Report: Black Myth Wukong Guidelines for Content Creators State to Not Include Feminist Propaganda, Politics & COVID-19
Just yesterday, the review embargo for Black Myth Wukong has lifted, which means people who have the game can talk about their impressions freely. Well, it seems not only have reviews surfaced, but even guidelines for content creators, which included some restricted topics such us the COVID-19 pandemic, politics, and “feminist propaganda” and more.
Note that the document below is NOT the review guidelines and was only given to streamers and video makers (content creators and not traditional media). The Black Myth Wukong content guidelines below are the real deal as confirmed by TechRaptor reporter Don Parsons. You can check out the entire thing here, but we’ve included the important part below.
As you can see, it mentions that the recipient of the document is expected to:
- Do not insult other influencers or players.
- Do not use any offensive language/humor.
- Do not include politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda, fetishizations, and other content that instigates negative discoures.
- Do not use trigger words such as “quarantine” or “isolation” or “COVID-19”.
- Do not discuss content related to China’s game industry policies, opinions, news, etc.
Again, this is not the review guidelines for press, and was only sent out to content creators. Parsons has a piece on this as well where he talks about how (for lack of a better term) “interesting” this agreement is. That said, at least there’s no mention of people not allowed to say anything negatively about the game. Also of note, we might see these types of agreements on paid streams where the content creator isn’t allowed to discuss certain topics.
Even with this little snag, GameScience seems to have done well with their debut game, as our reviews round up for it (which includes TechRaptor’s) is quite positive.
In other Black Myth Wukong news, the game’s first PS5 gameplay footage has been released, and while it’s not a long video, it’s looking good so far.
Black Myth Wukong releases this August 20 on PS5 and PC.

This is pretty funny. I’m sure they’ll still find something to complain about, “there’s monkey representation but no apes, and that’s a problem” 😂
LOL! xD
They’re trying to make this into a scandal when we should all be talking about the corporations, equity firms, paid lackeys with guidance from political powers who are conspiring and openly racketeering.
If the game is good, the combat is fun and and story is enjoyable then that is all gamers should really care about.
Anything from China is going to be controversial, just ignore what you don’t like and play the final product. It’s no different than separating the art from the artist as many people do in the US. People listen to music by controversial artists like Michael Jackson, P Diddy and R Kelly. It doesn’t mean they think the person who wrote the song is good, they just like the art they created.
