Black Myth: Wukong Gives Steam Keys, Bans Covid and Feminism

The marketing team for Black Myth: Wukong has faced backlash after distributing guidelines to content creators promoting the game. Alongside providing Steam keys for the upcoming release, the team advised against discussing sensitive topics like "feminist propaganda," COVID-19, or China's game industry policies. These instructions list one key "Do"—to simply enjoy the game—while detailing five "Don’ts" that discourage offensive language, political content, and other potentially contentious subjects. The unusual nature of these restrictions has raised concerns, especially given the previous scrutiny over the studio’s founders' comments. Black Myth: Wukong is eagerly anticipated, and despite controversy, it aims to captivate players with its fascinating world and exhilarating gameplay.

The guidelines advise content creators to avoid using offensive language, discussing politics, mentioning COVID-19, or referring to feminist propaganda, among other prohibitions. The only encouragement is to simply enjoy the game.

Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG developed by Game Science, which has captured significant attention for its stunning visuals and engaging combat mechanics inspired by Chinese mythology. The game is set to release on various platforms, including PC, with a focus on delivering an immersive experience that blends traditional storytelling with modern gameplay elements.
