Future of Chinese Gaming

Just like me, many fans were disappointed for Black Myth Wukong for not winning the Game of the Year award this year. Astro Bot was really good, but I believe that Black Myth deserved to win.

Game Science became the first Chinese game studio to be nominated in multiple major categories, including Game of the Year. What’s even more surprising is that this was the first game they made.

Game of the Year miss leads to reflection

In a Weibo blog post, Feng Ji, CEO of Game Science, shared his thoughts about the game’s success and loss at The Game Awards 2024. He was a little disappointed that they were not able to win the Game of the Year award.

However, the studio was very happy with winning the Best Action Game and Player’s Voice award with their first game. Feng focused on the game’s journey, describing it as the climax of a seven-year undertaking. His comments were full of pride in the team’s accomplishments for Black Myth Wukong.

The CEO acknowledged the community’s reaction, primarily through humor and memes, which he found amusing and indicative of common discontent. He empathized with the fans’ emotions, saying, “I completely understand these feelings of discontent and frustration because I know they don’t stem from pain or malice but from self-esteem and confidence.”

He also felt a little bitter about Astro Bot winning the GOTY. Here’s what he has to say about that, “I feel like I came all this way for nothing, after winning two awards but not Goty, this is very bitter for me personally.”

But he was grateful that their first game “Black Myth Wukong” was able to participate in such a big event and even won two awards that night.

“Game Science was fortunate to participate in and witness the beginning of this trend. I believe that in the future, more of our peers will bring higher-quality, more engaging, and more confident Chinese stories to the world,” he concluded.
