Defenses Fallen: Denuvo in Black Myth: Wukong Hacked After Two Years

The action game Black Myth: Wukong received high ratings from its audience upon its release, but some PC players avoided the project for a long time. This was due to the game's built-in Denuvo security system, known for its complexity and impact on game performance. Nearly two years after its release, the situation has changed, and the title has sparked a new controversy.

A hacker using the pseudonym 0xZeOn reported successfully bypassing the DRM protection in Black Myth: Wukong. Initially, he specified that the hack only worked on computers with AMD processors, but an updated version was published shortly afterward, claiming to be compatible with systems using Intel CPUs as well.

Initial user reviews were mixed. Players reported that running the hacked version required disabling certain Windows security mechanisms, which could pose a serious risk to the system. Despite this, the very fact that Denuvo was hacked into one of the most notable projects of recent years has sparked active discussion in the community and once again drawn attention to the effectiveness and consequences of using strict DRM solutions.
