August, which has been long awaited by domestic game enthusiasts, has finally arrived. "Black Myth: Wukong", a game that is known as a milestone in domestic 3A games, will be officially released on August 20.

Previously, the actual gameplay video of Black Myth: Wukong has attracted widespread attention and praise, especially the offline trial event held in Hangzhou last month, which made many players full of confidence in it. In view of this, the possibility of this game failing is relatively low.

In terms of sales, the pre-sale performance of "Black Myth: Wukong" is impressive, exceeding 1.2 million copies. This figure far exceeds other domestic stand-alone games released in the same period in 2024, and is far ahead.

From an industry perspective, the significance of Black Myth: Wukong goes far beyond the scope of an ordinary game. In addition to those players who have not yet decided whether to buy and are waiting to see, the capital market is also paying close attention to it. The market performance of Black Myth: Wukong is expected to have a significant and lasting impact on the domestic stand-alone game market in the next five years.

So today, let’s take a look at what other new PC games are worth looking forward to in August, besides Black Myth: Wukong.

"Limit-Removing Machine"

Seasun's sci-fi mecha multiplayer battle game "Mecha BREAK" launched the "Pioneer Action" test on August 3.

The "Operation Pioneer" test is expected to start at 10:00 on August 3. This test is a limited-number, free, deleted test. Drivers can activate the first phase of the test qualification through the advance experience activation code.

If players have participated in the previous tests of "Limit-free Machines", they can log in directly after the server opens on August 3 without the activation code. If players have not participated in the previous tests of "Limit-free Machines", starting from August 3, go to the "Limit-free Machines" special area on major live broadcast platforms to watch the live broadcast. At that time, a large number of activation codes for this test will be dropped throughout the period, and you can easily obtain the qualification for this test. Drivers are welcome to come and collect them.

Dragon Nest Classic Server will not be deleted

On the same day that Black Myth: Wukong is released, the classic action MMORPG Dragon Nest Classic will start its non-delete beta test on August 20. Although the game types are different, choosing this day to start the non-delete beta test shows its confidence and courage.

Due to the failure of the previous "Dragon Nest Memory Server", Shengqu has also learned from its mistakes. The core purpose is to "restore the original flavor and reshape the reputation", aiming to restore the classic experience in the players' memory while improving the shortcomings of the past.

And promised to follow three principles: keep the core combat experience unchanged, avoid the recurrence of historical problems, and add new features that are in line with the habits of modern players.

Star Wars

After Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, Sony naturally had to prepare for the possibility of losing a number of top shooting IPs such as COD and OW.

Then Sony's "Overwatch" which will be launched on August 24 is a 5v5 team shooting game that competes with OW.

The game provides 16 free soldier characters for players to choose from. Each character has unique skills and personality. Players can form a team according to their preferences and tactical needs.

Although the gameplay of the game seems to be very good, the recent issue of the game ZZZQ's character setting has also caused the game's reputation to explode. Previously, the number of players in the game was seriously lost during the free test period, and there were only a few hundred people.

One has to worry about its performance when it goes online on August 24.

SMITE 2

Players who like to play MOBA games should still remember the 3D perspective MOBA game "Smite" previously represented by Tencent. At present, the official has announced that the sequel of the game "Smite 2" will be launched on August 27.

"Smite 2" inherits everything players love about "Smite" and is built with Unreal Engine 5. In this legendary third-person action MOBA sequel, players will become gods and set off a war.

Compared to SMITE, SMITE 2 will bring more gods, equipment improvements, gameplay changes, and a relic and item system for deeper strategy and more impactful combat.

In addition to visual control meters and new dynamic map objectives, SMITE II introduces dual power sources: strength and intelligence, diversifying each god's abilities and allowing for more nuanced and varied play styles.

In addition to this, SMITE 2 allows for more creative collaboration on maps than SMITE did. This allows for more fine-grained changes without modifying the entire layout.

Additionally, interactive elements have been improved to deepen player engagement and strategy. Jungle monsters and fire giants now level up with each defeat, and buffs provide increasingly more player rewards.

Star Wars: Outlaws

The first open world action-adventure game of "Star Wars" is set in an open world in a distant galaxy. The work will be released on PS5, Xbox Series S|X and PC platforms on August 30, 2024.

The story of Star Wars: Outlaws takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In this game, players will explore different planets in the galaxy, including both representative planets in the movies and new unknown planets.

Players will take on the role of Kai-Vis, an outlaw seeking freedom and a new life. Alongside Vess, players will also find her companion, Nyx. Players will outwit, steal, and outwit the galaxy's criminal syndicates to become the galaxy's most wanted criminal.

"East: Alone in the Plains"

The production team of the Chinese style city building game "East: Alone in the Plains" announced that it will start a limited test of "Chinese style and resonance" on the Steam platform on August 12. The game is scheduled to be officially launched in October.
