Hisense IFA Black Myth Wukong at IFA 2024

Chinese TV giant Hisense has announced a global partnership with the action role-playing game phenomenon, Black Myth: Wukong. The TV maker has celebrated the game’s global launch by rolling out an exclusive Black Myth: Wukong picture mode on its ULED Mini-LED U7 and QLED E7 PRO series screens.

The preset aims to take players deeper into the world of the RPG, enhancing the game’s visual quality with optimised HDR, precise colour, and enhanced dark detail. 

The mode should make the most of the game’s stunning visuals, which uses Unreal Engine 5 to realise ultra-detailed environments and character models. 

Hisense ULED Mini-LED U7 and QLED E7 PRO TVs are the official recommended TVs for Black Myth: Wukong

The new mode leans heavily into the wide colour of Quantum Dot Hisense TVs,  and their 144Hz Game Mode PRO and 240 high refresh rate. PC gameplay should be smooth and fluid. 

The gaming mode also promises an immersive audio treatment, developed in partnership with Dolby, said to showcase the game’s sound design, both during frantic battle scenes and more atmospheric moments.

Gamers will find the The Black Myth: Wukong picture mode on Hisense UX, U8N, U7N, E7N PRO, Q7N, and S7N series TVs for 2024.
