Part 4/8:
Leading up to the launch, Black Myth Wukong faced critical attack pieces from outlets like Screen Rant and IGN. The primary criticism centered around claims that the game lacked diversity and inclusion, accusations that were highlighted in a now-debunked article from November of the previous year. Critics argued that the game was sexist and misogynistic, citing supposed absence of female characters or stereotypes, and used these points to call for a boycott or to discourage support.
