Black Myth: Wukong Dev Wasn’t Nominated For Studio of the Year At Golden Joystick Awards

Expert Verified By

It Deserves To Be Nominated!

Story Highlight
  • Black Myth: Wukong is arguably the biggest hit of 2024. 
  • The developer behind this game is Game Science who didn’t previously make any ambitious games. 
  • Despite that, the developer wasn’t nominated for Studio of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. 

Black Myth: Wukong’s hype even 2 months after launch isn’t dead. In fact, its 24-hour peak is still over 165K which is uncommon for a single-player game. This shows that the developer behind this game Game Science really worked hard on this title. 

However, despite such hard work and being recognized by millions of gamers throughout the world, the developer wasn’t nominated for the Studio of the Year category at the Golden Joystick Awards. 

Why it matters: Game Science never worked on any ambitious title before and yet it managed to create such a masterpiece that broke almost every single record on Steam

Studio of the Year Award
Game Science Wasn’t Nominated for Studio of the Year At Golden Joystick Awards

At the Golden Joystick Awards 2024, Game Science wasn’t nominated as the Studio of the Year. This award means so much to the studios as it gives them even more recognition. However, a studio that came out of nowhere that no one knew about managed to create a game like Black Myth: Wukong. 

The only studios nominated are Visual Concepts, 11 Bit Studios, Capcom, Arrow Head Game Studios, Digital Eclipse, and Team Asobi.

It might seem unfair to exclude such a studio from the list. Game Science did not have prior experience in making a game of such scale and still managed to create a title that millions have appreciated.

You can see the sales for yourself. The game sold over 10 Million copies in just 3 days rivaling the likes of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo has garnered the fandom of Zelda over decades

That is why the sales in 3 days were that high. However, Game Science did no such thing and yet managed to garner such a massive fandom. The fans also might not agree with excluding the developer from this category as it truly deserves to be nominated
