Black Myth: Wukong, developed by the Chinese gaming company Game Science, went through a feverish development process for exactly 5 years and was released on August 20, 2024. The game, developed by the Chinese-based Game Science, has broken a record that is very hard to break in terms of the number of simultaneous players, leaving even Cyberpunk 2077 behind.

A GREAT VISUAL FEAST!

Inspired by Chinese mythology and featuring an intense storytelling, the game also includes mythological depictions. While the main character Wukong is already a part of this mythology, it is possible to see the same breeze in the bosses.

Black Myth: Wukong, which has caused a huge uproar with both its gameplay and graphics since its first video, is now on sale. The action game, which stands out as the most massive production to be released in the Chinese market, has exploded on Steam in a very short time. Wukong, which has moved into 4th place in terms of concurrent player count, leaving Cyberpunk 2077, Lost Ark and Dota behind, is now targeting Counter-Strike 2. If it can attract another 250 thousand players in the coming hours, it will manage to take 3rd place in the list of concurrent player count in Steam history.

When looking at the review scores of the game, it is seen that it was reviewed on the PC platform. Although some videos have emerged for the console versions of the game, the company seems to have generally preferred the PC platform for the review. The game seems to have passed the 80 threshold during its release. It should not be overlooked that it received good scores, but also slightly lower scores from some major sites.
