The Tencent-backed video game 'Black Myth: Wukong' has made a remarkable debut, garnering record player numbers. Based on the classic Chinese novel 'Journey to the West,' the game has topped Steam's most-played and China sales charts after pre-orders.
Developed by Game Science, a studio founded by a former Tencent employee and backed by mobile publisher Hero Entertainment, 'Black Myth: Wukong' has attracted global attention as a high-budget Chinese title. It has surpassed popular games like 'Elden Ring' and 'Cyberpunk 2077' in terms of concurrent players on Steam, becoming the most-played single-player game ever on the platform.
Despite its success, the game has faced controversy due to reported sexism at its developer, Game Science. With its massive popularity and impressive sales forecasts, 'Black Myth: Wukong' has become a landmark for China's gaming industry, positioning the country as a global cultural power in the gaming market.
