STORYLINE:

"Black Myth: Wukong,"  China's first triple-A video game, caused a global sensation upon its release on Tuesday.

It is an action role-playing game, inspired by the ancient Chinese tale "Journey to the West." This release marks a bold foray by Chinese game developers into a market long dominated by Western triple-A titles.

Within hours of its release, the game attracted over 1.5 million players and quickly began trending on social media, achieving high rankings on game review platforms.

By Tuesday evening, over 3 million copies of the game had been sold on Steam alone, with total sales across all platforms exceeding 4.5 million copies, generating over 1.5 billion yuan (about 211 million USD) in revenue.
