"Black Myth: Wukong" was a huge success after its release, pushing the Chinese game industry to a new level and laying the foundation for subsequent major investments and various projects. The game also received multiple Game of the Year nominations and broke this year’s Steam record for the number of people online at the same time. It achieved impressive results and shocked the producers of "Metal Gear Solid 3: Remake."
Recently, Noriaki Okamura, senior producer of "Metal Gear Solid 3: Remastered", was interviewed by Japanese media 4Gamer and talked about the most shocking game in 2024. He said it was "Black Myth: Wukong". Yuke created this AAA-level masterpiece without any experience and was nominated for Game of the Year. It is really amazing.
"It still shocks me that a studio with no experience suddenly became one of the main contenders for Game of the Year," said Noriaki Okamura. According to him, the success of "Black Myth: Wukong" is similar to the success of "Genshin Impact". Both games showcase the capabilities of Chinese game developers that suddenly stand out and offer players a unique experience.
Noriaki Okamura isn't the only one who thinks Black Myth is the most shocking game of the year, developers from studios like Koei Tecmo and Cygames have said much the same thing.
It can be known from the words of these developers that "Black Myth: Wukong" will have a major impact on the game industry in 2024. Looking forward to the future, Youke will launch "Black Myth: Wukong" DLC and sequels to expand the IP.
