Black Myth: Wukong's First Post-Launch Addition Is Clear

Key Takeaways

  • Black Myth: Wukong has numerous intricate armor sets with unique designs and benefits for players to craft.
  • The absence of a transmog feature in Black Myth: Wukong is surprising, given the abundance of armor sets available.
  • A transmog option would be a logical addition, especially if more armor sets are planned for future updates.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Black Myth: Wukong has captured my heart and my imagination with its stunning visuals and intricate gameplay mechanics. The attention to detail in every aspect of this game is truly astounding, from the environments to the boss designs, and most certainly the armor sets.


Wukong boasts stunning visuals with exceptional attention to detail in its settings, textures, bosses, and characters. This level of artistry extends to the armor sets within the game, each one more complex than the last. Given the numerous armor sets players can craft and the lack of a transmogrification (transmog) option, it’s surprising that players can’t wear the look of an armor set without giving up the advantages provided by the best armor in the game. Consequently, the first post-release update for Black Myth: Wukong seems to be a clear indication that it needs a transmog option.

In games with an array of cosmetic items, Transmogrification (often abbreviated as Transmog) has gained popularity because it enables players to alter their character’s appearance without affecting gameplay mechanics. FromSoftware’s Souls series, similar to Black Myth: Wukong, has been criticized for lacking this feature due to the competitive multiplayer aspects that are common in these games and the potential advantage one player might have over another if their armor wasn’t easily identifiable. However, since Black Myth: Wukong doesn’t include competitive multiplayer, there’s less reason for the omission of Transmog. Moreover, given the numerous unique character designs in Black Myth: Wukong, it seems odd that Transmog isn’t included.

Why Black Myth: Wukong Needs a Transmog Feature

Black Myth: Wukong Includes Several Different Armor Sets With Distinct Appearances

In Black Myth: Wukong, even though there may not be as many armor sets compared to Elden Ring, there’s still a good variety of more than ten different ones for players to craft. Each set comes with unique advantages in gameplay and distinctive appearances that make them stand out. Initially, the armor sets you obtain might not be as grandiose as those found in the later stages of Black Myth: Wukong, but the case for a transmog option is strong among those who appreciate a more understated, traditional look for their character, the Destined One.

In the game Black Myth: Wukong, there’s a good selection of armor sets, but sometimes the headgear doesn’t align with the armor set players prefer. Wearing a non-matching headgear can also interfere with the bonus offered by wearing an entire set, making it not usually beneficial. An option to change the appearance of gear (transmogrification) would solve this issue, allowing players to wear any headgear they choose while still enjoying the design work put into each piece by Game Science.

A Transmog Option in Black Myth: Wukong Would Make Sense if There Are Plans for More Armor Sets to Be Added

If Game Science intends to introduce new armor sets in upcoming DLC and expansions for the game Black Myth: Wukong, it would make perfect sense to include a Transmogrification (Transmog) feature. As more gear is added, players will have an increasing number of visual customization options. With the distinctive armor designs in Black Myth: Wukong, there’s a strong argument for regular cosmetic updates like those seen in Stellar Blade. However, to fully enjoy these new appearances, a Transmog feature would become essential.

The game “Black Myth: Wukong,” released not too long ago, has already demonstrated remarkable success. With the developers, Game Science, announcing expansion and DLC plans based on the game’s performance, it seems reasonable to anticipate that additional features like transmogrification could be incorporated into these updates, particularly if they involve new armor for the main character to don.
