Thanks so much for the support from all of you. Our team will continue on the game development. Also the community contributions (subtitles) just turned ON for this video. Thanks again!

The game got its basis from actual myths and gave it a inspiration to create this gorgeous looking game. Here are some some fun facts about this video if you are not familiar with eastern culture: Journey to the West (which this game is based on) is also is a classic novel in Chinese mythology. It focuses on the adventure of one of the main character, "Sun Wukong" in the novel. His mischievous acts of going to Heaven and causing trouble made Buddha punish him by trapping him in a mountain for 500 years. He was released after he promised to help a Buddhist monk go from China to India to obtain Buddhist holy books. On their journey, they face many obstacles (novel says 9*9=81, that is, 81 obstacles) and have many adventures. Also *Sun Wukong* in the West often called *Monkey King* (Son Goku in Japanese, hello DBZ fans!) or simply Monkey (Saru in Japanese), is a main character, he is The Great Sage and his power is equal to heavens and he is a prominent cultural and folkloric figure across Asia. * 1:40 - This flying cicada is actually Wukong’s Master who is known as "Golden Cicada" (金蝉子) - or this transformation tecnique performed and learnt by Wukong from his master into becoming Cicada to wander around without enemy noticing his presence. This monk is the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, a disciple of the Buddha too lazy to work to achieve enlightenment so much to fall asleep during a sermon, so he is forced to reincarnate many times to become Tripitaka (Xuanzang is his actual name and he is refered to as Tripitaka which is his name in English version of the story and it is a traditional honorific for a Buddhist monk). Being him an important character makes him extremely attractive for all the demons he encounters on his way (as we see in the video that he is attacked or searched by Youkai in the video), as it was believed that eating his flesh made the demon become immortal. This monk is also protected by Wukong when he was the right hand of Buddha. * 2:23 - One of Wukong's abilities is the paralysis (body freezing) spell * 3:28 - This isn't related to the myth, but it's fun to note that most of the Monkey Staff attacks are based on actual Shaolin Kung Fu. One of which you climb the staff (obviously the game exaggerates tho). Also his trademark staff (called 金箍棒 （jin gu bang）) is one of the magical pillars of the Ocean Dragon's Palace. It's a divine pole that works to stable the sea. He eventually took it which really causes a havoc in the early days before he was punished. * 3:51 - One of Wukong's abilities is the barrier (protective circle) spell * 4:04 - In the legend Wukong pulls his staff from his fur/ear... so him "sheathing" the lance in his fur/ear seems like a reference to that * 4:20 - That monster looks like Ayakashi (鬼怪) or also known as Yokai which is a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons from Japanese folklore. They are eclectically from the malevolent to the mischievous, or occasionally bring good fortune to those who encounter them. * 4:45 - Shows an Earth God (there are many) * 6:37 - In the legend Wukong is capable of tranforming into a giant and scary version of himself. This is possibly a reference to that, despite being much smaller. Wukong have 72 transformations in general, so whatever transformation u see in this video is base on that. Wukong has 5 types of immortality too. The one he learned his transformations, skills and magic from 须菩提, or subhuti (Master Puti/the Master of the Sun). He became immortal when he crossed his name out of hell’s archives, then he hate the immortal peaches, and then he drank the immortal wine, and finally he ate the immortal pills. So yeah, Wukong is basically immortal. * 8:52 - One of Wukong's abilities is transforming his hairs into clones of himself, like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu from Naruto universe. * 9:11 - Wukong is often seen taking the appearance of others. Usually it's used to trick his enemies but in this case it seems devs change it to also get the powers of the one he defeated at around 2:51 * 10:37 - The guy that stops you (the player) is actually Sun Wukong (with the classic metal armor and headpiece with the 2 giant feathers). This is quite a plot twist since we we're led to believe we we're Wukong up until now. And also the five shining characters on the golden staff that block player's attack is "如意金箍棒" ( Ruyi Jingu Bang as i mentioned above), implied that it's the real legendary weapon which wielded by Sun Wukong in the novel. * 11:09 - Wukong is forced to wear a circlet that would cause him extremes headaches. I remember reading in wiki but can't remember if it was done by the Buddha in order to restrain him while he accompanies the monk in his journey to west or as a trick by the Dragon King in retaliation for forcing the Dragon King to gift him weapons. Edit: According to @TheWowWow88, The circlet was granted by Guan Yin to Tripitaka to control Wukong (prevent him from any misdeeds) during his journey. * 11:16 - If you pause at 11:17 you can see a glimpse of "Sha Wujing", also known as Sha Heshang is one of the main protagonists in the 1592 Chinese classic novel Journey to the West by the late Wu Cheng'en, and its multiple adaptations. He is the one who carries the luggages for all Xuanzang's (Tripitaka in many English versions of the story as mentioned before) party. * 11:20 - The next scene, I believe it is 黄袍怪 (huang pao guai), who was 奎木狼(kui mu lang), one of the 28 Stars. He fell in love with a girl so he went away with her to the human world. I saw a wolf status standing in the room so I think I am right. * 11:23 - This is a very famous monster called 白骨精(bai gu jing), and this is its real shape. In the fiction, Bai gu jing showed 3 times. Once was the shape of a girl, the second time was an old woman, and the third time was an old man, but was beaten by Wukong every time. * 11:30 - This is Lei Shen, the God of Thunder * 11:34 - That might being is Bird God Garuda and is probably one of the most powerful characters in the fiction. He is the son of Phoenix, and he has a sister, a peacock, who is the Mahamayuri, Buddha's mother. He appeared in 狮驼岭(shi tuo ling), as the 3rd king. (1st king is a lion, 2nd is a white elephant.) * 11:38 - This is Juling Shen, a gigant River God * 11:44 - These are the Four Heavenly Kings, the Buddhist protective deities * 11:49 - The classic "flying cloud" and we see the dragon flies through the sky which might be Bai Longma, a dragon prince son of the "Dragon King of the West Sea" * 11:52 - In the legend, Wukong actually invades the heavens, basically beating every god single-handedly and it seems like we'll get to play this part too which is really awesome! Also, the game didn't really show off just how strong the Ruyi Jingu Bang (monkey staff) is and we can only get to see how it can change size as big as sweeping everyone around him. PS: Those armies that he is trying to defeat in this part are the Heavenly Soldiers. The soldiers that protect the heaven. That's the all the references i got from this teaser like i might skipped some of them but if you see any more references then let me know below, i will edit this message accordingly. Edit: Also, the music at the end of the clip is the iconic theme of the extremely famous "Journey to the West" series in China(by "TheWowWow88"). And here i thought why those tunes sounded so familiar which gave me so much goosebumps! Edit2: It's about other guy that stops Wukong in the video (by Xniper) that i'd like to also share his comment here too: "i think that we are sun wukong, the other guy is the imposter Six Eared Macaque, and im pretty sure that he didnt killed the real wukong. He's more like the counterpart of the same wukong, his evilness, his dark side taking part on the story trying to deceive everyone showing that he is the most powerful one to consume everything and transform himself in that god title thing that the real wukong wanted to achieve, but to control everything as a god, the most powerful and not a benevolent one. When he killed Six Eared Macaque, he change his personality because he was at peace now, he won againts his darkness and grew from the inside, it cleaned his soul confronting his evilness. I dont think that Six Eared Macaque took his position, it is more like a metaphor between his true self VS the self that could have been with his dark emotions and ambitions". EDIT 3: Another fun fact to be mentioned by "Wshch 01": The Black Wind Mountain(黑风山 hei feng shan) where this trailer took place was in the original novel. When Wukong and Sanzang got here the first time. They spent one night in the temple. The monks there tried to burn down the temple together with Wukong and Sanzang to rob Sanzang's precious kasaya(buddha cloth). This is the fire that the earth god was referring. The Black Bear spirit came from his cave to help with the fire(surprisingly he is not bad), but got greedy and took the kasaya for his coming Birthday in two days. Wukong found out about the theft as well as the upcoming Birthday party(Lingxuzi, the wolf boss was invited as a close friend). However, the black bear spirit was scared of him and hid in his cave. Wukong then called Guanyin for help (given this temple is built for Guanyin). They met Lingxuzi on the way to the cave and Wukong killed him in one hit(lol, literally what happened, dunno how he came back to life in the game). Guanyin transformed into Lingxuzi and Wukong transformed into a gift pill (supposed to lengthen one's life by 1000 years). The black bear spirit took the pill and got rekt by Wukong. He was then taken away by Guanyin to guard one of his Mountain.

Hello everyone, we finally added our official KZfaq CC. Thanks to Mr. Siyang Gao, the translator of Discworld. He helped us to polish and revise our in-game translation. So the subtitles are a bit different from in-game ones. Please do not feel confused. Thanks!

Take note so-called "Triple A" companies, this is what you are SUPPOSE TO SHOW when revealing a game... ACTUAL GAMEPLAY, NOT SCRIPTED CG!

When you're a kid, there's a special kind of awestruck that you get when you see something cool that you've never seen anything like before. As an adult, it can feel like you'll never feel this sense of infatuation ever again. I'd like to thank the makers of this for reminding me that I can still feel a sense of wonder even at my age.

This is one of the best trailers I've seen in a while. Incredible job

12:40 dear god that music, instantly recognizable and brings back so many memories.

It is about time the Chinese get their ancient myths and folklore into the gaming world...

The first ever gameplay for an upcoming game being 13 minutes of PURE gameplay for the game the developers want to sell?! Be still my swooning heart! And the gameplay is sick as fuck too?! To any of the devs that can read english here, can we get a version of this trailer with english subs? I'm suddenly SUPER excited for this game. Can't wait to hear about what platforms this game will be for and, hopefully, western release.

Finally, Chinese developers is on the rise with our native stories, we have so many good tales to share

Me when the big wolfy dude comes leaping over the roof: He's so fluffy!

12:40 this tradition OST kicks in, and nostalgia feeling float all around audience mind. 1986 famous theme song of Journey to the West.

Martial arts combat? ✅ Chinese mythology and lore? ✅ Big monsters? ✅ Beautiful visuals and music? ✅ My interest is piqued!

This looks incredible. How is this made by an indie studio? My gods. The talent on this team. I can't wait for a release in europe!

I can't believe people are disliking this trailer in any way, this is AMAZING!!!!

I'm so glad I've only just recently become interested in this because it's out in 2 months which means i don't have to wait too long.

Wukong: the original "Shadow Clone" user, but using his hair

WTF is this game?!?!?!?!?! I NEED IT O_O

the music of 12:41 is a song of the first edition of Journey to the West TV series published in 1986. THE ABSOLUTE PUNCHLINE!

Love how the monster shakes its fur off of the flames at 9:48. It's the little things that make a game immersive

Never ever has any game trailer ever made me sit here with mouth hanging open, gasping with awe like this did. Goosebumps! The character design, the details in the environment, the fantasy realism, the combat, the weapons and abilities, all of it blows many games out of the water. This looks beyond incredible and I am excited for it to come out. Holy cow.

Damnn. The combat system is good, the voice actor is on point too

I dunno how many times I watched this trailer since yesterday. I'm super impressed by your work. It feels like you put everything you have in it, heart and soul. I'm gonna read the books while waiting for the game.

2 more months guys

在国外生活了20年， 当我听到 12:40 的曲子，太怀念了，好像我在放学后回家看西游的感觉

dude, at 9:45 the giant beast got caught on fire, and then literally shook off the ailment status... That's a gorgeous level of detail in gameplay and animation

That ending song...damn, so much nostalgia 😭

Amazing game! Don't let Baby inc ruin it! We support you!

Absolutely incredible, trailer genuinely looks like the first next generation game out there. I hope you guys are able to release this game to the rest of the world.

This game got me more excited than ANYTHING shown at Sony and Microsoft's conference weeks ago!

This looks fun as hell, and I'm am incredibly impressed with the sound design. When the fire rushes past wu kong, everything gets louder and you hear the crackling. It was very pleasant to hear :3

The character design is stunning

This demo just made my day

Looks really good. Hope the studio can maintain the same quality of the trailer in the final game.

I’ve not felt this way after watching a game reveal in a very long time!! Thank you!! Can’t wait!!

Absolutely amazing. One of the most impressive gaming reveals I’ve ever seen.

Holy crap, this looks awesome. I can't believe that this is an indie game and it already looks so much better than ~90% of the AAA games that we get these days. Black Myth, I don't feel like this often these days anymore, but you managed to win me over ! This is already one of my most anticipated upcoming games and please, please take your time making it ! edit. It seems that I've been misinformed and that this isn't an indie game after all. My apologies for spreading false information. But the game still looks far better than the ~90% of the AAA games that we keep getting these days.

O.O i didn't think it was ever possible to put Sun Wukong in a game without watering his legend down...i have been proven wrong...THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE! XD

They did a damn good job with his transformation magics. Love this.

Good luck, Game Science Studio! This gameplay looks great!

DEVELOPERS: PLEASE include chinese speech in a western release if we are lucky enough to get it. Your language is so beautiful! The game looks great as well, I will be following it eagerly. Greets from Scandinavia :D

Omggg,that outro ending music makes me hypeeeee,all reminds my childhood

This looks amazing, please keep on the good work. Can't wait to play this !

Watching the highly anticipated "next-gen" Halo reveal followed by witnessing this surprise drop: *This... this is next-gen.*

When a game looks so good that the warning in beginning that says its not representative of what the final build will be and you say to yourself God damn I hope it looks this good

China didn't go home, they went absolute big holy heck This looks amazing

8:54 - this moment got me for real. The sense of wonder, the sense I haven't felt in a looooooong time.

This is the best gameplay trailer I've seen in my life. Please take the time you need but release this game.

This looks absolutely increible. And the realism on that fur and how it caught fire and how the wolf creature tried to put it out.... such attention to detail. My mind is blown. The combat animations, particle effects, environment, it all looks amazing. And the transformations seem very promising!

Absolutely stunning! I patiently await it’s arrival. ❤️

This deserves so much more attention!

For anyone dont know The Journey to the West. The West here refers to ancient India. The home of Shakyamuni. Wukong protects a monk to go to ancient India to obtain the true Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures.

OMG! The last song, remind me Journey to the West (1986). My childhood :'(

The ending scene give me my childhood's goosebump feeling again! So excited !!

First time watching: WOW! 12th time watching: WOW!

This game is going to be legendary, this brings back so much childhood memories T_T

Amazing this move the player does to the boss at 10:13 is the same move the boss did to the player at 3:49

This is the most impressive next-gen game I've seen so far. Please don't screw it up.

This is amazing. Better than what most studios have revealed for next-gen. Hope you guys have a comfortable development process and hope you guys are successful.

You guys have the TV style voices on point. Looking forward to it.

Not a single dull moment from start to end. Cloth physics looks amazing and no clipping wow!

That music at the end! As an asian fellow, it brings back so many good memories. Day one purchase!

Came here from YongYea's video about this, had to come like and sub. I was engaged immediately and interested in this world and lore, I already want to partake in it. What was shown looks phenomenal! The visuals, gameplay, the music, the animations, the creature variety and design, the combat - it all looks AAA already. I have a bit of a fascination with cloud/smoke simulation in games, so this is a real treat here. Especially at then end, fighting in the clouds surrounded by enemies, and the way sweeping area attacks are swooshing the clouds around, it looks beautiful. Can't wait to see this release, but I can patiently wait until it's ready, so take as much time as needed to make it perfect. :)

Absolutely beautiful! I love everything you've shown in this trailer.

The studio used to belong to Tencent, and they led the development of Tencent's first self-developed game, which is also the theme of Journey to the West, and achieved a 90% favorable rate during the closed beta. Later, because of the development of online games with a stand-alone idea, the effect of making money was not good. Six of them set up the current studio to develop this game. It can be said that they far surpass other studios in subject matter and ability. This is why many people think they have no problems in making AAA games. On the one hand, the video demonstrated their abilities, on the other hand, it was also aimed at recruiting more people with lofty ideals.

I'm hyped for this

I can't wait to play this game! I love to see mythologies from all over the world.

This was easily more interesting than any game from Sony's or Microsoft's event.

4:07 Keeping stuff in his ear/hair! That is pretty detailed and accurate

that last soundtrack is so nostalgic.!!

This looks absolutely freaking INCREDIBLE. I cannot wait to learn more about thsi game and get my hands on it. Keep up the great work!

that last 20 seconds though. takes me back to my childhood

More gameplay shown than the entire Microsoft game showcase.

Look what happens when talented devs leave tencent

this looks insanely good! very well done guys i cant wait for this to drop.

English Subtitles: 1:46- Wolf Soldier A: Can't believe there are some wine jugs here Wonder if there's any left Wolf Soldier B: Stop Drooling! LingXu Zhenren is gonna have us both for dinner with to go with wine if we mess this up 1:58- Wolf Soldier C: Brother, I think I heard something at the mountain door Wolf Soldier D: Relax, with big brother here Whoever dares to come is looking for trouble 2:09 (Character on the right bottom corner: 猿 Yuan- Monkey) 2:13 Mountain Gang Leader: Even if those pups can't see you Don't think for a second you can get past me 2:26 (That bright sigil: 定 Ding- Freeze) 2:33 Wolf Patrol: Somebody help! A fuzzy-faced monk just broke in 2:48 Wolf Pack Patriarch: (刀狼教头 Dao-Knife Lang-Wolf) Whom do I see coming that dares to disturb my Cultivation Practice Hmmm, another monkey Why don't you drop the weapon and learn the ways of Buddhism from me How about that 3:59 (Characters next to the weapon: 拾取 Shi Qu Pick it up.) Wolf Pack Patriarch: You...Are you the one the Master talks about The..One...With...Destiny (Characters across the screen: 赤潮 Chi Chao-Red Tide 新法宝 Xin Fa Bao-New Magical Item Character added to the corner 狼 Lang-Wolf) 4:15 Quick! Follow up! (Voices from underground): Little monkey, you just disturbed the monsters here Be careful if you are going any further 4:31 (Voices from underground): Little monkey, come this way 4:40 (Voices from underground): here, right here Earth God: Little me here the Earth (God) of The Black Wind Mountain have been waiting for your arrival a long time now... (Pause) Like him... You look so much like him... Walk further down is the temple of Guanyin It has had its day Pity about the fire though The temple was rebuilt later But still, when the faith got burned out What's fixing a damn temple gonna do 5:40 Earth God: Little ol'me here is going to take off now When you passed the road ahead, we will meet again 7:04 (观音禅院 Guanyin Chan Yuan Guanyin Temple) Earth God: Shhh, be quiet Careful not to alert the big puppy there The one at the back is a friend of the Black Wind Monster Called himself LingXu Zi At your current level... Argh! Too bad... Run and hide little monkey, there is still time (Runs straight ahead) Earth God: there is no going back once you go through that door (首领 Shou Ling-Boss 灵虚子 LingXu Zi) (10:04 Cute fact-see it trying to pat away the fire but can't manage with its super-long fur which may be why the player chooses to transform and attack it with fire) English is not my first language so don't hesitate to point out any mistakes or parts that don't make much sense!

animation in this looks wild knowing how Wu Kong goes and the final montage you're gonna be crazy powerful by the end

Wow, this looks bloody amazing!!!!!

The music really started hitting when he transformed into that fire wielding wolf.

This is my childhood, watched the tv series every evening when i was in elementary school. Here in my country, Indonesia we call him Sun Go Kong. Can't wait this game to be released, hope this will come to PC too.

well, now Elden Ring HAS to show itself

I remember listening to the story of JttW as a kid. I was awed by the myths, the story, the fantastic abilities and creatures. And this makes me feel like that little kid again.

Wow holy shit this looks incredible. Keep doing you guys, excited to experience your full vision someday.

Now this is what I call a game , 2 months to go 😫🙌🏾

This looks sick. I also love the fact that he kills that first "boss" gets his weapon after he dies and can transform into him later.

Amazing!!! This is my dream game! Please optimize for PC. Thanks Team a lot!

That's an absolute legendary game experience.... Story telling.... Assuming this would be the game of its kind.... True master piece... Thanks to the development team for their work 🌹❤️

Thank you for putting the classic Journey to the West theme song at the end.

感谢杨奇老师，这样的作品才能承载文化输出，想点10000个赞。

Thanks for making my childhood dream become ultra supa realistic

Epic: look how good our Unreal Engine demo is Chinese indie dev: hold my chopsticks 🥢

Thank you so much for this glimpse, I hope you get all the recruits and resources you need to pursuit your dreams and achieve truly something with commitment and effort, that will put your studio on the world stage. I grew up with this lore before dragon ball. So this means a lot to me and I guess the same goes for the kids of my time. Best of luck and thank you for giving your all and doing your best. Lots of love!

Amazing doesn't even begin to describe how this game is looking to be.

This looks genuinely amazing, im excited!

I'm stunned. Think I was waiting such a game deep in my heart since my parents give me my first picture book about birth of Sun Wukong from the stone in middle of 80s. Greets from Russia!

Thats awsome Great "Good lock" Seems a MASTERPIECE

Dang I'm blown away the last game that did this for me was Asura's Wrath this is going to be one awesome game.

The video had a million hits in just two hours on BiliBili, but only 2000 on KZfaq. Please forward more

Keep up the great work. This game looks amazing in every regard

Okay this looks incredible, I'm definitely subbing for more info on this game
