Monster-Slaying Adventure Based on Hit(?) Movie of Same Name Will Let Gamers Play as the Powerful Monkey King or the Orphaned Child Monk, Jiang Lieur, to Battle the Evil Mountain Lord.
Oasis Games, with Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia and October Media Group announced they will be releasing the action game: Monkey King: Hero Is Back the Game for PS4 during Sony’s ChinaJoy 2017 press conference.
Based on the movie (of which I’ve never heard) of the same title, the highest grossing film in the history of China at its release, the game is being developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia and Hexa Drive.
The Monkey King is a mythological figure prevalent in Chinese literature, appearing in a wide body of legends dating back to the Sony dynasty. In the film, the all-powerful Monkey King is imprisoned by the Gods for 500 years.
When a child releases him from his curse, the Monkey King must save an innocent village from the evil Mountain Lord and his monstrous army. In the game, players will be able to play as Monkey King or the young monk in training, Jiang Lieur, and experience the story of the movie alongside new chapters and enemies, as well as new levels that are unique to the game.
“Monkey King: Hero Is Back the Game combines the global popularity of the Monkey King character and film with a visually rich and compelling monster-slaying interactive experience on PlayStation 4,” said Alen Wu, Business Director at Oasis Games. “With the oversight of October Media for the project and the development prowess of Hexa Drive and Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia, we have the perfect team to deliver an outstanding game for action fans.”
