  • China's video game industry has had some huge, global hits in the past few years with games like Black Myth: Wukong and Genshin Impact. But we have yet to see equivalent success from games made in India - which has a similarly-sized population of around 1.

The article discusses the potential for India's gaming industry to achieve a breakthrough similar to the anticipated success of "Black Myth: Wukong," a game that has garnered significant attention for its high-quality production and cultural representation.
