What is a 3A masterpiece?
3A masterpieces usually refer to games with high development costs (a lot of money), long development cycles (a lot of time), and high resource consumption (a lot of resources). These games generally have high quality, large development teams, high development budgets, high visual and auditory effects, perfect combination of art and technology, and outstanding ease of use.
3A games represent the pinnacle of production quality, top technology and huge market influence. They are not only entertainment products, but also the perfect combination of technology, art and business. 3A games not only define the highest standards of the industry, but also become the golden benchmark in the minds of global players.

Why is Black Myth Wukong so popular?
For a long time, the production of 3A games has been basically controlled by game developers in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries. In the field of domestic games, although many excellent works have been launched, before Black Myth Wukong, no single-player game has reached the international 3A game level, nor has it been so concerned by global media and players before it was launched.
“Chinese people do not have the strength to make 3A game masterpieces” “China does not have the soil for 3A games to grow”… For a long time, these statements are almost a factual description of the domestic game market and a helpless consensus of the majority of game players.
The aura of the Journey to the West theme, the desire for domestic 3A masterpieces, and even the hope for cultural inheritance are all placed on “Black Myth Wukong”. As Black Myth Wukong is about to “break out of the stone”, domestic 3A games will finally be subject to the heavy test of the market and players.
Judging from the current development results, the graphics of Black Myth Wukong have reached a very high level, and the unique classical scenes also make domestic 3A games more Chinese.
Industry insiders said that the reason why 3A games are regarded as the top works in the game industry is that they pursue excellence in content, plot and art, focus on inheritance and promotion of cultural values, and pursue continuous innovation in technology. An excellent 3A masterpiece not only represents the high level of a country in the game industry, but also symbolizes the country’s cultural soft power and technical strength.
The significance behind the explosion of Black Myth Wukong
First of all, the game fully reflects the excellent traditional Chinese culture in character design and scene design. The image of the character Sun Wukong not only retains the basic characteristics of the original work, but also innovates in details. The scene design is deeply drawn from China’s famous mountains, rivers and ancient buildings.
In addition, the game uses the world’s leading “Unreal 5” development engine, which has achieved movie-level picture quality, which is also an important factor in attracting global players. Industry insiders believe that the popularity of Black Myth Wukong is the inevitable result of cultural confidence and a new expression of the vigorous vitality of traditional culture.
The success of Black Myth Wukong has had a profound impact on the Chinese game industry. Within just five minutes of the pre-sale opening, all pre-sale products were sold out, becoming the most watched product in the game industry this year. This game not only meets the expectations of players for domestic masterpieces, but also gives the entire industry great confidence and inspiration. Industry insiders believe that the success of “Black Myth Wukong” will inspire more Chinese game developers to pursue high-quality games and promote the progress of the domestic game industry.
The success of Black Myth Wukong is not only the success of a game product, but also the success of Chinese cultural output. The character design, scene design and props in the game reflect Chinese culture, and these elements have attracted widespread attention worldwide.
The explosion of the game proves that Chinese games have the ability to break the long-term monopoly of European and American companies in the field of high-end games, and open up a new channel for the internationalization of Chinese games. The cultural output of this game is of great significance. It not only shows the charm of Chinese traditional culture, but also provides a new window for the world to understand Chinese culture.
Why were there no 3A games in China before this?
1. One of the reasons why it is difficult to have 3A games in China is that compared with foreign countries, China lacks such a large R&D team and a long R&D cycle.
2. The domestic game market is mainly occupied by mobile games and web games, which have a short development cycle and a fast return on investment, so they are more favored by game companies.
3. Domestic players have a relatively low acceptance of 3A masterpieces, which makes 3A games a relatively niche product in the domestic market.
4. Domestic hardware equipment is relatively insufficient, such as high-end computers are not popular, which also limits the popularity of 3A games in the domestic market.
5. Domestic game companies are technically capable of developing 3A games, but in the current environment, the risks are high and the returns are not stable.
With the improvement of domestic hardware level and the increase in players’ acceptance of 3A games, I believe that more 3A games will appear in the domestic market in the future.
Conclusion:
The response to the launch of Black Myth Wukong has given us a good start. It is undoubtedly very good news for all partners who love games and our Chinese culture. We can believe that this is the beginning of our domestic 3A masterpiece games. Next, better and higher-quality works will emerge like mushrooms after rain. Let us look forward to it together!
