almost all god and army
Hope the game got success, such a huge IP, It's childhood of every Chinese (not only from China, I am from Malaysia)
very well explained for ppl who never heard of monkey king story.
By the way as I think the one they showing is the six ear monkey dunno if yall know but there is this six ear monkey, because in most wukong "remake" movies there's this six ear monkey that's is just like the real sun wukong, I'm sure 100% its the six ear monkey.
Some people think the Monkey King you’re playing as is the fake one and the one that blocked your attack is the real one. The dialogue in the game hints twice that you (the player) is the “second monkey”, so that begs the question, who is the first monkey?
Well, the Monkey King that blocked your attack; his staff says RuYi JinGu Bang which is the Monkey King’s original staff, making him the real one, not to mention he is wearing the Phoenix armor that the original wore too.
Furthermore, evidence that this is the real Monkey King is that the staff he uses to block your attack is gold and red which is something you see on almost every version of his original staff. The staff that you (the player) wield, is red and black, different from most original depictions, but still has the same abilities it seems.
As a Chinese descendant, I have to say that you're so professional.
辛苦辛苦
The shadow clone jutsu we know in NARUTO was actually inspired by the original Wukong,
In the book "Journey to the West", Wukong was a disciple of a great sage who taught him all these abilities,
one of his famous tricks is to pluck a handful of his own fur and imbue magic into it by blowing them out to make his clones to outnumber his foes.
A funny detail about this trick is that depending on the length of the hair, the strength of the clones also differs, longer hairs turn into clones with the same staff he wields, shorter hairs turn into clones bare handed using punch and kicks, and even shorter hairs turn into chibi which jump on the enemy to bite and claw them.
As a Chinese American, this is the stuff of dreams. I wanted something like this ever since I was in middle school, I can’t believe it’s actually happening.
Almost can’t imagine the amount of hype you’re feeling right now.
你的祖国同胞不会让你失望的
Man I watched the journey to the west tv show as a kid this game looks so fuckin good
Bro, Trump will ban this game simply because it’s from China, racist can’t define the difference between CCP and the actual Chinese people
@@justinaccurate347 the tv show was made in 1982 and 1983, china is not so open this time peroid and it is required to broadcast in public channle, so it can be watched by full ages. when i was a kid, i thought the tv show is the real one, but i after read the book, 3 of 4 except the monk are all people eater monster, so the tv show is a part of book without blood
Here‘s some more backgrounds about this game.
This game seems to be based on a classic journal called "the journey to the west". The journal described a story that the monkey king and three other friends escorted the "Monk of Tang" to the world of Buddha, and seek for the "real wisdom". The money king became the "the Buddha of fight and victory" because of his contributions in the journey.
In this video, the old monk mentioned two possible ending for the monkey king: Some people say he became "the Buddha of fight and victory" , while others say someone murdered him and took his place. This may be an important line in the game. This line comes from some old arguments about the novel.
The monkey king has the highest fighting capacity in the team, but he is reckless and don't have any mercy, while the leader of their team--"monk of tang" has wisdom and mercy. So they have some major disagreements. In the first half of the journey, monkey king always disobey the order of "monk of tang", and tried to leave the team.
In the 57th of the journal, another monkey, the Six-ear Macaque wanted to replace the monkey king. The Six-ear Macaque is also very powerful and he transformed to the shape of monkey king Wukong, and on one could tell the difference between the true and the fake monkey king. They fighted each other , but on one can win. At last they came to the buddha (the original and the most powerful one). And the buddha recognized the fake one and killed the six-ear Macaque.
Here comes the problem: The buddha is the only one who can distinguish the fake monkey king, if he killed the true monkey king，either in purpose or by mistake， it would be the fake monkey king who became the "the Buddha of fight and victory". More importantly, he may have the motivation to do that. This journey was originally designed by him. The first aim of journey is to spread the word of him to the Tang dynasty, and the members of this team could gain KPIs and became governors of the buddha-land. (By the way, Buddha is the mentor of the "monk of Tang" ). If the monkey king refuse to follow the order, then he may become a real threat to the buddha-land, especially when he had more power. In this case, it's not bad to replace him with a fake, but submissive monkey,right?
This is kind of a conspiracy theory, which could either be proved right or wrong. But they tried to find some indirect evidence in the book. Eg, The monkey king became more submissive after the chapter, and the characteristics of the real monkey king are not likely to change so fast, so the true monkey king must have been replaced, While others say, in that chapter, the Buddha promised to the money king that after the journey, he could become another buddha, which could explain his change of attitude.
Back to the video, we could see the appearance of the money king with his "As-You-Wish Gold-Banded Cudgel". So I guess the player may be another monkey who worship the Monkey king, a previous follower of him, or the soul of the dead monkey king. The player may gradually reveal the myth of the journey and find the true identity of the "the Buddha of fight and victory". Maybe a dark, cruel and soul-like story is waiting to be revealed·····
朋友用心了，不但讲了故事背景，还讲述了一些六耳猕猴的剧情。真爱！希望游戏出来剧情不崩，华人玩家应该对剧情也会更看中一些。
Apparently anyone who is interested in this game, feels the need to type a novel about it. Cheers tho.
@@grxy5924 i mean, it's a 400+ yr old story. People are just proud that a Wukong game is finally in the works when alot of games and animes are inspired by that classical tale.
if only it was coop and all piggy all the west characters could be used, but i doubt it looks like purely baased on monkey king. im sorry but im looking at kratos on the side videos and mokey king destroys him. im so glad monkey king is only coming out now, and not earlier, it wouldnt do him justice... please some jet li donnny yen wushu games.. please please please.

Chinese mythology is a very complex system. I can explain the basic concept of the chinese mythology.
First the structure of chinese pantheon. Chinese traditional mythology is called Taoism. But after Buddhism come to China, it got absorbed by Chinese pantheon. The supreme god king governing heaven in taoism is jade emperor. But the one who created the universe was the ancient titan pangu. Pangu died from exhaustion soon after he creates the universe. The jade emperor and three pure one control most of the universe after him. They assigned king Yama to govern the underworld. Four great dragon kings to govern the sea. But they all pledge loyalty to jade emperor. Great goddess Nuwa creates humanity after the creation of the world. Buddha is technically the most powerful entity after the death of pangu. Because Buddhism believe he is one with universe. Therefore both Buddhism god and taoism god show respect to each other, and often work together.
Second is the power structure of chinese mythology. The biggest difference between Chinese mythology and western mythology. Is the fact that in Chinese mythology, mortal can become god by practicing taoism or Buddhism. Which many western mythology can’t. This gives people more hope and give them reason to study taoism and Buddhism. However this freedom also give birth to demon(youkai). In chinese the concept of demon is not the same as west. Chinese demon were once mortal creatures who practiced Taoism or Buddhism. They use the power in evil way and became corrupted. This goes for animal too. Both human and animals have possibilities of becoming demon. That’s why in journey of west there are tiger demon or fish demon. Due to the fact all youkai Practice taoism or Buddhism. In chinese mythology demon are considered very intelligent beings. Also most demon aim to become god, because in chinese mythology gods are the final stage of evolution.
Now we can talk about monkey king wukong and journey of the west. Monkey king is the hero in chinese mythology. He’s just like Thor in Norse mythology or Hercules in Greek. Monkey king was loved by chinese people. But monkey king wasn’t a righteous figure when he first appeared. Monkey king was a stone monkey who came from the magical stone of goddess nuwa. He was a trickster and a morally neutral existence. He soon became the king of monkeys and learn taoism under a great Taoist saint. During the process he learn immortality and become so powerful that almost no god can beat him. After he gain such strength, he went to the dragon king palace and acquired weapons and armor. Went to underworld and delete his name from book of death. He soon make alliance with demon kings in the mortal realm. Making him one of the greatest demon king in existence. When jade emperor discovered this, he give wukong a job in heaven. Which wukong gladly accept. But jade emperor still didn’t quite understand how strong wukong is. So he give him a position as stable boy for taming heavenly horses. Wukong feels extremely humiliated. So he quit the job and give him self the title of great sage equal to heaven in revenge. Heaven sees wukong’s refusal of the job as an insult. But after long discussion, they give wukong the title of great sage equal to heaven and invite him once more to live in heaven. As guardian of immortal peach garden. But monkey screw up his job again, because he end up eating all the peaches and even steal some pills of immortality. That finally angered the jade emperor. He dispatched the entire army of Heaven to arrest wukong. Monkey king was unrivaled in power even for gods. Only the great warrior god Erlang could fight him in equal strength. They eventually did capture the monkey through trap, but can’t find any way to kill him. Because he’s so bloody immortal, nothing can hurt him. He eventually break loss again and causing even greater havoc in heaven. Jade emperor finally calls the buddha himself to fix the problems. Buddha being the strongest beings in existence, easily subdue wukong, and trap him under a magical mountain. 500 years later Buddha send a chinese monk name Xuan Zang to retrieve the holy scripture from India. He choose wukong as one of monks body guards. Finally wukong was freed from the prison. But this time he humbly protect the monk in his journey to the west. During the process he starts to respect the monk. Also becoming a more humble and righteous person. He eventually was reworded by the Buddha and become a Buddha himself.
Did you just post your grad school paper here? Very nicely written!
@@j_chen138 excellent summary
Thank you for this summary and hopefully more people will understand a bit more about Chinese mythology. Almost everything you said is same as what I remembered but one: I think it wasn't the Buddha who chose Xuan Zang to travel to India for the scripture, it was the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. And the Budda whose name is GuanYin (or GuanShiYin) guided Xuan Zang to find and free WuKong, and assigned WuKong as one of the three bodyguards to protect XuanZang along his Journey
I am not reading all of that, holy shit. But I respect your persistence in typing such a comment. Cheers
Very nice, but that's just the mythology of in Tang dynasty based on the Chinese mythology, you should start from , that's where it begins.
end title music brings back all the nostalgia. the theme song for journey to the west 1986
Those giants are the 4 heavenly kings, they represent the 4 cardinal direction: North, East, South, West
Wukong beat them all and then Buddha stop him
Joe Hanz Did buddha beat him or stop him? I mean I have no idea, I just know that Wukong lost some kind of “heavenly war” ..was it cuz he was defeated? Or he stopped fighting due to Buddha?
@@satwikk9896 Buddha turned his hand into the "five fingers mountain" to catch tim, and imprison him under the mountain fot five hundred years
华山零狐充 goddamn and what happened after the 500 years? How’d he get out
@@satwikk9896 Tang Sanzang released him out and become the fellowship Journey to the west
As a Chinese player I am totally amazed. 西游记（The Journey to the West) is a classic Chinese novel which has profound cultural implications, and the dream of becoming 孙悟空（the protagonist, aka 齐天大圣）is deeply embeded in almost every Chinese kid's heart. 孙悟空 is brave, loyal, recalcitrant, and most importantly, he has flaws just as everyone else. I almost burst into tears when the music starts at the end of this trailer. That is the cultural gene of Chinese.
I can't wait to play this, I was waiting for a game developer to developed a game from chinese myth and I hope this would be epic like the god of war.
JCM 27 Same here! But I think we should hope for the best and accept that the chances of this being as epic as God of War are quite slim. The console game industry of China is not as developed as that of US after all. Plus they are recruiting at the end of this trailer, so I guess they are short-handed.
Then you must have gotten goosebumps all over when you saw the 金箍棒 at the end!
same
Yeah i know right? Tired of japanese culture representing asian gameplay, time for chinese mythology and cultivation to take over
For a few people who dont know, Journey to the West was the inspiration for Akira Toriyama to create Dragon Ball.
Sun Wukong -> Son Goku.
Journey to the West was the inspiration for every story in China and Japan. It’s basically the Chinese Odyssey
MauL Designs nooo you got confused. Odesssy is the western Journey to the west
@@Noir-Force Journey to the West was written in the 16th century, were as, Homer's Odyssey was written in the 8th century BCE. Thus Journey to the West is the Chinese Odyssey.
You're not the only one who knows Journey to the West. I do. I also watched the 1986 TV series.
And The God of high school
“How much more epic this game can get?”
If they did the origin story for the Monkey King, it’s basically God of War 3, Wu Kong fights a one man war against the gods.
I think that the later half of this game
Yok Gor obviously the complete Wukong Story with at least 81 chapters, which means 81 challenges on the journey, has more content than God of War3.
I hope neither game producers nor we players are too ambitious for now. It's totally fine that they make this into 2 or even 3 parts serie to tell the whole story gradually and in this way is more likely to keep its quality.
Song This is probably going to be as ambitious as God of War 1
God of War 3 is kill, kill, kill, and kill,this game will have story development and more content
He's in heaven fighting the gods at the end of the trailer when his staff grows real long.
任何人都逃不过真香定律！ 让全世界来期待这款来自东方的神作吧！！！
Goku is based off of wukong😂 flying nimbus, extending staff, god level power ❗️😂😂 its all the same 🔥🔥
Fax
and also the fact saiyan are pretty much space monkey alien with the tail and giant monkey form
originally：孙悟空
if you read the journey to the west, (manga?/manhua) wukong is prominent in and most known for. He has a form which is similar to the big apes that the Sayians turn into(as we seen in the video) he also dies during the journey and is reincarnated with golden hair and a golden tail etc he looks very much like a super sayian.
@@dclassslimjim4342 journey to the west is a novel from the 1500/1600s not a manga/manhua/manhwa if thats what you were referring to when you said (manga?/manhua)
He has the ability to change into 72 forms. He's so OP, he can single handedly destroy the heaven lol. This is so hype, my childhood was full of journey to the west story.
72 Form was actually a mistraslation so I won't blame you for that, it actually meant 72 different abilities, the clones and shape-shifting is only two of the 72 different abilities he has.
@arnold jayeola true fat, tho some call it 72 different school of abilities
I just realized that the old man narrating is most likely the Sun Wukong telling his own story in disguise, because that's a very Sun Wukong thing he'd do.
Also this has to be one of the best gameplay showcase of this year for a game in development. A few things I do hope they show more of is Wukong traversing the areas via a cloud and possibly more agility when he's on foot, some parkour showcasing possibly.
There is a commenter from another video say that old man is actalually Wu Kong when he became Buddha.
Wukong 悟空 was the monastic name given to the monkey when he submitted himself to Tripitaka's tutelage in the fable Journey to the West. His moniker prior to that was Great Sage Equalling Heaven 齐天大圣，bestowed by the Jade Emperor to pacify him from wreaking more chaos in the celestial plane.
Like all great Chinese classics (The Water Margin 水浒, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 三国, Investiture of the Gods 封神榜 etc), you have to learn to read between the lines to derive the true meaning of the story for yourself.
Wasn't Wukong his Buddhist name given by his Taoist (yeah I know) master?

Another monkey in armor, the stick with five letters written on it, "the Golden Band of Ruyi", this stick of origin from a very interesting story: in the story of "Journey to the West" this weapon, originally belonged to an important object in the palace of the East Sea Dragon King, it serves to stabilize the sea conditions in the East Sea, and later seized by Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong loved this weapon, and from then on the "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick" became his standard configuration.
If you know the "Journey to the West", Monkey King's story within it and Chinese mythology universe, this game goes to the next level of pleasure and excitement : )
Some basic things about Wu Kong (i.e. Sun Wukong, aka Monkey King) to help you understand some of the actions and things you see in the clip:
- Wu Kong was 'born' from The rock. (And the rock has background story where it comes from in
the Chinese mythology universe)
- Wu Kong went to learn how to be immortal for his fellow monkeys (eventually only learnt Kung Fu and skills/magic) from a 'god'. He can change into 72 forms of things/animals and can ride 'Jin Dou Cloud' (i.e. fly)
- He has learnt from his master (the god I mentioned above) that he can turn his hair/fur into clones of himself to fight the enemies;
- After he learnt his skills, he went back to his 'home town' and stayed with his fellow monkeys (they are normal monkeys).
- He could not find a suitable weapon for a while. Later he got (snatched) his weapon 'Ru Yi JIn Gu Bang' (the staff) from one of the Dragon King's palace (his friends told him that dragon king has got a large collection of weapons). The staff can become
bigger than skyscraper (or infinity big) or as small as a needle. To carry it easily, Wu Kong keep it in his ear. This is why you see he take it out and put it into the 'side of his head'. (This staff is not just a staff it has background story where it comes from)
- He also removed his own name from the 'Life and Death Registry Book' when he was taken to the underworld according to the fate recorded in this book.
- He has a famous battle with gods and their armies (because what his has done and the heaven failed to 'convert' him, they didn't treat him fair enough) and almost defeat all of them until Buddha take him down.
- After he was trapped under a mountain for 500 years (he becomes almost immortal be cause he has eaten several magical/heavenly food and
medicines during the battle with heaven), he was released to protect the monk Tang San Zang to go to the West (India) to get/learn the Buddhist scrolls back to ancient China. During this journey, He and his master San Zang has to overcome 81 challenges before they successfully return the ancient capital of China.
- Because the monsters on the route heard the rumour that anyone who has eaten Wu Kong's master Tang San Zang will be become immortal, so every monster tried to capture Tang San Zang when he pass their territory. And Wu Kong and two other followers of Tang San Zang have to defeat all the monsters during the journey.
- After they meet the Buddha and get the scrolls, Wu Kong was promoted to one of the buddha. (The old monk in the clip should be in this form)
......
Vast and complicated mythology universe behind this.
17:00 take my money , dude! I like your reacction here!
I’m literally crying I can’t imagine the hours and efforts they put in. A story happened over 1500 years ago and all the history and culture thing. Thanks so much to them for re-presenting Chinese ancient hero great monkey king in every Chinese mind and generate it into a game letting others seeing rich Chinese culture and enjoy it. Respect and much appreciated
I share your enthusiasm. Sun Wukong is every east asian kid's superhero. The story of the Journey to the West, that tells of his adventures as he accompanies his master to retrieve the Mahayana sutras from India, is the stuff of countless comic, tv and movie adaptations. Magic, myth and religion on another level. Awesome to see him brought to life in this game. I can't wait.
I think is the reverse, Kratos is probably mostly inspired by Son Wu kong.
Ummm kratos has no relation or inspiration from sun wu Kong, goku from dragonballz is based off the God, kratos is loosely based off Leonidas but primarily made up
Just the huge boss fights
GBG check out Funghua Zhong art on google
@@darklink999 bruh, he's not even talking about goku. The real wukong is from a chinese movie series lmao. And yeah, I grew up watching that, and I think God of war was inspired by it. Wukong just go around kicking God's asses

You know, your reaction to Wukong flying on a cloud was exactly like how I reacted when I watched the show as a kid. Just, "he can fly on a cloud?!" Pure amazement and wonder!
Please be patient, this trail was released to attract more people who are enthusiatic about Chinese own myth video games to join their team. The company is called "Game Science" and located in Hangzhou China and they are hiring more technical guys to accomplish this huge game. I think we still need to wait for about two years until the final game is finished well.
You about to get crazy with them combos
The story is about the evolution or growth of Wukong into being buddha’s successor so no multiplayer in my opinion.
I don't know, like, if there's an alternative reality where all the mini boss with their own skill set can go Battle Royal. Or the 4 Chaos Monkeys can run to each other, each one tries to capture a miniboss and then go all out. I don't know, but I'll dig that any day of the year
FYI, the weapon used by Wukong is a super huge pillar used to stabilize the four seas, it can change it’s size according to the wielder. Wukong snatched it from the sea dragon kings.
This is no only a game. This is our dream, our culture, our inheritance. This will be everything.
Lol when I saw that this morning i freaked out hope it lives up to the hype
It definitely will they just need a lot more talented people.
Sun wukong is the chinese version of kratos actually, he is an anti-god
yup, he basically the embodiment of rebelliousness
Yeah, someway I got that God of War feel too when I seen it for some reason
@@Keezy59 the developer did mention somewhere that they were inspired by GOW and some other very successful games
he is the new God
Kima Xeo He is actually an old god
A little bit of background info.
He is a monkey born out of a magic stone who gathered all the spirit of the world. And he went to the heavenly palace to learn all sorts of abilities, include the 72 transformation, the fire and golden eye which allows him to look through all the mists and disguise of other kinds of monsters, and also he uses one hair to create many of him. Then he went to the sea palace and got the stick guarded by the dragon king which was supposed to maintain the balance of the sea. And essentially he went to the west to fetch the Buddhist scriptures with the monk, the pig and the sand monster.
There is a lot about him all in the book Journey to the West.
Saw this earlier, the game looks crazy! 🔥🔥 Hoping that everything goes well with the team's development process.
for whoever doesn't know wukong, just FYI, its actually the
prototype character of Goku in dragon ball. Toriyama designed Sun Goku based on Sun Wukong (the central character of the Chinese novel Journey to the West). And Wukong and Goku are the exactly same , just Wukong is Chinese pronunciation and Goku is Japanese pronunciation
Even though they have the same name, but they are not the same. Please do not compare wukong with some shit ass anime character.
Abel Tan Wym Goku was originally based of Wukong
@@123Kid860 but still every part of his character is unlike him. The origin, the looks, the abilities, the characteristics, and so.
What a beautiful looking game, smooth graphics
As a Chinese, I have to say I've been waiting for this game my entire life. and I feel obligated to explain the gist of the story for people to get a better understanding of the game and enjoy the details and game as a Chinese person would.
First a bit of a background context for those who are not familiar with the story, the game is based on one of the four greatest Chinese literature "Journey to the West", the book has been turned into TV series, movies, mobile games and has a monumental influence to the eastern culture. The TV series has been played on Chinese TV for over 3000 times, yes THREE THOUSAND times, making it one of the if not the most repeated series in history. Dragon Ball's Goku is inspired by the book, the main character in the game is Monkey King "Sun WuKong" who in the book wanted to overthrow the Emperor of the Heavens and become the ruler of the world. he eventually failed and was banished and imprisoned by Buddha under the "five finger mountain" for 500 years.
To redeem himself, the Buddha ordered him to protect a Monk to the west for the holy scrolls. they would eventually succeed and Monkey king will become the "Buddha warrior"
Now in the book and in the game, his main weapon is a staff that can change sizes at his will, when he is not using it he turns it into a needle which he then puts into his ear. the game demonstrates that really well.
his abilities also consist of 72 forms of shape-shifting, shadow clones, fly on a nimbus, and loads more.
In Chinese mythology, there are literally thousands of Gods, the old short guy we see in the demo is one of them called the "god of land"-- one of the lowest ranking Gods. he was warning Wukong not to go into the temple as there is a monster guarding it.
In the final montage. we see a number of monsters. the stand out for me would be the 4 titans we see, in the book, they are the "Four Greatest heavenly kings" sort of like the guardians of heaven. each has one unique weapon "Pipa(Chinese instrument )", "Sword", "A Python" and "Umbrella". that is the boss fight I am most excited about.
I can't wait for this game to be released.
Hope this helps. enjoy the trailer.
U got a lot of views on a Chinese website, ppl love u! Thanks for reacting!!!
People keep on missing that song at the end, the Journey to the West theme song!
The graphics are dope
YES, China should stand tall and proud for its culture. Keep churning out freaking awesome stuff like this. So much it could offer the world and everyone will gain from it. I'm not even a gamer but have been watching reactions to this game for days.
the story itself will amaze you even more. And come back to this trailer after reading the story of journey to the west and it’s myth, it will bring your experience to another level.
Holy shit it looks amazing it's too good to be true
I’m a Monkey king fan since I discovered DBZ was inspired by Sun Wukong! Basically the Original God of War!!!
to some who don't know, Son WuKong is a character from a Chinese myth novel 400 years ago called Journey to the West. In the myth, some of his powers include riding clouds, transforming (72 forms), that magical staff he wields can lengthen and shorten, he also hides it in his ears when it's tiny. When he tears off strands of his hair, each strand can turn into a clone of himself. Oh, and let's not forget he can freeze people with words. that's all i remember for the moment. but he's pretty dope!
I heard about this game and saw the gameplay. Combat looks sick! Graphics are also beautiful. Looking forward to this game and also Elden Ring. Ima get both games. Stay elevated brother!

According to the founder of the game group's Weibo(Chinese Twitter) Sony, Microsoft and so on. These big companies are already coming for them. But he said they refused all the invitation of those companies.
No, I think what the creator meant is that the big companies like Tencent and others are sending headhunting to the studio. And, the studio refused all the invitation and media interview in order to have time and focus to make the game
@@jeffpen4622 They want to pay more attention to making games. Those investors have not considered it for the time being, but technical cooperation is acceptable~

There's one, the one from the movie, but I've heard it's not specially good.

After all i watched all the video response from other youtuber regarding wukong game , you got the best response , thumbs up man 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
This is my dream game since my childhood and I never thought someday will come for this game to exist .Now its really here and really can't believe it. That's why I don't mind waiting another 2 or 3 years for it.

According to their official website, this would be on PC and all mainstream platforms
Zoey D yea, but I feel Sony will have some sort of exclusive deal. The way how Sony been lately with third party exclusive, the chances are pretty high. I could be wrong though, time will tell.
The biggest possibility comes from Tencent.
Justin Poon no, they left tencent to make this game.
Love your video! So funny
You know, the last few seconds of the PV, about 10 sec of bgm，it's actually re-arrangment of the original opening song of the TV show which was filmed in 1986.
They said this game is need about 2~3 year, maybe 5 years to finished. 😭😭
Well, I'd rather they take their time and make an AAA master piece instead of rushing it and release some trash.
I think they have a very small team that’s why
@@sfhgdshj6944 This video is mentioned at the end，This is an employee recruitment advertisement
I think now alot more invester, hopefully more money more man power to finish...
@Zimbie G ,
More like an investor recruitment ads. First, they will get large investors like Tencent to give them a lot of money, and then they will have the budget to hire more programmers. It will speed things up by a lot once they have new investors.
The developers twist the story “The journey to the West” by adding story lines about the true identity of WuKong instead of following the original story in which there is only one WuKong. This is the reason why you guys see the old monkey telling you the story at the beginning of the game and also play as the young monkey king then finally stopped by the monkey king with mercy.
I get the point of view, but isn't it in the legend there was a story arc where wukong fighting another version of him that want to challenge him for becoming Xuanzang disciple in his journey? there's a view interpretation of it, a comic just made it double wukong, and a drama series made the challenging monkey a different monkey king ( forgot his name ) but in the end wukong defended his place as Xuanzang disciple.
I kinda want to see wukong fighting the other version of him in this game. hahahaha.
@@ruuoxi There is a fake WuKong in the story who creates a lot of trouble for the crew and nearly breaks them down. That is one of the best stories in the journy and the monkey is called "six ears"
Men, i will be waiting the release of this game to see your combo montage
It look super insane!!!
Man, the level of epicness shown in the gameplay was disrespectful for my soul… I was not ready for this.

That’s actually a good theory I never noticed, cause there’s one monkey king, unless thts his master and you get to use him later on
Or maybe its a twist where one is son goku n the other is son wukong
Very accurate theory, but what really is happening is that the armored monkey is THE Sun Wukong, so we were just playing as the Six Ear Macaque, there are more of them you'll encounter when playing as the monkey king. Both of those guys were born from a magical stone. That's as much as I can get out off from reading the comments.
Man your reactions are almost better then the video which is amazing !🤩
brah, saying this is inspired by god of war is like saying "look they made a game about the guy wukong from league of legends" hahahaha
He is saying about the gameplay. The gameplay really gives some God of War 2018 and Sekiro vibes. And the developers confirmed that the game took inspiration from both games.
Yes this game should be a power fantasy type and not souls like game. Sun Wukong is a powerful being to begin with and not some push over. game should be like God of War or Darksiders 1&2
Pufff we also have a wukong in dota 2 is not inspired in neither of the 2 games.
@@gibingeorge3352 the developers NEVER confirmed that the game took inspiration from both games, ppl might believe u if u just say they took inspiration from just GoW, include LoL? everybody can tell ur talking nonsense.
@@aec749 And where did you get the idea they never confirmed it? Just watch Yongyea's video about Black Myth Wukong trailer, and he says about it. Skip to 21:24 in that video. They specifically said God of War, Sekiro and Monster Hunter World.
the guy you called“uncle” is named as “土地爷”，the little god of earth.
It's more like "god of local soil" (not exactly, but I can't find more proper translation :P)
@@sleptwarrior6604 I think "Local earth deity" is the proper translation.
or Soil God
Soil Deity or whatever idk
I did not expect to see this video i your channel! Great!
You should come see what is happening in Chinese gamer community right now. Everyone is excited af, like a soccer fan looking at their national team winning the World Cupo after 200 million years... This excitement is so large than even CCP noticed and phrased the developer in CCTV news, it's crazy.
I always like the Chinese Myths. I hope the game shows Ao Kuang too who give him his staff Ruyi Jingu Bang
. Finally they made a decent Sun Wukong-Mythology game, i hope this comes in a good way.
For those who said in the live chat "Sony please buy this company". This company is formed with ex-Tencent (largest gaming producer on the planet if you haven't been informed) employees who got had enough of bureaucratic interference and decided to quit and start their own indie company. There's no way they will allow another overlord on top of them.
As a Chinese, Tencent really blocked the development of Chinese games. Because mobile games are too profitable, they are not willing to make AAA games, and even prevent others from doing AAA games.
@@user-eb3ob1qz5u Why are they doing this? Why prevent the others? Are they trying to monopolize the entire field?
@@chan6565 Yes, monopoly can make more money
Why here is another WUKONG? Here I wanna add some background and true hidden stories about WUKONG.
1，The true and false Monkey King is a chapter of Journey to the West, because the disobedient Wukong had a conflict with Tang Seng and knocked him down. However, in the the book, it is said that fake Wukong was the one who defeated Tang Seng, and no one can tell who is the real and who is the fake. Their combat effectiveness is also the same, and they even have the same weapon-the golden hoop.
In the end, the Buddha distinguished the real Wukong and the real Wukong killed the fake Wukong.
But here are 2 main explanations or real stories the book didnot tell.
First, The real Wukong was killed, and the fake Wukong continued to travel west. I will explain why there are such stories later.
Second,
there is only one Wukong in the whole story, but Wukong himself has contradictions. It is his own submissive side that killed his own rebellious side.
Now, I will explain why have such explanations and what WUKONG means for Chinese people.
Wukong was born from a stone between heaven and earth, without father and mother. His dream is to lead his monkeys to live happily in Huaguo mountain and hope to live forever, so he went to hell and tore up the book of life and death which means They can live forever. But this was not allowed by Gods, so he fought with one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers (this is the battle scene at the end of this video), and he was arrested. At last, he began his journey to the west. It is hard to tell the whole story here.
But the birth of Wukong represents a lawless person who resists the gods and pursues absolute freedom. He does not harm others, but he is still controlled and restricted by the gods.
He wants to break all the rules and restrictions on him. So, here is why Budda and gods wanna kill the true WUKONG, because they represent the rules and restrictions.
Some people say that this book is a story of a child growing up and becoming a man. This is a good ending.
Some people say that this is a tragedy, it is a story of us being assimilated and domesticated by society and rules. We were both Wukong when we were young, but as we grew up we discovered that we were restricted by various rules even if we did not authorize them to restrict us. In the end we had to become a part of this society, just like Wukong finally became a Buddha, that is the job given to him in this system.
Why does the old man in the video cry? I guess he is the old Wukong, and the true hero finally became an obedient "Buddha", but he still miss the other him----the true hero of his monkeys. It's like we have become a member of society, but the real we are actually the "wild monkey", we still yearn for absolute freedom, unfettered, just like a running wild monkey.
2, all the abilities and skills in the game are real abilities WUKONG have. His weapon is hidden in his ears because The golden hoop can be bigger and smaller.
3，The surname of WUKONG is SUN, the same with the author of: The Art Of War.
4, The cloud is actually his fly machine which given by his master.
Finally, my english is not very good, so I have no ability to tell the essence and spirit of this story. There is too much true meaning hidden in the story about us and about society.
If you want to understand this story, I suggest you read this book, and then read other people's interpretations or the dark side Journey to the West. You will understand the true meaning of the whole story.
We have all become part of society, but I hope that "Wukong" in our hearts will exist forever. As long as it exists, we will never be defeated by society.
I am from XinJiang,China and I will go back my country in few days, and i wanna make some videos about the facts in XinJIANG, and my thinking, and the fake BBC as well, you can subscribe me if you like to see it. TY
May you be able to share the name of the novel and the authors name? Im quite interest to know more about the “two” monkey kings. I didnt realize their were 2, real and fake Sun Wukong.
Now I understand why most MK inspired anime like God of Highschool and Dragon ball have an enemy identical appearance to the mc.(Goku Black Goku, Mori Jin idk the name but he’s clone develop its own consciousness and personality).
@@Slash_Moves the original novel is: journey to the west， but this book just tell the story, after reading this you can search on google about real or hidden facts of journey to the west
SLash Moves 《西游记》-- 吴承恩
Journey to the West -- Wu Chengen
and the so called fake one is named six-ear-macuque 六耳猕猴. And after this fight something's changed on Wukong, he became softer and less brutal. Some readers say the real Wukong died in the fight and got replaced by fake Wukong secretly, others think it's just Wukong got touched somehow and so behaved differently then. No one know the truth.

Nah that's not his god mode. That's the enemy he had fought earlier. Super cool. And the music at the end of the video, that's the theme song of the original Journey to the West series. It literally gives me goosebumps!!! I'm so hyped for this gameeee
Bro this character got so much drip like it’s unbelievable 🔥
15:40 This scene echo so much with the current political environment for people do understand what that scene means...It's basically the "I can't breath" moment in the story.
After 17:12 when the young WuKong defected the heavenly army, he was catch by the Buddha and put under a mountain(15:40) for 500 years. For the offer of his release, he agreed(tricked) to put a metal band on his head which will shrink whenever his new master mumbles a spell to ensure his obedient toward the "non-combatant" new master.
Yep, this game is wayyyyy darker than some people may think.
My guess: the background of the game should be after the end of the journey to the West. The apparent purpose of the journey to the West is to build a world where humans can live happily. In fact, it is just a new division of power between the Buddhist gods and Taoist gods. They don't care about humans. The monsters have not been eliminated, they just express surrender to the gods, and can still harm humans. Judging from the sequence of the pictures, the protagonist is about to embark on a journey again, from the end to the beginning, a journey to the east.
Forget about Sony and other western studio. They're gonna ruin the game storyline
hahahaa
Sony just give studios money, see what kojima did with death stranding for example, this game would only improve if it comes into sony's hands.

Finally, one of the greatest Chinese classics of literature is being introduced to the foreign world, however, I still see no possibility for the westerners to fully understand the essence of the story and the great culture behind it. They still look at it from a more Japanese cartoon way. But interestingly, the Dragon Ball comic did originate and borrow a lot of the ideas from this classic Chinese novel from 400 hundred years ago. Every Chinese individual knows about this novel, together with a lot of other brilliant ones.Question is, do you really want to step further a little and care to learn what the whole story is about?
I'm guessing that's gonna be developer's greater challenge, to really get people interested to know more.
Do you know that your reaction video has been played more than one million times on a video website in China（www.bilibili.com）？And Chinese netizens all say that you are very interesting and your reaction is very real!
I'm Chinese, I'm pretty much know about Journey to the West and Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was born from the magic stone that resides Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. After his birth, he became the Monkey King. His ability can transform into 72 different animals and objects. Each of his hairs have transformative powers, and he can magically manipulate wind, water and fire as well. Wukong also search his suitable weapon until he acquired the Golden-banded staff, the stabilizer of the Four Seas and a treasure of Ao Guang, the dragon-king of the Eastern Seas. The Monkey King is the only creature strong enough to wield the staff-like weapon and there is an instant affinity between them. The Golden-banded staff can change its size, elongate, fly and attack opponents according to its master's will. It weighs 13,500 jīn or 7960 kg. When not wielding the weapon, the Monkey King shrinks it down to the size of a sewing needle and stores it in his ear. At first the Jade Emperor of the heaven was not interested in him, but he later invited him to the heaven where Wukong became 'Protector of the Horses', or stableman, which is the lowest ranking job in heaven. When Wukong discovered this, he was not happy and rebelled against the heaven, until the Buddha came who imprisoned Wukong under a mountain. 500 years later, a Buddhist monk, Tang Sanzang, or Tang Seng, released Wukong who became his disciple. Throughout the journey to India, they encountered humanoid demons who tried eat Tang Seng's flesh, believing by eating it, they would become immortal, so Wukong was also tasked to protect him along with two other disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.
watching yall discussing this Chinese culture inspired game is fun, especially having a pine in my hand
Inspired by god of war? You haven't played any Dark Souls game yet have you? 🙃
More like Dark Souls than God Of War
the uncle you said at 8:00 is a minion god called the "earth god" if translated word by word. Although called god but acctualy he is more like globin or Leprechaun in western myth. And he knows many events happen in the local he lives. So he can be considered as NPC in this game.
Everyone at 18:00 - Chinese Words
Me at 18:00 -I'm not gonna call it's Wukong game without this theme song.They made it perfect.Great!
Dude's bout to flip the heaven upside down
you hade me aT WHOSE UNCLE IS THIS I DIED LAUGHING AND SUBBED
GBG will be going crazy with the fluid combat plus all the combos 😱😱
For these that doesn't know, the writer from dragon ball was inspired by the book journey to the west (written in 16th century)
Sun wun kong (which is the real name of son goku), has the ability which is with his own fur he makes clones of himself.
Some of the Naruto story was also inspired by the book
Sun Wukong (孫悟空) (pinyin: sūnwùkōng) is the name given to this character by his teacher, Subhuti, the latter part of which means "Awakened to Emptiness" (in the Waley translation, Aware-of-Vacuity); he is called Monkey King. He is born on Flower Fruit Mountain from a stone egg that forms from an ancient rock created by the coupling of Heaven and Earth. He first distinguishes himself by bravely entering the Water Curtain Cave on the mountain; for this feat, his monkey tribe gives him the title of "Handsome Monkey King". After seeing a fellow monkey die because of old age, he decides to travel around the world to seek the Tao, and find a way to be able to live forever. He eventually found the " Grand Master of Bodhi (菩提祖师）", who taught him the 72 methods of transformation, "sumersault cloud", and thus got his supernatural abilities. After angering several gods and coming to the attention of the Jade Emperor, he is given a minor position in heaven as the Keeper of Horses (弼马温) so they can keep an eye on him. This job is a very low position, and when he realises that he was given a low position and not considered a full-fledged god, he becomes very angry. Upon returning to his mountain, he puts up a flag and declares himself the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven". Then the Jade Emperor dispatches celestial soldiers to arrest Sun Wukong, but no one succeeds. The Jade Emperor has no choice but to appoint him to be the guardian of the heavenly peach garden. The peach trees in the garden bear fruit every 3,000 years, and eating its flesh will bestow immortality, so Sun Wukong eats nearly all of the ripe peaches. Later, after fairies who come to collect peaches for Xi Wangmu's heavenly peach banquet inform Sun Wukong he is not invited and make fun of him, he starts causing trouble in Heaven and defeats an army of 100,000 celestial troops, led by the Four Heavenly Kings, Erlang Shen, and Nezha. Eventually, the Jade Emperor appeals to the Buddha, who seals Wukong under a mountain called Five Elements Mountain. Sun Wukong is kept under the mountain for 500 years, and cannot escape because of a seal that was placed on the mountain. He is later set free when Tang Sanzang comes upon him during his pilgrimage and accepts him as a disciple.
