New Black Myth: Wukong Update Adds Boss Rush Mode and More

Developer Game Science has released a new update for its action game, Black Myth: Wukong. The update adds a number of new features including a long-requested boss rush mode that players can tackle once they’ve beaten the game at least once. Other features include new equipment to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year.

Update 1.0.12.16581 adds a new boss rush mode to Black Myth: Wukong called Challenge, which can be accessed at any Keeper’s Shrine once players have beaten the game. Two types of challenges will be available: Return of Rivals and Gauntlet of Legends. In Return of Rivals, players can fight a previously defeated boss again with three types of difficulty. Gauntlet of Legends lets players battle through a succession of bosses using customised curses to adjust the difficulty on the fly.

“This mode can be difficult, as some old opponents may surprise with new moves,” said Game Science about the boss rush mode. “Proceed with caution!”

The update also adds a new feature called the Journeyer’s Chart, which is unlocked once players reach Black Wind Mountain and meet the Keeper. Essentially, this is a chart that, well, let’s you chart your journey across the game. Finally, players can also expect new equipment that has been added ahead of the Chinese New Year, themed around the festive season.

Black Myth: Wukong recently made the shortlist of games being considered for the big categories at the BAFTA Games Awards 2025. It’s also in the running for Game of the Year, Best Action Game and multiple other awards at The Game Awards which takes place this Thursday. While it received mostly positive reviews at launch, it was one of the biggest financial successes of the year, selling 18 million copies and almost $1 billion in revenue in just under a month.

Black Myth: Wukong is available on PS5 and PC.
