As soon as it hit the market, the action role-playing game Black Myth: Wukong crushed almost all of the competition.
Even before its actual release, the action role-playing game Black Myth: Wukong caused quite a stir. It started with the initial fascination with the impressive graphics . A short time later, the title from developer Game Science jumped to the top of the list of most requested games on Steam . Just recently, it even managed to break an absolutely historic record ; nothing seems to be able to stand in its way. But all of this was probably just the beginning of an incredible success story – the records are currently falling like flies .
What is Black Myth: Wukong actually about?
Black Myth: Wukung is at times strikingly reminiscent of Soulslike masterpieces such as Dark Souls , Bloodborne or Elden Ring . In the new action role-playing game from Game Science, you fight your way through sometimes very dark scenes and have to deal with really tough boss enemies . If you don’t study their attack and movement patterns very carefully or learn them by heart, you don’t stand a chance against these tough guys .
In contrast to the games from developer FromSoftware mentioned above , Black Myth: Wukong has a big special feature that is also a unique selling point. Instead of equipping the hero with better and better equipment , he always wields the same battle staff. But the battles are by no means boring: There are different stances available, which in turn lead to different fighting styles. The skillful switching between these variants is one of the keys to success . Speaking of success: Black Myth currently has more than enough of that.
Black Myth: Wukong breaks historic records
Today, Tuesday, August 20, 2024, after a long wait, the official launch of Black Myth: Wukong was finally given . The euphoria that had already arisen beforehand was by no means a short-lived hype, the action role-playing game is currently going through the roof. Especially on Steam, it is currently breaking one incredible record after another .
Black Myth: Wukong’s current peak is just over 2.2 million concurrent active players . This makes it the most successful single-player game of all time on Steam in this category . Even the equally popular Cyberpunk 2077 (1.05 million) can’t even come close to keeping up. But that’s not all.
Due to its current success, Black Myth: Wukong is now in second place in the all-time rankings on SteamLong-running hits like Counter-Strike 2 or Palworld don’t stand a chance and continue to slide down. This means that only the multiplayer shooter PUBG Battlegrounds, with a peak of 3.3 million simultaneously active players, is ahead of Black Myth – a record for eternity? The next few days will show.
