Black Myth: Wukong Receives Exciting New Update

Black Myth: Wukong fans have something to look forward to with the latest update for the record-breaking action-RPG. Director of the game had previously teased some “surprises” coming before the end of the year, and now players can enjoy a range of new features and improvements.
