I haven't read anything about Game Science offering a PS5 Pro patch for Black Myth: Wukong, but fortunately the new system's "Game Boost" feature can improve performance by up to ~35% in GPU-limited scenarios even on titles that have not been specifically updated for PS5 Pro, which should come in handy for Black Myth: Wukong given its unstable performance on PS5, though of course a specific patch would still be desirable to take advantage of the new system's PSSR upscaler and improved (but still relatively modest) ray-tracing capabilities.

Here, Digital Foundry discusses PS5 Pro's Game Boost feature primarily with reference to Elden Ring, but also Metaphor: Refantazio and a few other games:

"We consumed Japanese and American culture in our youth, now we are going to shit it back out and force feed it back to them"
-straight quote from the developer
The same developer also said this was entirely based on his and his coworkers' memories, and he didn't hire any consultants or anything for "true historical accuracy". Guy's ballin with big balls. Huge Chineseian chromed balls.

From a workflow perspective, would this game have to go through the normal review process? Or if it gets only released on Steam can that be avoided?

Because if it had to go through the censorer like normal that means that department is actually much more genre savvy and aware of satire than I would have previously thought. Imagine that conversation:

Censorship Bureau official "Does this game spread Chinese value? What inspired you to make this game?"
Xiangyu Luo "I did it for the lulz"
Bam, official state seal of approval

Another reaction and review on Infinity Nikki, and I think the most informative yet in terms of useful information. The franchise and the game is by Inspace, who made Love and Deepspace. That's a set of devs that target the female audience. Infinity Nikki already has 25 million preorders and is slated for a December 31, 2024 launch on PC, PS5, and mobile.

Let's not post tectone here. I don't necessarily have anything against gacha games per se, but let's not bring some of those toxic commentators here.
