Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG rooted in Chinese mythology. You shall set out as the Destined One to venture into the challenges and marvels ahead, to uncover the obscured truth beneath the veil of a glorious legend from the past.
AAA Chinese game, not surprising that it would be so popular but a majority must be Chinese player as it didn’t get that much coverage in the rest of the world as far as I understand from everyone’s reaction…
Not sure why people downvote you, but most must be. Because I checked the player count this morning in Europe and it was also at 1,5 million. The only ones that play games in early hours of Europe are a majority in Asia, more specifically China. This has also been my experience with online matchmaking in early hours of the day, it’s 9 out of 10 chance I got matched with either Chinese or Koreans during those hours.
I knew of this game but had already forgotten about it. Just got notified recently because the benchmark was downloaded a lot past week.
China supports in country stuff, most countries do really, so long as quality is comparable, and its been slowly but steadily getting there. Saw an article posted on lemmy somewhere earlier today how a locally made movie is topping their box office while Deadpool and Wolverine isn’t even top 10.
For sure, I wasn’t criticizing, just pointing out that it’s probably the reason why there’s so many players yet barely anyone in this thread had heard about it
It’s all over my RSS feeds, so it’s certainly being covered now.
There’s been some (not exactly scientific) indications that the vast majority of the userbase is in China so it remains to be seen if it was actually a success in the West or not.

The majority of coverage I heard about it were about the scandals at the studio.
That is all I have heard too

It’s just the lemmy userbase wants to be different
