The Game Awards 2024 has concluded with the prestigious Game of the Year award going to Astro Bot, a surprising outcome given the strong competition from titles such as Black Myth: Wukong, which had been heavily favored by many predictions.
Game Science’s title, while highly anticipated, ultimately did not secure this accolade despite its impressive graphics and strong narrative throughout the year. The disappointment felt by many fans is palpable, especially considering the excitement generated around Black Myth: Wukong.
Indeed, Black Myth: Wukong has proven itself to be one of the standout titles of the past year, making its absence from the Game of the Year shortlist all the more notable.
Following the conclusion of The Game Awards, many fans of Black Myth: Wukong expressed their disappointment regarding this year’s results. Although Game Science’s title did not emerge victorious, it did secure two significant Game Awards for Best Action Game and Best Narrative, which reflects its strong reception among players. Nonetheless, there are still many who feel let down by this year’s Game Awards.
It is worth noting that many believe Astro Bot’s victory was well-deserved, but Black Myth: Wukong remains a strong contender with criteria that could easily place it in the spotlight for the title of Game of the Year 2024. Despite the results, Black Myth: Wukong’s fanbase is adamant that the game holds a special place in their hearts, as reflected in the phrase “The trophy in the hearts of gamers is the most valuable trophy.” Based on fan sentiment, it is likely that Black Myth: Wukong will continue to be celebrated as a Game of the Year contender next year.
Regardless of the outcomes, Black Myth: Wukong fans still have much to look forward to in the coming year. From significant updates to new DLC expansions expected to launch next year, there is a wealth of content that Black Myth: Wukong could bring to its players.
