Game Science’s CEO and founder, Yocar-Feng Ji, recently discussed Black Myth Wukong not winning GOTY at The Game Awards 2024.
Spotted by TheGamer, Yocar-Feng Ji took to the Chinese social media platform, Weibo, to express his dissatisfaction with Black Myth Wukong losing out on GOTY at TGA 2024. Feng Ji first spoke about how the award ceremony came along simultaneously with their ‘relatively large update‘ for the title and how this project has spanned 7 years. He then talks about how the game was nominated across four categories and won the Best Action Game and Players’ Voice award, with the latter being more satisfying.
Feng Ji reveals that he had “a sense of loss and regret” (as translated by ChatGPT on r/PS5) with Wukong not winning GOTY and states that the games nominated “were all exceptional”. However, he “can’t determine the criteria” for GOTY this year. Feng Ji said that he feels he came all the way to Los Angeles “for nothing”.
Feng Ji added that he was very confident about Black Myth Wukong winning GOTY at The Game Awards 2024, so sure that he had written his acceptance speech “two years ago”.
Nevertheless, Black Myth Wukong has been a massive success for Game Science, selling over 10 million copies and breaking several concurrent player records on Steam.

Everyone felt they were robbed except the activists who make these decisions and influencer shills like maximilian dood. Palworld, Stellar Blade, The First Descendant, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Epic Mickey Rebrushed, Antonblast, so many titles were snubbed or robbed. Pizza Tower was robbed last year for indie. The awards are useless anyway hopefully they don’t reveal with Geoff anymore all these studios and publishers need to avoid giving him money.
