China's latest video game, Black Myth: Wukong, has gone viral this week, bringing the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West to audiences worldwide. With its incredible visuals, the game is establishing China as a gaming powerhouse — a surprising feat for a country where gaming consoles were once banned. ABC Chinese journalist Kai Feng explains why this game is so popular and what it means for China's soft power.
You might think of video game development as something that happens overseas, but for a while now, Australians too have been making their mark in the world of video games. Incredibly popular titles from the past decade of gaming, including smash hits like Hollow Knight and Untitled Goose Game, were made here in Australia by small, indie development teams.
