Wukong Sun: Black Legend, a game currently available for pre-order on the US eShop, faces an uncertain future due to striking similarities to the popular title, Black Myth: Wukong. While drawing inspiration is common in game development, Wukong Sun: Black Legend appears to go beyond inspiration, incorporating elements that closely resemble Game Science's hit game. The visual style, the protagonist wielding a staff, and the plot synopsis bear a strong resemblance, raising concerns of copyright infringement.
The game's description reads: "Embark on an epic journey to the West. Assume the role of the immortal Wukong, the legendary Monkey King, battling for order in a chaotic world filled with formidable monsters and perilous dangers. Explore a narrative inspired by Chinese mythology, featuring intense combat, breathtaking locations, and legendary foes." This description echoes the core elements of Black Myth: Wukong's narrative and setting.
In contrast, Black Myth: Wukong, developed by a small Chinese studio, achieved unexpected success, topping Steam charts. Its popularity stems from its intricate detail, engaging gameplay, and challenging yet accessible combat system—a blend of action RPG and Souls-like elements. The combat is visually stunning, characterized by fluid animations, and the game's strength lies in its captivating world and character design. Many gamers believe Black Myth: Wukong deserved a "Game of the Year 2024" nomination at The Game Awards.
Given the apparent similarities between Wukong Sun: Black Legend and Black Myth: Wukong, Game Science may pursue legal action for copyright infringement, potentially leading to the removal of Wukong Sun: Black Legend from the eShop. The future of this pre-order title remains highly uncertain.
