Black Myth: Wukong is about to be officially launched. According to data, since the pre-order was opened on June 8, the pre-sale of Black Myth has been very popular. As of July 19, its pre-sale sales have reached 1.2 million copies, and the global pre-sale amount has exceeded 400 million yuan. This result is very impressive for a new domestic game.


Previously, Feng Ji, founder of Game Science, revealed that "the development cost of Black Myth: Wukong is about 15 million to 20 million yuan per player per hour. The team estimated that the overall game duration will reach more than 15 hours, while the actual development time is more than 1.5 times this time. Based on this benchmark, the development cost will be at least 400 million yuan."

Currently, the PC standard version of Black Myth: Wukong is priced at 268 yuan, and the digital deluxe version is priced at 328 yuan. Based on this price, Game Science needs to sell at least 3 million copies to make a profit, but many players and industry insiders are very optimistic about this.


"The IP of Black Myth: Wukong has all the elements that a hit game should have, including a super IP (Sun Wukong), unique cultural heritage, and excellent game production. Before this, domestic 3A games were still a blue ocean. Since such games require a large number of people, high costs, and a long time, many companies still hope to 'make quick money'. However, with the success of Black Myth: Wukong, there will definitely be more and more high-quality domestic 3A games in the future."

Currently, "Black Myth: Wukong" has become a huge hit, especially after it was jointly announced with popular brands such as Luckin Coffee and Didi, it has received unprecedented attention and has become extremely popular.
