- Numbers like these for a single player game is absolutely insane, not to mention the overwhelmingly positive fanfare overall. The game did especially well in China, highlighting how huge the Chinese gaming market and population is.

AAA studios are currently panicking over their inability to understand how a single-player game with no live service bs could be selling so well.

[ajfgaming]

It's almost as if when you make an ACTUAL good game that is made to entertain and not drain bank accounts, people will praise it and it will be successful. Absolutely mind blowing that the big companies can't fucking see that

[adriannalockhart]

Remember when we were told Singleplayer games had no future?

[thundertheloveable]

Remember when EA said "people aren't interested in single player games anymore"

[maxderrat]

This game kicks ass. It really deserves the success it is getting. It does have a couple of elements that clearly indicate that it was the developer's first time tackling something of this scope (like you said, Yong, the world design between bosses, as well as INNUMERABLE invisible walls that you will keep running into, thinking you can go somewhere but you can't). Nonetheless, the pace is amazing, the combat feels great, the graphics are stellar, and it makes wonderful use of its source material.

Single player, no microtransactions, no day 1 special BS...yea, those devs deserve the honey.

[Umbravitae]

The wildest part is that this keeps happening (Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring, BG3, Wukong) and most developers are still like, “fuck it, let’s make another ftp hero shooter with egregious microtransactions”

[slobrat]

it was about 68, 000, 000 to develop the game, they made 600 million in 3 days.... insane. shows that making good games hasnt died yet.

[TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

Ah, a great modern video game with a great premise that had great marketing. Brings a tear to the eye.

[ItsShatter]

I have a strong feeling the true peak is going to be this weekend. There is almost no way that anyone is done with the game at this point. It is massive and so rich with content.

[thealmightyduck]

Man, I remember seeing the first look gameplay of Wukong like 3 years ago and thinking that it was gonna be huge. I'm so happy it's living up to mine, and seemingly everyone else's expectations. Nothing but pure respect for the devs.

[The_Gentleman_X]

Black Myth Wukong is proving that the modern audience is the actual myth.

[mightylink]

Another pure single player game with no bullshit selling well, what a shocker... I'll put this on my shelf right next to Baldur's Gate 3 and Hogwarts Legacy.

[LupercalRising]

Feels like the old days on ps2 when you'd buy a game and it was just good.

[DrkKnght]

Meanwhile, Conchord is crashing like the Hindenberg.

I played it myself .. 23 HOURS in ... and damn .. I really want to slap that one guy who said """its chinese.. its just going to be all flash no substance"" before the game even comes out ..

Its a FANTASTIC GAME ... its their first ever Triple A game too !! what a banger

[heroiam]

Even without the chinese player base they managed to sell at least 2 million copies in the rest of the world.

I’d say that’s a pretty huge win, in only 3 days, if that’s not the definition of world wide success I don’t know what is.

[roguepoison]

Honestly even if the units sold are primarily Chinese, can you blame them? It's Sun Wukong, i can't think of msny examples of Sun Wukong in games that show the majesty and just how badass of a character he is, we've seen him in many medias but getting a full fledged game, it's huge and about damn time.

[mr.goblin]

I’ve seen people going “how is it selling so much!? Thats not possible!” and I’m like… Did people forget that the US, Europe and Japan aren’t the only places that play games? China, India and a ton of other countries also love video games. China especially loves games by studios made in China, based on a classic and lovable cultural icon FROM China. It’s not surprising in that context. The Chinese gaming market has been growing for a couple of years now. It also helps that this is one of their first major triple A games. The success comes from people who love Wukong wanting it to succeed, and A LOT of people across Asia love Wukong.
