Epic Tale

Black Myth: Wukong's meteoric rise to the top of Steam's global best-seller charts, even before its official launch, is a testament to its widespread appeal. This action RPG's consistent presence in Steam's top 100 for nine weeks, culminating in its recent surge past heavyweights like Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG, underscores its remarkable success.

The game's journey to the summit is particularly noteworthy in its home country, China. As highlighted by Twitter user @Okami13_, it has maintained a top 5 position on the Chinese Steam charts for two months. Chinese media hails it as a prime example of the nation's burgeoning AAA game development prowess, a significant achievement in a market already boasting titles like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves.

This global phenomenon began in 2020 with a 13-minute pre-alpha gameplay trailer that garnered millions of views across YouTube and Bilibili within 24 hours. This early success propelled Game Science, a studio primarily known for mobile games, onto the world stage, even attracting an enthusiastic fan who made an unexpected visit to their offices.

The game's captivating visuals, Souls-like combat, and epic boss battles have fueled the relentless hype. As the August 20th release date for PC and PlayStation 5 approaches, anticipation reaches a fever pitch. Whether Black Myth: Wukong can fully live up to its immense expectations remains to be seen, but its pre-launch success is undeniable. The images below further illustrate the game's stunning visuals and the excitement surrounding its imminent release.
