Black Myth Wukong already one of Steam Top Sellers, pre-order cracks Top 10

The highly anticipated Black Myth Wukong has already secured a spot in Steam's Top 10 sellers with pre-orders alone.

This souls-like game's sheer hype and anticipation seem to have already broken Steam records.

Here's a deeper look at Black Myth Wukong and its rising status in the Steam Top Sellers ahead of the game's actual release.

Black Myth Wukong seems to be doing wonders as it is rapidly climbing the Steam Top Sellers chart, which is a stunning achievement for a game that is yet to be released. In other words, the game pre-orders earned it a spot in the Top Sellers list.

Records in the Steam Top Sellers page and SteamDB charts are proof of this amazing feat by the developers. It is even more remarkable that this title is coming from Game Science, a relatively unknown studio that has generated unforeseen hype around its debut title.

The year 2024 is filled with stellar titles, including Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, hailed as one of the greatest DLC expansions, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Persona 3: Reload. With impressive sales already and immense hype, Black Myth Wukong might be an emerging contender for the Game of The Year (GOTY) award.

It is important to know that this game is still climbing the charts, and it might reach even greater heights after the game's actual release on August 20, 2024. This action RPG is inspired by the Chinese legend of the Monkey King and follows a souls-like play for the most part.

The title's sudden rise to fame bears a striking similarity to another underdog breakout hit, Lies of P. Both of these titles captured audiences with their unique blend of action, RPG elements, and a dark tale inspired by fantastical elements.

With its release day nearing, it will be interesting to see if Game Science's debut brainchild can maintain its momentum and deliver on the promise that has been shown in its stunning trailers. Only time will tell if this new take on the Monkey King will live up to its hype.
