Players seem to agree.

By that metric, it’s the platform’s most popular strictly single player game of all the time.

It was shared on Bluesky byFrench journalist Benoit Reinierover the weekend and subsequently written up byForbesandVideoGames SI.

The player in Black Myth: Wukong faces off against an undead sword-wielding enemy in a snowy landscape.

IGN have also nowverified it, citing an anonymous source.

I’ve asked Game Science for a comment on the matter, but I haven’t had anything back.

Under “Do’s”, we find only “enjoy the game!”

Under “Don’ts”, we find the below:

Do NOT insult other influencers or players.

Do NOT use any offensive language/humor.

Do NOT use trigger words such as ‘quarantine’ or ‘isolation’ or ‘COVID-19’.

Do NOT discuss content related to China’s game industry policies, opinions, news, etc.

I’ll let you know if I hear anything back from the developers.
