Chinese game developer Game Science has announced that the standard PC edition of Black Myth: Wukong will launch in China on August 26 at a price of RMB 268 ($38). Based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West, the highly anticipated action game is widely seen as having the potential to be the very first AAA title from a Chinese developer. The price, which supports refunds, cloud saves, controllers, and does not include in-game purchases, according to the information on the game page, has therefore been met with a generally positive reaction from Chinese gamers on social media, with some even suggesting that the game feels underpriced. Judging by comments on Chinese social media, most players in China are hoping the game becomes a big critical and commercial success. [Game Science Weibo, in Chinese]
