  The theme part of this song (derived from the 1986 TV series theme) is probably as iconic as the Star Wars theme for Asian people.

  As a Vietnamese, I listened to this song throughout my youth, every summer with the Journey to the West TV show. When I first heard it in the trailer, I pre-ordered the game instantly. Thank you, Game Science, for bringing back my childhood memories

  The original composer is Mr. Xu Jingqing, who created most of the music of Journey to the West in 1986, and has been waiting 30 years for crowdfunding to start a Journey to the West theme concert, now he is 82 years old, when he saw his music appeared in the Black myth WuKong is very excited, the old music is rejuvenated in the new field, he said that the game screen is beautiful, the fight scenes are fantastic, He even said he wanted to play hahaha, there are so many foreign friends like his music, I think he&apos;d be very happy about that。

  my god. I’m Chinese and, this hit hard!! This is the theme to 80s TV drama Journey to the West. This is literally a part of our childhood. There were some electronic music elements in the original 80s track ( like the one in the beginning) making it a very trendy and a bit controversial music back in 80s china. Back then the genre was still very new to the market

  That motif is deeply drilled into the DNA of a lot of Asian players. It echos so so hard.

  With tears streaming down my face... it&apos;s no longer Captain America facing Thanos&apos; army before me... but the childhood superhero, holding the most powerful staff in the world, wearing the brightest golden armor, standing on the most beautiful cloud in the world. In front of him are countless heavenly soldiers and generals, but he just sneers with disdain. With one strike of his staff, he shatters all injustices and evil between heaven and earth, and with one kick, he breaks all the shackles and constraints of the human world... I finally realize that this demon monkey is the hero I&apos;ve always wanted.
