- The developers behind Phantom Blade Zero and Stellar Blade congratulated Game Science for this success.
- Fellow Asian studios are happy to see Black Myth: Wukong’s success as a game that unites diverse cultures.
Black Myth: Wukong is the biggest release this year, selling over 10 million copies in just three days and becoming the fastest-selling title of all time, beating the likes of Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and many others.
While many saw this success coming, it’s still massive for the Chinese and Asian gaming industry. Black Myth: Wukong has become a huge deal for this industry, and the teams behind Stellar Blade and Phantom Blade Zero are congratulating Game Science on their success.
Why it matters: 2023 and 2024 have already been huge years for Asian developers outside Japan. Following the release of Stellar Blade and Lies of P, Black Myth: Wukong has yet again solidified its strong standing in the industry.
Soon after its release, Black Myth: Wukong became the second biggest title on Steam. Developers like Shift Up were also quick to congratulate the studio, joining in on this success.

While recent reports have suggested that Phantom Blade Zero will be released in 2026, the title looks like another promising showcase of Chinese talents.
