Black Myth: Wukong may be fully released, but there’s still polishing to be done, especially with a few tougher bosses or frustrating bugs.
Developed by Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong tells the tale of the Destined One, in an homage to the classic story, Journey to the West. Throughout, you’re tasked to battle vicious bosses, gaining power as you go. However, the release hasn’t been without its bugs. Luckily, plenty of those are being fixed in the August 29 patch.
Namely, Captain Wise-Voice is getting its stats reduced in this patch, which will hopefully make it an easier battle. On top of this, the Lantern Warderns in the Pagoda Realm won’t be able to push and trap players onto a wall.
Multiple crash issues are being eliminated with the patch, as well as a fix for an issue is being added where the progress display for collecting Portraits in Journals was incorrect.

Additionally, the devs have identified an issue where setting the system language to Turkish on PS5 causes the game to crash on launch. Similarly, on the PC version, setting the Windows system language to Turkish may lead to occasional crashes during certain boss fights.
If you encounter this issue, the current temporary workaround is to change the console language to English or another language via the PS5 main menu: Settings > System > Language > Console Language.
For the PC version, please change the Windows display language to English or another language via the operating system settings: Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > Windows display language.
Game Science has also said they are actively working to resolve this issue and will fix it in an upcoming patch and further issued an apology for the inconvenience to players.
