Islamabad, Aug 24: Black Myth: Wukong, the hugely successful action role-playing game, has broken sales records, selling 10 million copies in just three days after its release.
This remarkable achievement puts the game up among industry heavyweights like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring as one of the fastest-selling games of all time.
Black Myth: Wukong, created by the Chinese company Game Science, is based on the well-known 16th-century Chinese tale “Journey to the West.”
The game’s pre-release criticism from certain gaming sources makes its success all the more remarkable. This accomplishment highlights the erratic nature of the gaming business, where a compelling game can win over players’ hearts and dollars throughout the globe even in the face of criticism.
Black Myth: Wukong boasts three million gamers on PC and consoles and has captured the attention of a global audience. The vast popularity of the game in China is demonstrated by the fact that the majority, or almost 2.3 million, are playing on PCs, mostly via Steam. The remaining 700,000 participants are dispersed among other platforms.
Black Myth: Wukong, despite receiving mixed reviews, has clearly had an impact on the gaming industry and elevated developer Game Science to a prominent position. Sales are expected to soar further as the game’s first weekend draws near and an Xbox release is imminent. Black Myth: Wukong is available for $59.99 on Steam right now and has received over 300,000 extremely good reviews. The game’s Digital Deluxe Edition costs $69.99, but it’s also available for standalone purchase for $10.00.
