A woman walks past an ad promoting the latest blockbuster new Chinese video game ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ in Beijing. The action game based on the legend of the Monkey King has outsold industry icons such as Elden Ring and Zelda, at least in its initial spurt. — APhas sold 18 million copies in two weeks – one of the fastest starts the global gaming industry has seen. That record pace has in turn minted millions for its earliest and biggest investor.
China’s biggest PC creation emerged from a creative team whose biggest claim to fame before this summer was a visit from Apple Inc’s Tim Cook. Wu, who escorted the iPhone boss around Hero’s Shanghai offices in 2017, said one of its early collaborations with Game Science caught Cook’s eye – though that project ultimately tanked.
Since its release on Aug 20, the game has broken several records for single-player titles, eclipsing the likes ofwith runaway popularity at home in China. It’s estimated to have earned US$700mil so far, overshadowed only by’s historic US$1bil in 10 days, according to Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad. He sees overseas sales accounting for a larger share going forward as the game’s global renown grows.
Game Science had struck out with its three prior efforts, which were more modest free-to-play mobile games chasing attention in the world’s biggest games arena. One of them,, even got prime placement on the iOS App Store after Cook’s visit, but to no avail.
