It's just first PRC AAA game. It's pretty good or rather not bad. Curious Chinese consumers (of which there are many) voting with their wallets because they want more. Helps that it's based on significant literary canon, think LOTR + harry potter + Shakespeare with 500 years of cultural presence. Total War Three Kingdoms also sold well due to PRC consumers, an indigenous production just gets even more attention. I think the game is pretty mid like most assassin's creed games but I like the environment design and how production scanned a lot of temples.
- hkmaxpro 2y agoGenshin Impact from miHoYo is also a PRC AAA game before Wukong, but it’s a copycat of the Japanese ACG culture rather than the Chinese culture in Wukong: https://expertbeacon.com/is-genshin-a-aaa-game/ https://expertbeacon.com/is-genshin-a-aaa-game/

Wukong signally there's potential market to justify PRC studios / investors spending 40-50M on big single player productions. I don't think subsequent efforts are going to bring in nearly as much due to Wukong being first/novelty, but it's progress towards establishing market other than live service. Of course knowing PRC media scape, we're just going to get increasingly large budget wuxia rehashes.
