"'Black Myth: Wukong' ... was being played on Wednesday by 2.2 million concurrent players on Steam, a major online gaming platform, a day after its release," Reuters reported on Wednesday. |
The video game, inspired by the ancient Chinese tale "Journey to the West," surpassed the popularity of other much-hyped single-player titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring, according to data tracker SteamDB. |
"The success of the game shows that Chinese game developers have high-end development capabilities for AAA games and can compete with Western studios on the global stage," Daniel Ahmad, senior analyst at Niko Partners, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying. |
Wukong, or Monkey King, is an iconic figure from "Journey to the West" -- a Chinese classic novel dating back about 500 years. |
An interest in the ancient Chinese literature "Journey to the West" has been aroused among netizens and players. |
"Chinese games like 'Black Myth: Wukong' embrace traditional cultural aesthetics. This might be refreshing after years of excessive cyberpunk styles and over-the-top colors. Few things are as rich and diverse as the traditional tales of ancient cultures," a X user, "LearningTheLaw," says. |
The Time Of India newspaper reported Tuesday that the newly released game has taken the gaming world by storm. "Overall, the success of 'Black Myth: Wukong' signals a new era for Chinese video games on the global stage, showcasing the potential for high-budget, culturally rich titles from China to captivate audiences worldwide," it added. |
