However, the game is not without controversy.
The long-awaited game Black Myth: Wukong has finally been released, and it’s already enjoying unprecedented success with millions of players. Available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 for €59.99, the game quickly climbed the charts upon release.
Black Myth: Wukong is set in a fantasy world and features unique and captivating creature designs. The game draws heavy inspiration from the famous Chinese tale Journey to the West, bringing fresh visuals and storytelling to the genre. On launch day, it became the best-selling and most-played title, surpassing major games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and even the largest single-player game on Steam, Palworld. Currently, the game boasts over two million active players on Steam.
Despite its success, the game is also facing a wave of controversy. The developers at Game Science have been accused of promoting sexist and misogynistic remarks that have circulated on social media. These comments sparked backlash, particularly from women in the gaming community, who expressed frustration and disappointment at the inappropriate content.
