Investor Daniel Wu Scores Big as ‘Wukong’ Breaks Sales Records

Daniel Wu, the main investor behind Black Myth: Wukong, has seen massive returns as the game sold 18 million copies within just two weeks. His company, Hero Games, took a huge risk by heavily investing in Game Science, the game’s creator, with a $70 million budget over six years. Despite the game industry in China being largely focused on mobile, Wukong’s success shows China’s potential to produce world-class console and PC games. Game Science is now worth several billion yuan, with plans to expand Wukong and potentially create more games based on Chinese mythology.
