Publisher Meridiem Games announced that the third-person action-adventure game The Crown of Wu will be launching as a special boxed Legend Edition on PlayStation 5 in Q1 2023.

Developed by Red Mountain, the game is inspired by the Classic Chinese Novel: Journey to the West, the story of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

The Crown of Wu – Legend Edition will include a set of stunning art postcards and an introduction letter from the protagonist, Wu, all packaged in a specially designed case with exclusive game artwork.

“The Crown of Wu narrates the adventures of Wu, a half-monkey, half-human, who after once being the emperor’s herald, began to behave in a chaotic manner due to the use of a crown that gave him extraordinary powers”.

“Eventually, his crimes and atrocities led him to be captured and condemned to a harsh punishment; being frozen in a bio-static solution. After dozens of years spent almost conscious yet immobile, Wu manages to free himself from his prison and discovers a decadent world in ruins. Moreover, his crown has been stolen and is being used to provoke a vibration that will eventually lead to a gigantic explosion and, with it, leads to extinction. Wu must recover his stolen crown and help those he once punished, in order to save the world and redeem himself to finally find peace. Wu’s crown must be found”!

The game will be published in Asia on PC, PS4, and PS5 by Ripples Asia. You can add it to your wishlist now on the  PlayStation Store and Steam.
