Game Science

Game Science is a Chinese game studio founded in 2014 by Feng Ji (Yocar) and six colleagues who left Tencent, where they had worked on the *Asura* project . The team relocated from Shenzhen to Hangzhou, setting up in a secluded mountain workspace to focus on development . The studio is structured around seven partners who have stayed together through years of what their first investor described as shared hardship . Game Science spent years building mobile games before committing to its ambition: *Black Myth: Wukong*, a AAA single-player action game rooted in *Journey to the West* that launched in August 2024 after six years of development . Co-founder Yang Qi framed the decision to pursue the project as a response to the limited window of a creator's prime years . The game broke presale records with over 400 million RMB in sales and peaked at more than 1.4 million concurrent players on Steam at launch .
