Summary
Black Myth: Wukongis a popular video game that released on PC in 2024. That automatically makes it a prime target for modders to strut their stuff and do their thing, and we’ve already seen some absolutely bananas (pun intended) mods come from the game’s community in recent weeks. Yes,The Destined One has been turned into CJ from GTA: San Andreas.
However, one Black Myth: Wukong fan from China probably has the trophy for the strangest mod on lockdown, as they’ve managed to turn the game into a first-person shooter.First shared by Kotaku, a clip of the creator’s mod blew up on the Black Myth: Wukong subreddit this past week, showcasing The Destined One throwing down with the game’s first boss, Erlang, with nothing but an assault rifle.Your 73 attacks aren’t so fancy now, huh?
Black Myth: Wukong Has Been Turned Into A First-Person Shooter
In the videos, we can also see the player taking out a variety of different grunts from afar, getting completely peppered by a spray of bullets and going down in mere seconds. Not evena rough early boss like Wandering Wightwas able to put up a fight against The Destined One with an AK-47, though it does look quite easy to get headshots against the poor guy.
These videos can be traced back toa user on the Chinese video sharing website Bilibili, and are part of an effort to see what Black Myth: Wukong would be like in first-person. According to one of the video’s titles (translated by Kotaku), they found the entire experience rather challenging, though the project evolved into turning the game into a first-person shooter.
It’s a fairly impressive effort too, almost as if developer Game Science itself included a secret AK-47 and first-person mode for players to find. Unfortunately, I don’t think that Game Science has any official plans right now to put assualt rifles and pistol in Black Myth: Wukong just yet. Then again,we’re supposedly getting some DLC around Chinese New Year next year, so you never know?
