Black Myth: Wukong is already one of the fastest-selling games of all time, moving almost as many units in one week as Elden Ring and Cyberpunk did in their first months (www.pcgamer.com)

This seems to be mostly driven by Chinese gamers wanting to play it for the Chinese mythology theme

Shit, I'm not even Chinese and I jump any time I see a game with Chinese mythology. Anyone got anything good, tell me! I used to be a huge 9dragons fan. Never got into Jade Empire, maybe I should give that another shot?

I wonder if we’ll see a huge influx of other Chinese mythology related games in the coming months, trying to capitalize on this.

If it's within the coming months, they either had to be in development long ago or they're dogshit.

But maybe some upcoming games will be announced with similar themes.

9Dragons now that is a throwback

Hell yeah!

I believe it still works but it feels very dated. Still, it just feels very satisfying somehow.
