At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

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.

Congratulations to Game Science on the release of 「Black myth Wukong 」as a fellow Asian game creator.

Elsewhere, the Chinese developer behind the highly anticipated Phantom Blade Zero also gave Game Science a shoutout, highlighting how big releases like Black Myth: Wukong unite diverse cultures.

As fellow developers from China, we couldn’t be more proud. Games are powerful bridges that unite diverse cultures.

-S-Game

While the game saw some criticism for lacking diversity, S-Game acknowledged how such a release helps spread a rich culture to different audiences.

Overall, it’s a great sight to see the Asian industry growing in such a manner. This success will help add more diversity and competition to the industry. Stellar Blade was another successful release from the region this year, selling over a million copies in just two months.

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

As for Game Science, the path ahead looks more promising than ever. With over 200K positive Steam reviews, the team’s first major AAA release is still going strong.

Future projects will likely come with even bigger ambitions and goals, propelling the team to further heights as long as it delivers the same great gameplay that fans have come to expect.
