Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

This press conference for "Black Myth: Wukong" was broadcast live. ☜🍪 ➅❾ѕн𝓤Ж.Cσ๓ ♣💝

However, to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring during the live stream, there is still a delay of about ten minutes.

After the press conference video ended.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments.

"Has Mr. Li finally made a move after being silent for so long?"

"Wow, a domestic masterpiece has appeared! It's amazing!"

"If the game can reach 70% of the video quality, I'll buy it immediately!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room are not as tactful as the media present at the scene.

They immediately started celebrating!

Am I dreaming?!

The day has finally come when domestically produced single-player games rise to prominence.

The users watching the live stream and the media present at the scene are just a microcosm. Compared to gamers worldwide who love single-player games, they are definitely a very, very small minority.

However, the news of Snail Games releasing "Black Myth: Wukong" spread through various channels, including online chat and game forums.

In fact, Snail Games fans had already heard the news that Snail Games would release a new game.

But most people didn't expect that.

This time, Snail Games is releasing a true single-player masterpiece, not a mobile game.

Now that "Black Myth: Wukong" is about to be released, regardless of their previous expectations or skepticism.

Regardless of the game's actual quality, I have to experience it for myself. This is Snail Games' first single-player masterpiece, though it might not be entirely reliable.

It even tarnished Snail Games' reputation for producing high-quality games, but can Snail Games still be trusted? After all, Snail Games has a good track record and no history of breaking promises or teasing players.

Besides, if I don't try it out myself, and the game turns out to be really bad, I won't be able to complain about it with my friends. Wouldn't that make me seem like an outsider?

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Snail Games has launched the purchase link on time. The game also offers a 24-hour trial period; if you're not satisfied, you can get a refund within the time limit.

The prices, which weren't mentioned at the press conference, have now been announced. The standard edition of "Black Myth: Wukong" is 399, and the collector's deluxe edition is 699, which is indeed not cheap.

However, this did not dampen the public's enthusiasm and curiosity at all.

This wildly popular game has almost stolen the spotlight from other game developers on the market.

Aside from players who enjoy single-player games.

Some viewers were drawn by the reputation of Snail Games...

A large portion of them were just there to join the fun; most of them were just curious onlookers who wanted to see what kind of game "Black Myth: Wukong" really was.

At 9:11, the maintenance on the Snail Games platform finally ended.

Many people purchased, downloaded, and logged in.

As the game's music began to play. 👻♕ ➅❾𝓼ħⓤ𝕏.ᑕⓄｍ 👺♥

"There is no one in the Three Realms and Four Continents who cannot be saved."

"In this long night, right and wrong have been turned upside down."

"Sentient beings are entangled in love, hate, greed, anger, birth, and death."

"The law of cause and effect cannot be forgotten."

"Human desires are the way of Heaven..."

The girl's singing was accompanied by several large characters resembling ink paintings. A line of large characters appeared on the screen—"Black Myth: Wukong!" This short animation gave players who had downloaded the game goosebumps.

At this moment, even many gamers who had seen the footage presented at the launch event were stunned when they saw the actual gameplay.

The overall style of *Black Myth: Wukong* leans towards cool gray tones. The costumes are also simple yet grand, with a touch of realism. What players see everywhere is an atmosphere of antiquity…

At this point, these players forgot their original purpose and became completely immersed in the experience of "Black Wukong Myth," exploring this crazy, dark Journey to the West world.

……

Sun Ya is a game streamer, and recently he couldn't back out of his promise to stay up all night for his viewers. Originally, he planned to just casually play a couple of games, then watch a movie and that would be it.

But at this time, "Black Myth: Wukong" was also launched.

Although Sun Ya is older and his skill level is not as good as before, he is still exceptionally talented in single-player games.

At this moment, the barrage of comments started flooding in with "Black Myth: Wukong". Sun Ya couldn't resist the barrage's dominance, and he had also heard of the famous "Black Myth".

Sun Ya watched the gameplay demo of "Black Myth".

He couldn't help but touch his increasingly thinning hair and exclaim, "Snail Games is really something else! Just the special effects at the beginning alone must have cost millions!"

"As expected, a masterpiece that cost money is truly different."

In fact, the viewers in the live stream felt the same way.

Although most viewers may not provide the same level of professionalism as professional media.

But whether a game's graphics are detailed or its scenes are exquisite, these most basic things can't be faked; they're obvious at a glance.

Sun Ya and the viewers in the live stream were both amazed by the game's opening sequence. At the same time, almost all the players who had purchased "Black Myth" felt a sense of novelty.

This is not surprising.

A player's evaluation of whether a game is fun or not.

The most basic requirement is that the gameplay must be interesting. Even if it's purely about grinding, it needs to have its own unique features. At the same time, the gameplay must be excellent; Snail Games excels in this aspect.

In addition, the game's graphics are truly stunning. This stunning beauty isn't just about how exquisite the visuals are or how powerful the engine is.

Most importantly, the character designs must align with the feelings the game conveys, and the same applies to color and scene design. In Sun Ya's words, it just needs to look pleasing and be enjoyable, that's all that matters.

Sun Ya got excited while playing.

He found that in addition to excellent graphics, the game controls were also very comfortable with a good sense of impact, and the character's movements were natural.

Sun Ya can only describe Black Myth in one sentence.

It's really great!

…………

Three days passed quickly.

Snail Games' game received a high score of 88, which naturally made "Black Myth: Wukong" a "national game".

The so-called national games are mostly ancient games like Super Mario, Contra, and Tetris, which have become household names.

Or perhaps legend once dominated an era.

Black Myth: Wukong, on the other hand, ushered in a new era.

With the release of the game's 8 rating, game media outlets of all sizes finally went on a wild celebration.

Whether it's online forums, websites, or any other platform related to games, you can see people enthusiastically discussing "Black Myth".

Black Myth: Wukong has only been on the market for a week.

It has already broken the historical record for sales rankings!

In this context, thanks to the enthusiastic word-of-mouth promotion from players, the game's influence and popularity have once again reached a new level.

If you're still playing games, you've probably heard about this game from your friends. Now, almost no young person is unaware that this game is exceptionally good.

……

However, with the explosive popularity of "Black Myth".

Some experts have also begun to express opposing opinions.

They believe that although the game "Black Myth" can already be hailed as a milestone representative of domestic single-player games.

Before this, many people were pessimistic, believing that the domestic gaming environment would hardly produce true AAA titles.

However, they believe that the success of "Black Myth" was largely due to its subject matter.

The novel "Journey to the West," a uniquely Chinese cultural work, is designed to ignite a sense of pride in the Chinese people. A large part of its sales success is attributed to the patriotic sentiments of its players.

Some conservative experts argue that parodying is not the same as making things up, and adaptation is not the same as rewriting. They believe this dark version of Journey to the West has a very negative influence on teenagers, and that Snail Games' actions should be criticized.

Conversely, some foreign media outlets have offered their assessments.

On the contrary, it received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Black Myth: Wukong is a refinement and evolution of the genre, presenting a vast world that is both malevolent and incredibly alluring. While it can occasionally go a bit overboard, suffering has never been so enjoyable.

When will the English version be released?

!

Black Myth: Wukong is a flower blooming in the desert of single-player games, and it will also bring you into an incredible open world, allowing us to freely choose our own path.

Black Myth: Wukong has almost everything I've ever wanted in an Eastern game. It's full of Eastern mysticism, enough to satisfy most players with its additions, improvements, and depth.

In particular, your character can use a root spell to freeze monsters in place. You can also use "casting beans into soldiers," a game mechanic that was unimaginable before.

Black Myth: Wukong is a perfect fusion of various game elements, creating some captivating, unique, and unforgettable content. Black Myth: Wukong is not only one of the best games of the year, but also one of the best games of all time.

Snail Games' latest work is an open-world masterpiece that places exploration and player autonomy at its core.

Black Myth extracts fragments from previous works and forges them into a masterpiece that will be recorded in history:

This is a victory of design and creativity, and an open-world game that stands out by "doing nothing" rather than "doing something".

…………

In addition, some foreign game streamers also had hilarious performances.

Their performance was also very "vivid and expressive." These streamers were indeed very excited, which is hard to describe... Anyway, they seemed to be much more excited than domestic players!

Li Haoyu himself also watched a lot of the clips.

He even paused the video to watch the foreign anchors excitedly gesturing.

The thousands of comments below the video are almost all praising it! "I'm so glad that Snail Games Studio could fulfill my dream of playing a game based on Eastern mythology."

Even the creator of the masterpiece Dark Souls praised Black Myth: Wukong in the media without any harshness.

These positive reviews are genuine.

The impact of the pandemic was reflected in the sales of "Black Myth: Wukong".

Black Myth: Wukong was only released for one week.

According to backend statistics, 2000 million copies have been sold.

According to the latest weekly game sales charts released by foreign game companies, "Black Myth: Wukong" unsurprisingly took the top spot. The only remaining question is how many weeks "Black Myth: Wukong" will remain at the top.

Another point worth noting is that this data only includes players who purchased the game from the Snail Games official website.

Players who purchased "Black Myth: Wukong" through partner channels are not yet included in the statistics. Therefore, theoretically, this means that the actual sales of "Black Myth: Wukong" are likely even higher.

As sales of "Black Myth: Wukong" continue to rise, it has also spawned a large number of hardcore fans who enjoy studying the plot development and character relationships of console games.

The newly emerging die-hard fans of "Black Myth: Wukong" call themselves "monkey scholars".

One of the well-known Bilibili up-masters is Wang Wang, a representative figure of "monkey scholars". He initially gained his first batch of fans with his "Sharp Review of Game Trends" review of "2048".

Years have passed, and Wang Wang has gone from a foot-themed content creator to the top gaming content creator, even being named one of the top 100 content creators for several consecutive years. Now, he's long been Snail Games' number one "hype man."

He's currently busy making a strategy video for defeating the first boss.

.........

With the public's praise for "Black Myth: Wukong".

It has repeatedly broken the sales charts for games, and even people who are not interested in games have started discussing it over tea.

Only one week had passed.

It seems everyone is hoping that Snail Games can break its own sales record again. Every era loves to create gods, to package ordinary people as great figures.

Moreover, Black Myth has been online for quite some time now.

The quality is indeed excellent, and it has won praise from countless players.

Surprisingly, Snail Games stopped actively promoting and advertising the game starting Monday. Instead, they fell silent.

Especially Li Haoyu, who stole the show at the press conference.

However, they disappeared from the mass media.

…………

Li Haoyu was with four women at this time.

Enjoying a leisurely sunbathing experience in Hawaii.

When he was a child, he didn't understand why old people would sit still in the sun for half a day.

Now Li Haoyu was slowly beginning to appreciate the feeling. He looked at Li Ke, Wang Manni, Gu Jia, and Zhong Xiaoqin, who were playing in the water in their swimsuits, and was filled with emotion.

Li Haoyu now understood what it truly meant to have memories everywhere he looked, thoughts of the past in his heart, and regrets in everything he saw.

For him now, it doesn't matter how well "Black Myth: Wukong" sells. Because right after the press conference ended, a virtual border appeared in front of Li Haoyu's eyes, visible only to him.

"The world of 'Nothing But Thirty' has been fully experienced. Countdown to return: 96:00..."

I never expected this parting to come so suddenly.

Li Haoyu originally planned to make a big splash after "Black Myth: Wukong" and build a real game empire, but now he has to put it on hold.

He chose to spend his last moments with the four women.

Zhong Xiaoqin noticed that Li Haoyu had been standing on the beach in a daze for a long time.

This surprised Zhong Xiaoqin. Usually, it wouldn't take long for Li Haoyu to find a way to get close to them and take advantage of them after they put on their swimsuits.

Li Haoyu is behaving very strangely today.

This made everyone feel a little strange.

They stopped playing around, and Zhong Xiaoqin, the most lively of them all, couldn't help but say, "I'll go check it out first, see what kind of trouble he's causing!"

Gu Jia suggested, "Then let's all go together!"

Li Haoyu also saw the four women walking towards him.

It was almost evening, and the setting sun had hidden half of itself, making the golden sunlight on the boundless sea exceptionally beautiful.

Li Haoyu also stood up and gave the four women a hug.

She was smiling brightly.
