A 2D platformer called Wukong Sun: Black Legend has appeared on the Nintendo online store with a December 26 launch date, and observers are already calling it a ripoff of the award-winning Black Myth: Wukong. The listing, published by developer-publisher Global Game Studio, describes the game as a Journey to the West–inspired action platformer starring the Monkey King. Its promotional art and protagonist strongly resemble those of Game Science’s blockbuster, prompting accusations of a cash-in rather than coincidence.

Suspicious Similarities

The store description reads: “Embark on an epic Journey to the West in Wukong Sun: Black Legend! Step into the role of the immortal Wukong, the legendary Monkey King, as he battles through a chaotic world teeming with powerful monsters and untold dangers.” While the core story—the Monkey King’s adventures—is drawn from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West and alone does not prove copying, the naming and visual styling are harder to dismiss. Black Myth: Wukong won both Player’s Voice and Best Action Game at the Game Awards, making it an obvious template for imitators. The cover art for Wukong Sun: Black Legend shows a monkey figure with a nearly identical hairstyle and stance, a detail that has fueled skepticism online.

A Pattern of Imitation

Global Game Studio has published five titles on the Nintendo store since October, all of which appear to follow other popular games in design and theme. The studio’s track record suggests a deliberate strategy of leveraging established hits rather than developing original concepts. Social-media users on Weibo, as reported by Business Insider, have called for the removal of Wukong Sun: Black Legend, with comments such as “Since Nintendo has removed pirated games from its shelves, this should also be removed.” Another user wrote, “The stunning ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ has actually been copied! This really makes you speechless.”

Whether Wukong Sun: Black Legend was hastily assembled to ride Black Myth’s coattails or merely rebranded midway through development is unclear. What is clear is that the listing has reignited debates about the boundaries between inspiration and imitation on digital storefronts. With the game set to launch in less than two weeks, Nintendo faces pressure from players to scrutinize not just this title but the studio behind it.
