Wukong is inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West. It has six chapters, each focusing on a specific location: Black Wind Mountain, Yellow Wind Ridge, The New West, The Webbed Hollow, Flaming Mountains, and Mount Huaguo.] The game is set in a world with gods from the Chinese pantheon, including Buddhist, Daoist, and other deities. Many yaoguais, who are beings characterized by preternatural abilities and strange appearances, inhabit this world. The game introduces cultural and natural landmarks derived from the real-world into its setting. It features, for example, several locations from Shanxi Province, such as the Yungang Grottoes, Little Western Paradise, Nanchan Temple, Iron Buddha Temple, Guangsheng Temple, and Stork Tower, as well as locations from other provinces, such as the Kaiyuan Temple in Fujian Province. Each chapter concludes with an animated cutscene providing a reflection and exploration of the narrative and thematic elements of Black Myth Wukong. For instance, the first three cutscenes resonate Chinese philosophy, while the fourth cutscene relates to an universal
theme of love.
