Everything you need to know about Black Myth: Wukong’s latest update, version 1.0.12.16581, including the patch notes, bug fixes, and more.
Black Myth: Wukong’s latest update, version 1.0.12.16581, is now live on PC and PS5. Much like the previous major title updates, 1.0.12.16581 comes packed with fixes and stability improvements, mostly geared toward the PC version. However, this time around, the highlights of the patch aren’t the fixes but the new additions. With version 1.0.12.16581, developer Game Science has finally added a new game mode (DLC) to the game, alongside a host of additional in-game rewards. The newly added game mode is called Challenge and is accessible via the Keeper’s Shrine. Challenge is essentially a boss rush mode, akin to the Gauntlets in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
The update also adds new armor pieces and combat gear (Curios, Drinks and Soaks, Weapons, etc.), but only as part of the Challenge mode. Here’s a list of all the changes made to Black Myth: Wukong with title update 1.0.12.16581.
