Black Myth Wukong is one of the best games of 2024 and has even won the Ultimate Game of the Year Award, at Golden Joystick Awards 2024. During the “victory speech”, Feng Ji from Game Science said: “there might just be some surprises waiting for you later this year.” And apparently, that came true, as the latest Black Myth Wukong update added something like a “Boss Rush” mode in the game.
