PS: There is no best music, Feng Ji is crying~

While "Black Myth: Wukong" received a key nomination in the world's most authoritative award known as the "Oscar of the game industry", it also proved to everyone the problem that has been hotly discussed for nearly half a year: "Black Myth: Wukong" has not only set off a wave among Chinese people, but has also been recognized by players all over the world!

It is understood that "Black Myth: Wukong" has sold more than 22 million copies on the Steam platform, with a total revenue of more than 1.1 billion US dollars (about 7.968 billion yuan). The physical PS5 version of the game is scheduled to be released in North America, South America, Europe and Australia on December 12, and is expected to be released in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea and Southeast Asia on January 16, 2025.

By the way, I almost forgot to say that even the TGA official officially entered Weibo last night, which caused widespread discussion among netizens! Netizens said that this wave came for the sake of black myths~

TGA:

The full name is The Game Awards, which is hosted and hosted by Jeff Gisley, a well-known Canadian game media person, to recognize the outstanding games released in the past year, and the awards ceremony is held in Latin America in early December each year, awarding more than 20 awards including Game of the Year (Game of The Year), of which, every year, " The Game of The Year award is considered one of the most important honors in the gaming industry.

And TGA said on Weibo that it will start the live broadcast on time at 8:30 a.m. Beijing time on December 13 to share the excitement with players around the world!

Back in 2016, the TGA (The Game Awards) was almost a distant existence for the Chinese gaming industry. There is neither live streaming nor a way to vote in China, let alone a domestic game that can be shortlisted. For domestic console and stand-alone gamers, they can only find their own channels to discuss through the screen with a hint of envy! Now the nomination of "Black Myth: Wukong" has undoubtedly made domestic players surging~

In addition to the domestic game "Black Myth: Wukong" was nominated, the other 5 games nominated are "Elden Ring: Shadow of the Golden Tree", "Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth", "Metaphorical Fantasy", "Cosmic Robot", and "Clown Card", these 5 games will compete with "Black Myth: Wukong" for the TGA Game of the Year.

The TGA Game of the Year list over the years has also been written for you: 2014: "Dragon Age: Judgment", 2015: "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt", 2016: "Overwatch", 2017: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", 2018: "God of War", 2019: "Wolf: Shadow Passed Twice", 2020: "The Last of Us 2", 2021: "It Takes Two", 2022: "Elden Ring", 2023: "Baldur's Gate 3".

After the TGA nominations were announced, Black Myth: Wukong became the first domestic work to be shortlisted for the TGA Game of the Year, an unprecedented achievement that opened a new chapter in history! As for whether it can win the best of the year! Ultimately, it depends on the jury's preference. After all, the TGA is not an award that relies solely on player voting!

Judging from the fact that the TGA did not hesitate to change the rules in order to include Elden Ring's DLC "Shadow of the Golden Tree" in the selection scope, it is likely that "Elden Ring" will be particularly favored this time.

Translation: Are DLCs, expansions, and remastered/HD versions eligible? The goal of The Game Awards is to recognize the best creative and technical achievements each year, regardless of the form in which the content is published. So, expansions, new seasons, DLCs, remasters, and HD versions can be judged in all categories, as long as the jury deems the new additions creative and technical enough to be nominated. In the judging, the novelty of the new content and its price and value are taken into account.

In addition, before the launch of Black Myth: Wukong, Palu the Phantom Beast, which was the second most player in Steam history, did not receive any nominations in this TGA2024! It disappointed many fans!

The person in charge of the studio of "Phantom Beast Palu" posted on X-Te that "Phantom Beast Palu" has not been left out in the cold, and there are not so many conspiracies!

One of the main reasons for not being nominated may be that Phantom Beast Palu is still in Early Access at the moment, and the TGA usually doesn't consider games that are still in early access; Another possible reason is that Nintendo's side may have exerted influence!

In short, is there a behind-the-scenes operation, and in the end, can Black Myth: Wukong win the best of the year, or just appear as a chaperone? Let's meet together at 8:30 a.m. Beijing time on December 13 to reveal the answer speaker in the TGA live broadcast!

Finally, I will use Feng Ji's sentence as the end of today's article: Embarking on the road of learning scriptures is more important than arriving at Lingshan.
