Grab excellent action RPG Black Myth Wukong at its cheapest price while you can

After years of trailers highlighting its visual beauty and intense combat, Black Myth: Wukong took the world by storm in 2024. Game Science's debut triple-A game takes iconic elements from the soulslike genre and combines them with the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West. The result is a brilliant and memorable ARPG - and you can now enjoy it at its cheapest price yet.

As one of last year's best RPGs, Black Myth: Wukong hardly goes on sale. When it does, it's usually just a small discount, and despite plenty of new PC games coming and going since its release, its $60 price tag has remained pretty sturdy. However, you can now grab it at a huge discount, with Fanatical knocking Black Myth: Wukong down by 27%.

But if you don't know why Black Myth: Wukong is celebrated as one of the best soulslikes, let me explain. You play the Destined One, traversing the lands and locales inspired by Journey to the West. However, it's not some scenic walk, as plenty of monstrous foes stand between you and your goals, including some impressive Black Myth: Wukong bosses, with the likes of Erlang setting the stage straightaway with a truly bombastic opening fight.

To deal with the many threats during Black Myth: Wukong, you'll learn a variety of staff techniques, while also equipping spells and transformations, allowing you to take the form of various guai (or spirits). I love all the tools and skills that the game offers you, allowing you to experiment and craft your own legend in the best PC game of last year.

I'm not alone in my high praise for the game, as in our 8/10 Black Myth: Wukong review, Nat Smith calls it "an ambitious action RPG with stunning visuals, colossal boss designs, and snappy combat." While some of the exploration elements left me hoping for more, Black Myth: Wukong nails the soulslike feel, with solid action that makes you feel as cool as it plays out.

If you've been waiting for the right time to try out Black Myth: Wukong, you can buy it for just $43.79 / £37.99 at Fanatical, a huge discount off the usual price, and it's certainly worth getting at such a low price. We're not sure how long this deal will stick around, so make sure to grab it while you have the chance.

It's perfect timing, as a Black Myth: Wukong expansion is reportedly set to arrive in the not-too-distant future, so you can catch up before Game Science expands the excellent game even more.
