This seems to be mostly driven by Chinese gamers wanting to play it for the Chinese mythology theme; I wonder if we’ll see a huge influx of other Chinese mythology related games in the coming months, trying to capitalize on this.
Kinda diff. It’s just an influential Chinese story - well known in the country.
The Sun Wukong (Chinese: 孫悟空, pronounced [swə́n ûkʰʊ́ŋ]) is a literary and religious figure best known as one of the main characters in the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West.[1]
I’m not knowledgeable enough about Chinese mythology (popular or not) to be able to comment on that, but it does seem to be very under-explored as a genre; it’s neat that it’s getting a spotlight. I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about the game personally, but it’s always cool to see a studio try something new - even if it’s only new in theming - and be successful with it. I’d much rather Wukong be wildly successful than another Call of Duty game or whatever.
What’s even your point here? You’re suggesting the person you’re originally replying to is part of the demographic that seems to enjoy a game, so their enjoyment of that game is cheapened in some way? If anything that makes them more qualified to talk about it than you are.
Monkey King: Hero Is Back made 153 million dollars. Warframe is 11 years old, and currently has an annual revenue higher than 153 million. Warframe is the bigger game.

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?

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.

Sun Wukong is not any Chinese mythology, he’s hugely popular. This is like Star War or Lord of the Ring getting the first AAA game ever.

Total DragonBall ripoff.

Judging by your incredibly broken English, you may be biased.
Judging buy your less broken English, you may be biased.
It’s almost like everyone has biases. 🤔
That diversion, a weak argument tactic.

Seriously, just let people enjoy things.
“Star War”, “Lord of the Ring”
Seriously?
Also your first sentence makes no sense. I think you tried to say “Sun Wykong is not just any random Chinese mythology, it’s a hugely popular one.”
Not everyone is a native English speaker. You get what they’re saying, stop being so rude
Sun Wukong is already in Warframe, a game with 50 million players.
And a ton of other games
Was published by Sony/THQ 5 years ago, I would say that fits AAA a lot more than this indie game
Monkey King: Hero Is Back made 153 million dollars. Warframe is 11 years old, and currently has an annual revenue higher than 153 million. Warframe is the bigger game.
Indie game refers to Black Myth and success doesn’t relate to A,AA,AAA

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.
