Due to the impressive trailers revealed before the game’s release,Black Myth: Wukongwas already one of the most highly anticipated titles of 2024. However, Game Science never developed AAA games before starting the development of this title, so it’s somewhat surprising that theJourney to the West-inspired game became so popular outside of China, where around 70% of its units were sold.

Gamer Reaches Level 342 in Black Myth: Wukong
While Pyr0pigGy1 claims to have completed all the content in the game, they only obtained 79 out of the 81 Steamachievements forBlack Myth: Wukong. While playing the game, Pyr0pigGy1 failed to discover a missable curio, which can be acquired by killing all the lantern heads in the Pagoda Realm before defeating the boss. This prevented them from obtaining “A Curious Collection,” which in time blocked them from gaining the “Final Fulfillment” achievement, only unlocked when claiming all other achievements.
