Black Myth: Wukong is shattering records and receiving rave reviews from gamers worldwide. According to a report by Reuters, the game was developed by a Chinese startup, Game Science, and is based on the novel Journey to the West. The game's protagonist is the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

In the game, players embark on a journey as Sun Wukong, battling bosses to progress. In a surprising and exciting development making rounds on social media, a Chinese company has offered its employees a day off to play Black Myth: Wukong.

The popular news handle Dexerto shared a translated notice from a Chinese company, Chengdu Science and Technology, which issued a memo to all its employees. The company is giving employees a day off to enjoy Black Myth: Wukong on its release date, August 20th, 2024.

However, there’s a catch: Chengdu Science and Technology employees must meet certain criteria to qualify for the day off. Employees who have pre-ordered Black Myth: Wukong or have used the game’s PC benchmark tool to test performance are eligible. They must submit proof of this to HR.

The notice even humorously warns Xbox users not to attempt to deceive the company, as the game will be released on Xbox at a later date. Fans have been sharing their reactions to the news, which has gone viral worldwide.

X-Box gamers wonder if the Black Myth game will be released on X-Box. Originally, Game Science announced they would release the game on PC, PS5, and Xbox simultaneously, but at Summer Game Fest 2024, the company revealed that the Xbox version would be released later.

The company has not stated the reason behind the delay, and the Xbox release date will be revealed soon. Here are the dates when the game was released in different parts of the world.
