Black Myth Wukong is a unique case, and is considered the dark horse of 2024 for several reasons, perhaps because it is a giant Chinese game with an interesting product, story, and world, or because of the crazy sales that are leading the developer and the title to completely new horizons.
According to what was monitored through the platform Gamalytic And VG Insights, estimates that the game has sold at most 16 million copies since its launch on August 19 alone. These platforms were the ones that initially revealed that the game had sold 10 million copies within 72 hours of its release, which was officially confirmed a few hours later.
This is a very imaginary number that the game can achieve in just 10 days of its release, and there is no doubt that it will make it enter history with its large sales among huge titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy, which have become a basic standard in sales in recent years, and it is a great achievement that puts the Chinese developer Game Science in the spotlight now.
No one can deny this achievement that caused the PS5 devices to sell out in all of China, which is currently the biggest supporter of the game given their numbers and that it is coming from China as a mother country in the end, it is something expected and proves the unparalleled success of the game. This is in addition to the first historical achievement of its kind on the Steam platform, which has recorded 37 million active users in the past days.
The game received very good reviews from critics, but it was not as impressive in Western sites for somewhat obscure reasons. However, it received deserved admiration from Middle Eastern audiences and non-Western and Asian sites in particular.
Black Myth Wukong is a subgenre of Souls games that takes advantage of Chinese mythology in a story that takes shape to uncover a legend from the protagonist who has been intrigued by many since the first reveal and is ultimately a monkey, but he is the monkey who has managed to capture the admiration of players at the present time.
The game is available on PS5 and PC, have you tried it yet, dear reader?
