Meridiem Games and Red Mountain have announced that The Crown of Wu is coming to PC and consoles in winter 2022. The action-adventure game is inspired by a classic Chinese novel about the Monkey King. Players are invited to wishlist the game on Steam for PC and the PlayStation Store.
The game puts players in the shoes of Wu, a half-human, half-monkey individual. After obtaining a crown that gives him “extraordinary powers,” he discovers that it also corrupts the heart. After committing crimes and atrocities, he is frozen for decades. Eventually, he escapes to find his crown stolen and the world in chaos. His job is now to help those he once provoked and to recover his stolen crown. Ultimately, Wu must save the world.
Features include:
- The game world – Immerse yourself in a great land that is both ancient and new. Inspired by Chinese mythology and created to tell a new story of Sun’s journey from anti-hero to hero, this is a world where legend meets reality.
- Attributes and abilities – Harness the powers of air, fire, earth and lightning. Each of your powers gives you a way to work with the environment or against your enemies. Attack with Air, Fire and Lightning. Defend with Earth. Summon your powers to defeat enemies and cross dangerous chasms.
- Combat System – Discover a fresh and simple combat system that grants you incremental powers as you travel through this terrible land to solve the mystery of the stolen Crown. Get ready to jump, run and parkour your way through this new world as you solve intricate puzzles and overcome increasingly complex trials as you progress through the levels.
