On August 20, after four years of waiting, Black Myth: Wukong gamers around the world finally grabbed their magic wands and began a new Journey to the West.
But this time, the mission is not to go to the West to get the scriptures, but to bring all the “demons” there. Starting with the review from SocialPeta itself – reaching 9.5/10 “Black Myth: Wukong” is a magnificent masterpiece, a must-play game in your life.
The game’s graphics are impressive, with a unique and engaging art style. The storyline is equally impressive. With multiple endings, the game encourages players to delve deeper into the story through multiple playthroughs. However, there is still a minus point of 0.5, here’s why: Although “Black Myth: Wukong” is excellent in many aspects, Game Science’s over-emphasis on graphics has created some limitations.
Some of the map designs are a bit bare, and the lack of a minimap can make it easy for first-time players to get lost, especially in the woods. The presence of invisible walls also reduces the player's sense of immersion, as the game's photorealistic visuals often make certain areas appear accessible when in fact they are blocked off. However, these shortcomings are relatively minor compared to the overall game.
Black Myth: Wukong has been very successful in marketing and promotion.
As of today, SocialPeta has collected a total of 310 international ads for “Black Myth: Wukong.” Marketing efforts are mainly focused on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The game’s trailer was released on May 19, with the official launch date being August 20.

During this period, SocialPeta detected more than 160 ads in a single day. Then, on June 25, the game entered a promotional slowdown period in preparation for its official launch.
On August 19, the collaboration between “Black Myth: Wukong” and Luckin Coffee resulted in the launch of the “Black Myth Cloud Americano,” which sold out instantly, nearly crashing the distribution system.
On August 20, with the opening of the pre-order program for “Black Myth: Wukong,” the stock prices of related companies surged. Huayi Brothers, a major shareholder of Hero Entertainment and an early investor in Game Science, saw its stock price rise 19% on the day, with a cumulative increase of 43% since the opening of the pre-order program. Zhejiang Publishing, the company responsible for content censorship, rose 10%, while CITIC Publishing, which helps publish the game’s art book, also rose 20%.
