Nintendo eShop Lists Game Accused of Copying 'Black Myth: Wukong'

The 2D platformer 'Wukong Sun: Black Legend' has drawn criticism for its similarities to the blockbuster action RPG, sparking debate over imitation in gaming.

'Wukong Sun: Black Legend,' developed by Global Game Studio, is set to release on December 26, 2024, on the Nintendo Switch for $7.99.
The game is a 2D side-scroller inspired by Chinese mythology, sharing thematic and visual similarities with Game Science's 3D action RPG 'Black Myth: Wukong.'
Critics and social media users in China have labeled the game a knock-off, with its title, promotional art, and description closely resembling 'Black Myth: Wukong.'
Nintendo has not commented on the controversy, and the developer has faced accusations of exploiting popular titles to mislead consumers.
'Black Myth: Wukong,' released earlier this year, has sold over 20 million copies and is celebrated as China's first major AAA gaming success.
