- Black Myth: Wukong has been in development for two years so far.
- The team is aiming to release the game no less than three years from now.
- Game Science is aiming for more than 15 hours of playtime.
- The team plans on including over 100 enemy types in the final game, including bosses.
- Black Myth: Wukong is designed to be a gritty take on Journey to the West, featuring a more complex, dark version of the tale of Sun Wukong the Monkey King escorting a monk with a sacred scroll.
- The trailer shows three different monkeys - players will have to wait to work out who the real Wukong is.
- The trailer area is called Black Wind Mountain, and took six months to build.
- The playtime of Black Wind Mountain is planned to be 30 to 60 minutes on normal difficulty. It will be one of the game's earlier levels.
- Four or five versions of Black Wind Mountain trailer were created before the demo we saw was deemed ready for release.
- The demo is entirely playable, and can be played using different approaches - fighting enemies instead of transforming into a Golden Cicada to avoid them, for instance.
- The player can use multiple different transformations during the Wolf boss fight - more than the one shown in the trailer.
- The game currently features a test area - nicknamed "Toilet" - that includes four other bosses not shown in the trailer.
- Black Myth: Wukong is the first of three planned Black Myth games, each one drawing on different Chinese tales. Co-founder Feng Ji wants to create a Black Myth Universe, not unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Facts About the Developer, Game Science
- 30 people are working on the game right now, with the developer's three co-founders all starting the company after working at Tencent.
- The game is being designed as a premium console game - something considered unusual and risky in the contemporary Chinese market.
- The team discussed outsourcing some of the development to companies that had worked with Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica, but have decided not to.
- Game Science is planning to hire 10-15 more people to allow for the company to have two separate teams working on level design simultaneously.
- After the game's trailer went viral, the company saw 10,000 resumes sent to them, with some people coming to the office itself to ask for a job.
- The company plans to go quiet "for a long time" to work on the game, and won't show any more of the game until the develoeprs believe that what they'll show is better than the first trailer.
