Game Science CEO Feng Ji expressed disappointment after Black Myth: Wukong missed out on Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, despite winning Best Action Game and the Player's Voice award.

In a candid Weibo post, Feng Ji revealed he had written his Game of the Year acceptance speech two years ago, questioning the selection criteria and stating his trip to Los Angeles was "for nothing." The game had received four major nominations, including Best Art Direction and Best Game Direction.

"It's normal to be a little angry when you are so confident but not recognized by others," Feng Ji wrote, addressing the gaming community's discourse following Astrobot's victory. He maintained optimism about Chinese developers achieving global success, noting Wukong's strong performance in Western markets.

The CEO's remarks have sparked controversy, particularly as other nominees accepted the results without complaint. His comments add to ongoing discussions about gaming industry awards and recognition, though they may impact some players' perception of the game.

Black Myth: Wukong's achievements at The Game Awards, including two victories, demonstrate its significant impact on the gaming industry, regardless of missing out on the top prize.
