The popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong" continues to rise, and it was recently revealed to have plagiarized.

On August 23, "Sai Shang Li Yunzhong" posted a Weibo with a picture from the "Monkey King's Body" chapter in "Black Myth: Wukong", which was similar to the posture of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West Character Atlas" published in 2012. He said, "It seems that the Monkey King drawn for me has changed his equipment."

Regarding the above similarities, netizens have different opinions. Some netizens questioned, "Can postures also be identified as plagiarism?", some netizens expressed dissatisfaction, "The postures are exactly the same. Unless this game can produce evidence that Figure 1 was drawn earlier than 2012", and some netizens gave a precautionary shot to protect the blogger, "Teacher Li Yunzhong never accused art plagiarism from the beginning to the end, he said it might be borrowed. I hope Black Myth fans will not get stressed."

However, compared to Li Yunzhong, another blogger's expression was more direct.

Just the day before, the blogger "Xuan鏐108", who was certified as a third-level craftsman on Weibo, posted a Weibo post comparing the armband of Yang Jian in "Black Myth: Wukong" with the armbands he had designed in the past, and lamented, "It's been plagiarized again. Is it so difficult to be original?" Then, a blogger posted a video, comparing the details of Yang Jian's armband in the game "Black Myth: Wukong" with the blogger's past works one by one, to prove the plagiarism.

In addition, the blogger "Nanshan Zen" who shares statues in grottoes, temples, and museums also posted a post comparing the pictures taken in the past with the pictures in the game, and directly @ed the producer Feng Ji, saying "Hello Wukong, I was not informed when using Monkey King's pictures. Please contact me if you see it. Thank you."

It is understood that Li Yunzhong is a young painter from Inner Mongolia, known as the first person to paint "Journey to the West". The blogger of "Xuanlu 108" is Li Hui, a Chinese armor artist and Beijing arts and crafts master.

Currently, Black Myth: Wukong continues to earn money. The number of concurrent online players is still rising. According to SteamDB data, after breaking through 2.2 million on the first day of its release and 2.35 million on the second day, the number of concurrent online players on Steam for Black Myth: Wukong broke through 2.4 million on the third day (August 22).

According to statistics from the domestic game best-selling list, "Black Myth: Wukong" has sold more than 3 million copies on Steam. Together with Wegame, Epic and PS platforms, the total sales volume currently exceeds 4.5 million copies, with total sales exceeding 1.5 billion yuan.
