Game Science’s upcoming action RPG, Black Myth: Wukong, is set to be bundled with GeForce RTX 40 Series items upon purchase from selected retailers. NVIDIA disclosed the collaboration with the Chinese game developer today, indicating that buyers of qualifying products from specific retail outlets and online sellers – which include GeForce RTX 4090, 4080 SUPER, 4080, 4070 Ti SUPER, 4070 Ti, 4070 SUPER, and 4070 graphics cards, along with desktop PCs and laptops equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, or RTX 4070 Laptop GPU – will receive a Steam game code for Black Myth: Wukong upon its release on August 20. The complete list of eligible partners in different countries can be found on the dedicated webpage.
Based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong stands out as one of this year’s most eagerly awaited games. Players will embody the monkey protagonist named Destined One, inspired by the novel’s character Sun Wukong, who can wield the Ruyi Jingu Bang staff and utilize various abilities and spells, including transformative powers. Utilizing Unreal Engine 5, the game will offer comprehensive ray tracing (specifically path tracing), water caustics, and DLSS 3.5 (comprising Super Resolution, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction). For system requirements, refer to an earlier report. It remains uncertain whether Black Myth: Wukong will be accessible via GeForce NOW; however, PlayStation 5 users can anticipate it, with an Xbox Series S|X version planned for a later release after a delay.
Noteworthy in NVIDIA’s recent updates is the enhancement of DLSS in the free-to-play game Wuthering Waves. Apart from the existing DLSS Super Resolution, holders of GeForce RTX 40 Series devices will soon have access to activate DLSS Frame Generation as well, offering a notable performance enhancement. While Wuthering Waves is not excessively demanding on PC hardware and is also intended for Android and iOS devices, this upgrade is set to refine user experience significantly.
Furthermore, the indie games Bears in Space and The Black Pool have recently embraced DLSS Frame Generation as part of their gameplay improvements. The integration of advanced technologies like DLSS underscores NVIDIA’s commitment to enhancing gaming experiences and optimizing performance across a spectrum of titles.
