The release of Black Myth: Wukong on Tuesday has attracted worldwide attention. As China’s first true AAA title, Black Myth represents a major development of the Chinese gaming industry.

The game is set against the backdrop of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. After Tang Monk and his disciples (弟子) successfully obtained Buddhist scriptures, Monkey King (Sun Wukong) was named Fighting Buddha and gradually vanished. No one knew where he was. The player controls a young monkey (Destined One) who, inspired by the legendary tale, becomes determined to follow in Sun Wukong’s footsteps on the journey to the West and starts a journey to uncover the truth.

Black Myth aims to recreate the original story while incorporating (融合) a wealth of traditional Chinese cultural elements. It integrates elements such as Daoist talismans, Buddhist artifacts, ancient architecture, and traditional clothing, with game scenes inspired by famous places of interest in China like the Great Wall, the Mogao Caves, and Mount Huangshan, allowing players to experience a rich oriental atmosphere. Black Myth also recreates architectural and scenic details from sites like the Faxing Temple in Changzhi, the Foguang Temple in Xinzhou, and the Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao, as well as the Tiefo Monastery in Gaoping, transporting players back to ancient China. “The game’s near 1:1 reproduction of China’s landscapes, temples, and sculptures is undoubtedly part of our cultural export,” Yang Jie, a representative from the Shanxi Digital Cultural Experience Center, said.

While the game’s popularity in China can partly be attributed to national familiarity with Journey to the West, the fact that it has caught international audiences’ attention — many of whom lack this cultural background — suggests that Black Myth is on the right path. Many overseas players have been inspired by the game to start reading the original book Journey to the West. Fans of Black Myth have even started posting videos online, sharing their understanding of Chinese mythology (神话) and the Journey to the West story.
