On the evening of May 20, a story about Black Myth: Monkey King spread in the player community, saying that "according to the foreign uncle party, there are 160 kinds of enemies in this work, including 80 BOSS. The game has multiple endings, and the difficulty is simpler than the common soul games..."
For relatively senior players, of course, this story is not very credible, which is equivalent to saying nothing. However, because Black Myth: Wukong has attracted too much attention, many passers-by still believe it. They regard this story as a hammer that "Black Myth has a huge size and has exploded the existing products on the market", and started champagne early.
Believe or not But its source and transmission path may be more dramatic than the content contained in this message.
Lunatic Ignus, the foreign uncle party who initially spread these news, has only 500 followers on his Twitter account. At present, his exposed tweet has received 510000 views and more than 4000 likes - the news released by the official Twitter of Black Myth: Wukong is not even so popular.
However, if you carefully read the revelations of Lunatic Ignus in the past, you will find that the so-called uncle party is not so reliable.
In February this year, he disclosed that the DEMO of "Dragon's Creed 2" would be released on Friday (March 1). Later, he claimed that the information he received was wrong and misled everyone.
Dragon Creed 2 did release the demo, but it was on March 8 Also in February, Lunatic Ignus also released a piece of news about Black Myth: Wukong. However, this foreign uncle's party just turned over the chat records of domestic QQ groups, which is not like an insider who has mastered first-hand information.
It is obvious that Lunatic Ignus is not a genuine uncle party, but just takes the rumors of players as a source of information. In essence, Lunatic Ignus is no different from ordinary netizens in China. Maybe he is hiding in a QQ group related to Black Myth: Wukong to watch everyone chat.
In fact, his exposure this time was indeed traced back to the source - from the QQ group of the post bar.
After the rumor that "Black Myth: Monkey King" has more than 80 BOSS "spread, Lorenzo, the bar owner of the Black Myth Bar, came forward and said that this story was boasted by a group friend in the QQ group, Lunatic Ignus sent a tweet with the content of his friends, and domestic netizens and media took his tweet as an exposure of his uncle party. Finally, there was such a standard case of export to domestic sales.
The next day, the party sent a post clarifying that 80 kinds of BOSS statements were just conjectured by several people in the group in December of last year, and then somehow they were spread.
It is not improper for players to privately speculate about the size of the game, but if rumors are spread as a hammer, the expectations of passers-by players are infinitely raised, and when the game is officially launched, it will be traced back to "there are no 80 Bosses at all", it will inevitably be innocent.
We have seen enough scripts that we expect and disappoint without authorization. Anyway, there are only three months left until August 20. Let's calm down and wait for the game release.
