■ About
The curtain rises on yet another never-before-seen Chinese myth: a new saga in the Journey to the West!
Based on the original CG animation that became an unprecedented box office smash in China in 2015, this unique episode will be playable in the game.
Having been released from his seal after a long 500 years, the Great Dasheng and Liuer, the boy who looks up to Dasheng, forge bonds of friendship in this action-packed adventure tale.
Combining a spectacular Chinese myth with comical kung-fu, this hair-raising adventure is about to begin!
