The Black Myth: Wukong gaming craze has spilled into real life as its orchestral concert tour draws sold-out crowds across the Chinese mainland. Inspired by the legendary Journey to the West, the action RPG’s haunting soundtrack came alive at Beijing Exhibition Theatre this week – complete with gamer cosplay and epic vibes 🎻✨.
Developed by Game Science and co-produced with Poly Culture Group, the tour merges classical music with digital-age storytelling. Fans cheered as thunderous drums echoed Sun Wukong’s in-game battles, proving gaming soundtracks are now mainstage material.
Composer XXX (name withheld) told CGTN: \"We wanted players to feel the myth’s heartbeat – not just through controllers, but through every note.\" Attendees agreed, with one calling it \"’ meets ’ 🐒🎵.
The tour’s success highlights China’s growing influence in global gaming culture – and how ancient tales are finding new life through Gen Z’s favorite medium 🌍👾.
