Black Myth Wukong sells over 10 million copies in its first three days of release

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a particular fondness for the Souls-like genre, I must say that Black Myth Wukong has left me utterly astounded. The sheer scale of its success is nothing short of phenomenal, reminiscent of a mythical beast storming through the gaming world.

As a gamer, I’ve been utterly captivated by Black Myth: Wukong. It’s swept through the gaming world like a tempest, outshining even the most optimistic predictions. When it comes to souls-like games, there’s nothing quite like those crafted by the genre’s mastermind FromSoftware, such as Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne. Yet, Game Science’s debut in this style has left these games in the dust when it comes to breaking records in terms of its breathtaking setting.

Game Science recently revealed that the action-adventure game Black Myth Wukong has surpassed 10 million sales across all available platforms since its launch on August 20th. Furthermore, it simultaneously boasted over 3 million players concurrently on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Notably, Steam alone accounted for approximately 2 million of these sales, catapulting the game to the second most popular game ever played, trailing only behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG).

Wow, I can hardly contain my excitement as a fan! It’s mind-blowing to share that Black Myth: Wukong has reached an incredible milestone of 10 million copies sold across all platforms! (As of 21:00 Beijing time, August 23, 2024)

Reaching this milestone places it among the most anticipated games of 2024, competing against titles like Helldivers 2, Palworld, and College Football 25, which currently hold the lead. However, with its early stages, there’s a strong chance it could take the lead if its growing popularity persists in the coming weeks and months. The buzz surrounding Black Myth Wukong is immense, causing a scarcity of PS5 consoles in China due to players rushing to stores to secure the system for the new Souls-like game.

Black Myth: Wukong has garnered much enthusiasm from gamers, yet it’s faced criticism regarding its combat system, with our review noting that the game is “limited by a continuous boss marathon and repetitive battles.” However, we also appreciate the “innovative elements and fresh perspectives offered to the Souls-like genre.” This title has taken the Chinese development team by surprise, sparking great interest in the studio’s future plans for the franchise. At present, numerous players are immersed in this fresh installment within the Souls-like genre, providing fans with a new adventure after Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC was released earlier this year.
