Decoding 'Black Myth: Wukong' – Secrets from 'Journey to the West'

"Black Myth: Wukong," based on Chinese classic "Journey to the West," has exploded onto the global gaming scene. Three days after China's first AAA game was released on August 20, the number of people playing it on online platform Steam had exceeded 2.415 million, with over 10 million copies sold across all platforms. One of the key discussions on social platforms is how the game's plot compares to that of the book. So, CGTN has produced a companion guide, helping players learn about the plot and characters from the novel. Today's newsletter also features 'Black Myth: Wukong' in the eyes of foreign players, the real actor behind the video game and how it sparked a tourism boom in China's Shanxi, along with a CGTN questionnaire on the game.
