Black Myth: Wukong Gets Special-Edition 8BitDo Wireless Controller, Available Now For $35

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Black Myth: Wukong is a game I’ve been eagerly anticipating. The prospect of a new souls-like action game is always exciting, and the collaboration between Game Science and 8BitDo for an officially licensed controller just adds to the hype.


Tonight, August 19th, Game Science releases their souls-like action game, Black Myth: Wukong. If you haven’t preordered yet, there’s still a chance to grab some bonuses and discounted Steam keys at Fanatical. For those who prefer playing with a controller, it’s worth checking out the 8BitDo officially licensed Black Myth: Wukong controller. This unexpected partnership gives the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller an eye-catching (transparent!) redesign. You can get the wireless version for $35 or the wired one for $25. Although you’ll pay a small additional fee compared to regular Ultimate 2C controllers, many agree that it’s the best choice in this affordable price range.

One potential rephrase could be: There’s a drawback to consider – the ordered items won’t likely reach you until the weekend, which means you might embark on your trip without the themed controller.

If you’re looking to pick up the hot new action-RPG, you can score a pretty decent 10% discount on Black Myth: Wukong for PC, over at Fanatical. The deal drops the standard edition to $54 and the digital deluxe edition to $63.

  • Black Myth: Wukong (Standard Edition) — $54 ($60)
  • Black Myth Wukong (Digital Deluxe Edition) — $63 ($70)

In Richard Wakeling’s review for TopMob’s Black Myth: Wukong, he notes that the game often transitions from one challenging boss battle to another, and it is during these complex skirmishes where Black Myth truly excels. However, the periods in between these encounters can feel less engaging, occasionally slipping into monotonous boredom. Yet, the game’s captivating combat system and diverse range of boss fights generally succeed in overcoming these shortcomings.

8BitDo Ultimate 2C vs. Ultimate Controller

The Ultimate 2C is the budget version of 8BitDo’s flagship Ultimate controller, which is our pick for the best PC controller in 2024. The Ultimate supports three custom profiles and offers handy internal customization settings via 8BitDo’s app, including macro support, full button mapping, adjustable trigger and rumble sensitivity, and analog stick stick deadzones. The Ultimate has a pair of remappable back buttons, whereas the Ultimate 2C’s extra buttons are on top next to the triggers. In addition to the controller, you get a charging stand with a compartment to store the dongle.
