On November 19th, it was nominated for the 2024 TTA Best Game and many other awards. In terms of the game's plot, the story after the Journey to the West contained the ultimate interrogation of fate and self. In the game setting, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, did not become a Buddha after he went to the West. The Heavenly Court and the Spirited Mountain were full of schemes. He wanted to resign from the Buddha position and return to the Flower and Fruit Mountain, but he was chased by the Heavenly Court. In the end, he was defeated by Erlang Shen. His body was divided into six pieces, and the six " roots " were divided into five big demons. After that, the player would transform into an ordinary monkey and become a " destined man." Under the guidance of the mysterious old monkey, they would embark on a journey to the west that was full of unknowns and challenges. They would have to face ferocious demons, the pursuit of the Heavenly Court and the Spirited Mountain, and countless conspiracies and traps. The characters in the game were more complicated. For example, Elder Jin Chi had become a ghost with a black bear spirit behind him, the Bull Demon King's wife was separated, and the spider spirit Zi Zhu 'er and Zhu Bajie had a love story. At the same time, the game revealed that the Heavenly Court and Spirited Mountain were not as holy as they seemed. They cared about power and interests, and even divided the "six roots" of Sun Wukong to control the demons to consolidate their rule. The characters in the game had their own desires and struggles. There was no absolute good or evil. In addition, when the game was released on August 21, 2024, Steam showed that it was ranked first in China in terms of downloads, and it was also ranked first in the global rankings.

Black Mythology: Wukong was a domestically produced 3A masterpiece. On September 8, 2024, his symphony concert premiere was held in Nanshan, Shen Zhen. In terms of the game's storyline, the story after Journey to the West was full of depth. Although the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong had completed the process of obtaining scriptures and becoming a Buddha, he discovered that there were many dark sides to the Heavenly Court and Spirited Mountain. The process of obtaining scriptures was like a political show. He resigned from his Buddhist position and wanted to return to the Flowerfruit Mountain to be the Monkey King, but he was hunted by the Heavenly Court. When he fought with Erlang Shen again, he was affected by the Golden Hoop Incantation and fell to the ground in pain. His body was divided into six pieces and distributed to the five great demons. After his " Six Roots " were taken away, a new story began. The player turned into an ordinary monkey and became a " destined person ". He inherited Sun Wukong's will and embarked on the journey to the West. Along the way, there would be a mysterious old monkey guiding him. The journey was more dangerous than when Tang Sanzang was learning from the scriptures. He faced demons, the Heavenly Court, the Holy Mountain, and many traps. For example, in the plot of the Yellow Wind Ridge, there were many plots and characters in the Shamen Village. For example, the King of Sand, whose country was formerly known as the Quicksand Kingdom, had a series of stories developed because of the Sunset Drum given by Buddha. Later, the King of Sand sought refuge with the Yellow Wind Monster in order to revive himself. There were also several sons of the King of Sand who had different situations and personalities. From a deeper perspective, the popularity of the game not only reflected the appeal of China culture, but also reflected the deep game of chip technology in the AI era. In the past, it was difficult for China to compete with European, American, and Japanese companies in the cultural industry and high-tech fields. Now, with the rise of AI, the graphics chip was the core of the game's dazzling graphics, but it was highly monopolized by the United States. China needed to develop game masterpieces to drive chip demand, and then get rid of the situation of being stuck. In addition, the game also had an anime version, with many episodes updated in 2024.
