Criticism Grows Over Wukong Sun Copycat Game

The upcoming release of Wukong Sun: Black Legend on the Nintendo Switch has ignited controversy among gamers, as it is perceived as a blatant imitation of the successful Black Myth: Wukong. Scheduled to launch on December 26, 2024, for $7.99, this 2D side-scrolling platformer has drawn ire for its similar title and promotional art, leading many to accuse it of being a cash grab. Chinese fans have expressed their frustration on social media, calling out 'malicious developers' for exploiting well-known games' names to deceive consumers. This incident follows a trend of copycat games on digital storefronts, prompting calls for better quality control from platform holders like Nintendo. As the debate continues, concerns grow about the prevalence of shovelware on the eShop and its impact on the gaming community. Despite the similarities, Wukong Sun: Black Legend offers a distinct gameplay experience, differing from the 3D action of Black Myth: Wukong.
