孙悟空即将登陆任天堂 Switch

Wukong Sun: Black Legend, a game currently available for pre-order on the US eShop, faces an uncertain future due to its striking similarities to the acclaimed title, Black Myth: Wukong. While drawing inspiration is common in game development, Wukong Sun: Black Legend appears to go beyond inspiration, incorporating elements that closely resemble Game Science's hit game. The visual style, the protagonist wielding a staff, and the plot synopsis bear a strong resemblance, raising concerns about potential copyright infringement.

The game's description reads: "Embark on an epic journey to the West. Play as the immortal Wukong, the legendary Monkey King, battling for order in a chaotic world filled with formidable monsters and perilous dangers. Explore a story inspired by Chinese mythology, featuring intense combat, stunning environments, and legendary foes." This description echoes the core elements of Black Myth: Wukong's narrative and setting.

In contrast to Wukong Sun: Black Legend, Black Myth: Wukong, from a small Chinese studio, achieved unexpected popularity, topping Steam charts. Its success stems from its intricate detail, engaging gameplay, and skillfully designed combat system—a challenging yet accessible souls-like experience. The game's stunning visuals, particularly its fluid animations and beautiful battle sequences, are frequently praised. Its captivating setting and visual design are considered its greatest strengths, immersing players in a breathtaking and unforgettable world. Many gamers believe Black Myth: Wukong deserved a "Game of the Year 2024" nomination at the TGA. The legal ramifications of Wukong Sun: Black Legend's apparent plagiarism remain to be seen, with the possibility of a copyright lawsuit from Game Science leading to the game's removal from the eShop.
