Black Myth: Wukong takes home Outstanding Art Direction and Surprise of the Year at The Smash Jump Awards

Alongside snagging Best Action Adventure, Game Science’s Black Myth: Wukong snags the Outstanding Art Direction award and the Surprise of the Year.

This year’s competition in the Outstanding Art Direction category included Astro Bot, Animal Well, Promenade, and Thank Goodness You’re Here!, but in the end, it came out on top. Meanwhile, in Surprise of the Year, we had Balatro, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Helldivers 2, and Palworld.

In our review we said: “Black Myth: Wukong is a technical feat that deserves attention. Not only does it deliver on outstanding graphical settings, it also sends players to different locations and environments that all look just as stunning as the last.”
