The highly anticipated Chinese 3A game, ‘Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber: Monkey King’, has garnered immense global attention since its launch, drawing the interest of not only players but also renowned individuals. Today, tech magnate Elon Musk took to social media to express his admiration for the game.
Musk, known for his unique approach to sharing information, shared a post praising the game, calling it an impressive Chinese 3A masterpiece. In an amusing twist, he also added a photo edit featuring his own face replacing the character Tianming Ren, which surprisingly blended seamlessly with the game’s visuals.
The success of ‘Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber: Monkey King’ has been undeniable. According to Video Game Insights, the game’s sales have climbed steadily to 17.8 million copies as of September 4, a growth of nearly 3 million from the previous week. This figure does not include sales from Wegame and PS5, and if the confirmed 3 million sales on PS5 are included, the total sales could surpass 20 million.
This achievement is particularly impressive considering that the game surpassed the first-week sales of the popular game Elden Ring in just four days and reached nearly 20 million in two weeks. It also outpaces the current 15 million sales of Baldur’s Gate 3 by nearly 500,000 copies, setting new sales records.
Gamalytic’s data reveals that the majority of the game’s players are from China, accounting for 80.7% of the user base. However, the proportion of overseas players is on the rise, increasing from 18.6% to 19.3% in just nine days.
One YouTuber, Legendary Drops, has given the game high praise, noting that it has broken the long-standing thematic limitations of the Western gaming industry. The game’s rich Chinese cultural elements and innovative gameplay experience have left Western players in awe.
As ‘Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber: Monkey King’ continues to break records and gain international acclaim, it is clear that this 3A game has made a significant impact on the global gaming scene. With the support of influential figures like Elon Musk and positive feedback from both domestic and international players, the future of this game seems bright.
