Shape-shifting monkeys wielding magic staffs battled giant demons as players worldwide dived into "Black Myth: Wukong", already hailed as one of the most successful Chinese-made video games.
"Black Myth" was released globally on Tuesday and enjoyed one of the best opening days, as measured by the number of players on gaming platform Steam, and sold nearly 1.2 million pre-release copies.
Gamer Li Song told AFP at a video shop in Beijing he bought it as soon as it was available for pre-order.
"It feels good," the 41-year-old said as his character scampered around a lush forest, dodging attacks from furry beasts before transforming into an insect.
"The controls and overall experience are solid," Li said.
