Today, IGN verified an email sent by the Black Myth: Wukong marketing team that told content creators who received a Steam key that they could not use “feminist propaganda” or use so-called “trigger words” like COVID-19 in their messaging.

Game Science has not yet responded to IGN’s previous report a collection of numerous sexist comments made by the studio’s founders and other developers over the past decade.
