Hangzhou is buzzing with creative energy as the 21st China International Cartoon and Animation Festival (CICAF) lights up the city! 🏙️ This year’s event has become a global hotspot for ACG fans, blending cutting-edge tech with timeless storytelling—and one legendary hero is leading the charge.
🔥 The breakout star? Black Myth: Wukong, a game that’s rewriting the rules of cultural crossover. With jaw-dropping visuals inspired by Chinese mythology and gameplay smoother than a TikTok dance trend, it’s no wonder this title has racked up 2 million wishlists on Steam before its 2025 release. One cosplayer at the event told us: "It’s like playing through a Journey to the West blockbuster—but you’re the Monkey King!" 🐒💥
Organizers say this year’s CICAF highlights China’s growing influence in global pop culture, with 85+ countries streaming panels on AI-driven animation and indie comic workshops. For gamers and mythology lovers alike, Wukong’s digital reinvention proves ancient stories can still pack a modern punch. 🚀
