There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the release of Black Myth: Wukong from Game Science and now you can get your hands on a game-themed graphics card to play it on (well, if you’re in China). Zotac has announced the release of a custom RTX 4070 Super adorned with an image of the game’s protagonist “the Destined One”.
If you’re into custom PC build then this graphics card could be for you. Zotac cards are well regarded among gamers and this particular model will pack a punch in modern AAA games such as Black Myth: Wukong itself. Unfortunately for most of us, this particular graphics card is being launched in China, and as of yet, Zotac has announced no plans for a wider release.
Black Myth: Wukong RTX 4070 SUPER
This bit of kit isn’t a completely new card as it is based on Zotac’s pre-existing Trinity design but a snazzy exterior design is often enough to persuade even the most cold-hearted fans into parting with their hard-earned cash!
The RTX 4070 Super Wukong boasts a 2.5-slot design and three fans of the aforementioned Trinity design. It’s based upon the AD104-350 GPU and features 7,168 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6 memory.
The main draw of this card is of course the gorgeous new backplate which features an image of the Destined One, Black Myth: Wukong’s protagonist.
Is Black Myth: Wukong worth it?
Black Myth: Wukong is an ambitious action RPG published by Chinese developer Game Science and despite controversies surrounding the company, the early reviews of the game have been very positive – breaking preload records on Steam, and player numbers for a singleplayer game at launch.
Despite superficially looking like a Soulslike it’s clear that Black Myth: Wukong is not that. Its combat is more forgiving, allowing you to stay in the action whilst also delivering a level of satisfaction when you overcome a challenging boss.
The game is based on the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West and its protagonist the Destined One is a reimagining of Sun Wukong one of the novel’s key characters. If fun action gameplay combined with historical Chinese literature sounds like your thing, then Black Myth: Wukong could well be worth picking up.
