Fantastic Crossover! Han Qiaosheng: I’ve Been Flooded with Screenshots of a Certain Journey to the West-Related Game, Which is Said to be as Significant as the Chinese National Team Qualifying for the World Cup

On August 20th, a single-player game titled “Black Myth: Sun Wukong,” related to Journey to the West, was released and quickly sparked heated discussions. Media personality Han Qiaosheng posted on social media about being flooded with screenshots of the game. His friend described its significance as being comparable to the Chinese national team qualifying for the World Cup.

The Chinese national team will also be competing in the World Cup qualifiers starting in September, facing Japan on September 5th at 18:35, and hosting Saudi Arabia on September 10th at 20:00.

Han Qiaosheng’s original post on social media:

I was flooded with screenshots of “Black Myth: Sun Wukong” tonight. Although I don’t play single-player games much myself, I was still amazed by the stunning visuals and detailed scenes! I never thought that Journey to the West could enter the lives of young people in such a way.

But I still didn’t understand why it was so popular, so I asked a young friend for advice. The friend excitedly told me: Teacher Han, “Black Myth: Sun Wukong” has ended China’s 20-year drought without a major single-player game release. Its significance is similar to the Chinese national team qualifying for the World Cup!

Interestingly, the Chinese national team qualified for the World Cup in 2002, which is now 22 years ago. A AAA title represents the pinnacle of a country’s software industry and entertainment aesthetics! Looking forward to the rise of China’s AAA gaming beacon!
