When you finish your first run of Black Myth Wukong, you’ll be returned to the game’s main menu, where you can then choose to ‘Enter a New Cycle’. By selecting this option, you’ll be starting the game all over again in New Game Plus.

Before we delve into what you get to keep in New Game Plus, it’s also worth noting that Black Myth Wukong does support up to ten save files at a time. This means that if you would rather start the game again without entering New Game Plus or losing your current save, you can do that without worry.

It’s worth bearing in mind that if you start New Game Plus, you will lose access to the Keeper’s Shrines and NPCs you previously had access to.
