Black Myth Wukong won the Best Action Game TGA2024, and Chinese games shone on the world stage!
On the evening of December 12, Los Angeles time, the annual The Game Awards (TGA) awards ceremony came to an end. The domestic 3A game masterpiece "Black Myth: Goku" won the TGA 2024 Best Action Game Award!
Known as the "Oscar of the gaming industry", TGA's authority and influence are beyond doubt. To be able to stand out in the fierce competition of many internationally renowned game manufacturers and win the best action game of TGA fully proves the excellent quality and international competitiveness of "Black Myth: Wukong". This award is not only an affirmation of the game itself, but also a great recognition of China's game research and development strength, setting a new benchmark for Chinese games to go global.
Less than four months after its launch, "Black Myth: Wukong" has achieved remarkable results: sales have exceeded 22 million copies, sales are close to 8 billion yuan, Steam platform user evaluations have exceeded one million, and the praise rate is as high as 96%, of which 30% are from overseas players. These data strongly prove the global influence of this game, and also confirm the huge appeal of Chinese culture in the world. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning even praised "Black Myth: Wukong" in public for reflecting the charm of Chinese culture and further enhancing the international image of Chinese games.
The game uses advanced engine technology to perfectly present Chinese classical architecture, landscapes and other elements, and its fine modeling, light and shadow effects and detailed portrayal are breathtaking. A large number of ancient Chinese buildings in the game are highly reducible, thanks to the production team's use of high-precision 3D scanning technology to scan real scenes of many places of interest across the country and establish China's first virtual asset library of ancient buildings, striving to integrate the essence of Chinese traditional culture into the game. This extreme pursuit of detail brings players an unprecedented immersive gaming experience.
"Black Myth: Wukong" is adapted from the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West", but it is not a simple plot replica, but gives a new interpretation of the classic story. The game's plot is compact and wonderful, the characters are vividly depicted, the combat system is smooth and exciting, and there are many changes, so that players can experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture while experiencing the hearty battle. Its ingenious combat design and clever use of action elements have won numerous accolades for it.
The success of "Black Myth: Wukong" is also inseparable from the excellent business environment in Hangzhou. Game producer Feng Ji chose to register a company in Hangzhou because of Hangzhou's support and tolerance for the game industry. The Hangzhou Municipal Government provides "nanny-style" services for the game development team, from office space and talent apartments to government financial support and game license number applications. Hangzhou has taken the lead in introducing animation and game industry development policies since 2005, and has continued to iterate and optimize, providing a solid foundation for the vigorous development of the game industry. This undoubtedly laid an important foundation for the success of "Black Myth: Wukong".
Yan Feng, a professor of Chinese literature at Fudan University, believes that the significance of winning the award for "Black Myth: Wukong" is not only to make a good game, but also to demonstrate the heritage and cultural confidence of a big country. This game successfully combines traditional Chinese culture with modern game technology, showing the world the unique charm and profound heritage of Chinese culture, and making Chinese culture go to the world in a new way. This is of great significance for enhancing the influence of Chinese culture and enhancing cultural confidence.
"Black Myth: Wukong" won the best action game in TGA2024, which is a milestone in the history of domestic game development. It not only proves the rise of China's game research and development strength, but also marks the shining light of Chinese culture on the global stage. I believe that in the future, more excellent game works like "Black Myth: Wukong" will emerge, creating a more brilliant tomorrow for China's game industry!
