Game Science

Game Science is a Chinese video game developer and publisher that made a significant splash on the global scene with the 2024 release of Black Myth: Wukong. The company was established on June 13, 2014, by Feng Ji and Yang Qi, who had previously collaborated on the MMO Asura during their time at Tencent. Game Science is based in Shenzhen, with an additional operational base in Hangzhou.

The studio's early work focused on mobile titles, including their 2015 collaboration with NetEase on Hundred Generals. They also developed the real-time strategy game Art of War: Red Tides, which earned acclaim and international recognition in 2017. This period allowed the team to build a strong foundation in game development before shifting towards more ambitious projects.

Their global breakthrough came with Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG drawing inspiration from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. The game achieved massive commercial success, selling millions of units worldwide and garnering critical praise. This has paved the way for the expansion of the Black Myth franchise, with future installments already in development. Game Science also runs its own merchandise brand, offering items related to their game universes, and continues to build its identity around action RPGs that fuse traditional Chinese folklore with contemporary game design.
