Now Playing: Black Myth: Wukong Launch Trailer | Gamescom 2024
Hero Games paid $8.5 million for a 20% stake in Game Science, but Hero Games remains unprofitable, according to the report.
"Wukong proves not only that we have top-notch game-making capabilities, but also we can tell a good story with Chinese elements," Wu said.
The game has now brought in more than $800 million in revenue. Black Myth: Wukong now only trails Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V, which earned $1 billion in its first three days, 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ($1 billion in 10 days) and Hogwarts Legacy ($850 million over its first two weeks).
Wu said he and Game Science founder Feng Ji were "two drowning rats" before Black Myth: Wukong. Game Science's previous games, developed for mobile, did not succeed in a meaningful way, and Game Science took a big bet on making console game aimed at the Chinese audience (where mobile games are relatively more popular).
As for the Black Myth: Wukong expansion mentioned in the piece, no further details were provided about it. Keep checking back with GameSpot for more.
Black Myth: Wukong has been controversial in some circles. Game Science's guidelines for content creators ask them to avoid discussing "feminist propaganda" and COVID. A report from IGN in 2023 documented the alleged sexist and misogynist commentary from the development team.
