As the year approaches its final stretch, the competition for Game of the Year 2024 is getting intense. However, Black Myth: Wukong has pulled ahead in IGN’s community poll.

Black Myth: Wukong won IGN’s community poll for GOTY considerably.

The poll includes big games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Stellar Blade, but people seem to prefer Black Myth: Wukong. Its impressive visuals, fun combat, and well-written story inspired by Journey to the West set it apart from the rest.

The IGN community poll has made Black Myth: Wukong a fan favorite. Its strong showing in this vote proves its popularity, even against tough competitors.

The poll also features other big names like Shadow of the Erdtree and Helldivers 2, but Wukong’s lead shows that its Chinese mythology, along with its mindblowing graphics and gameplay, really connects with gamers.

Black Myth: Wukong is Game Science’s first AAA title and has already received an 84 score on Metacritic.

The game features some of the most thrilling boss battles in gaming.

Despite its current lead in the polls, the game hasn’t been without its critics. Most of the criticism seems political, with some reviewers giving it a low score for not being “diverse” enough.

Will that come into play when deciding on the GOTY at the end of the year? Nobody knows.

Furthermore, some players have mentioned pacing and level design issues that break immersion, but these concerns haven’t affected the game’s popularity.

Regardless, as we move into the last months of 2024, Black Myth: Wukong is still a top contender for Game of the Year. Its popularity in community polls and positive reviews indicate it will be a big name during The Game Awards.

No matter the result, Game Science’s success with Black Myth: Wukong makes it one of the most exciting studios to keep an eye on in the coming years.
