Black Myth: Wukong may have its fair share of controversy, mainly due to the developers, however, it’s still regarded as a brilliant game.

As such, it’ll make gamers still testing their mettle against its many bosses pleased to know that a new update is available.

This latest free patch is huge.

It’s so massive, in fact, that we’re only going to share some of the details before allowing you to read the full patch notes at your leisure.

The biggest change to the game is a boss rush challenge mode, a feature that’s been in high demand since the game launched in August.

‘Challenge’ can be found at the Keeper’s Shrine upon completing the game for the first time.

Two options await you there, both of which require you to be a skilled warrior.

Don't say we didn’t warn you.

You can either battle past foes or you can fight for your life as waves of enemies attack in quick succession.

Here’s the overview in full:

New Gameplay: Challenge

"It's tough to confront the old rivals anew, but the Great Sage will always prevail!"
After completing the game at least once, the Destined One can find "Challenge" at any Keeper's Shrine.
There are two types of challenge available: "Return of Rivals" and "Gauntlet of Legends".

Return of Rivals

The Destined One can challenge a former opponent to a duel, choosing from three levels of difficulty.
If any opponents remain undefeated in the main game, the corresponding rebattle will be unavailable.

Gauntlet of Legends

The Destined One can battle against multiple opponents in succession, using customised curses to tailor the difficulty.
This mode can be difficult, as some old opponents may surprise with new moves. Proceed with caution!
If any opponents remain undefeated in the main game, the related gauntlet will be unavailable.
Completing any gauntlet rewards players with new rare treasures.
Medicine: "Glimmering Scale Pellets" and its formula;
Drink and Soaks: "Sour Wine", "Frost-Enduring Chrysanth", and "Robust Antler";
Curios: "Stone Tiger Tally", "Ever-Burning Palace Lantern", and "Fragment of the Ocean-Settling Pillar";
