Black Myth: Wukong PS5 Patch Adds Challenge Mode, Maps, Free Armour

Game Science is pushing a new Black Myth: Wukong update for PS5 live today that includes a challenge mode, new in-game maps, and free armour pieces for the popular action title. It'll be rolled out within the next 24 hours, updating the game to version number 1.0.12.16581.

The challenge mode takes the form of the Keeper's Shrine, which unlocks once you've beaten the game. You'll be able to fight fallen bosses in the Return of Rivals across three difficulty modes, while Gauntlet of Legends pits you against multiple enemies at once and curses that impact the difficulty. For overcoming these challenges, you shall earn new weapons and equipment.

Another big addition is Journeyer's Charts, which are essentially in-game maps. The title lacked a map, which made navigation within its chapters a little more difficult than expected. Now, after downloading the patch, you can pick up Journeyer's Charts from shrines as you enter new territories.

Then, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, four new armour pieces can be picked up from any Keeper's Shrine under the "Trailblazer's Gift" tab. The update also works on fixing various glitches and bugs, as well as performance issues. You can view the full patch notes through the link.
