New Black Myth Wukong Trailer Ditches Xbox Series X and S Version

The controversy surrounding sexist comments by Game Science's founders and developers has had a significant impact on the perception of both Black Myth Wukong and the studio itself. Many Chinese gamers, particularly women and their allies, find the comments demeaning and alienating, leading to growing backlash against the game and the studio. This has resulted in heated debates between those demanding apologies and accountability, and others defending the studio.

The controversy has also raised concerns about the game's potential international release and how it might be received by a broader audience. Some worry that the comments and the studio's handling of the situation could hurt the game's chances of success outside of China, where it has been receiving considerable attention and praise for its graphics and gameplay.

Despite the controversy, there are still many gamers who are looking forward to the release of Black Myth Wukong and are eager to play it. However, the ongoing debate and negative attention could impact the game's reputation and potentially its sales, especially if the studio does not address the concerns raised by its critics.

Game Science decided not to release Black Myth Wukong on Xbox Series X and S simultaneously with PS5 and PC due to optimization issues. The developer stated that the Xbox version did not meet their quality standards, and they are currently working on optimizing the game for the Xbox platform4. They apologized to Xbox users for the delay and assured that they aim to minimize the wait. Game Science plans to announce the release date for the Xbox Series X|S version as soon as it meets their quality standards.
