Over the past 20 years of the online gaming industry in Vietnam, aside from various fantasy genres, content related to two of the great classic Chinese literary works has always garnered the affection of the gaming community. One of these is “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” and the other undoubtedly is Journey to the West.
However, while “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” has been frequently revived over the past two decades, “Journey to the West” has regrettably been less prominent. This is a disappointment for many, especially since “Journey to the West” with the character Sun Wukong is closely linked to the childhood of those who grew up in the late 80s to 90s.
Even Gen Z today surely knows of the legendary “Journey to the West,” a masterpiece that has been adapted annually with remarkable frequency like “Journey to the West.” The principles of the classic work still remain pertinent, resonating with the youthful audience, and are often associated with the games of that genre.
However, the anticipation for this title has been somewhat subdued in recent times. Due to various factors in April, a game with the theme of “Journey to the West” is set to be released in the Vietnamese market. Currently, this game is titled “Monkey King: Great War Journey to the West” – Gamota.
Speaking of Gamota, Vietnamese game developers are not far behind. Emerging in the Vietnamese market as a “rising star,” Gamota is known for publishing several popular mobile game products such as “Thien 3D,” “Tru Tien 3D,” etc. Gamota consistently ranks among the top game publishers in the country, continually delivering quality products for gamers.
Returning to “Monkey King: Great War Journey to the West” – Gamota, this title is expected to be a card battle game with content revolving around the narrative of “Journey to the West” and its associated elements. However, “Monkey King: Great War Journey to the West” will stand out compared to many previous titles based on “Journey to the West,” as this game is developed on an anime-style platform. This means players will encounter a different version of “Sun Wukong,” providing a unique experience rather than strictly following the original narrative as seen in traditional adaptations. This is a refreshing approach to make it more appealing to the current gaming audience, especially Gen Z.
Currently, “Monkey King: Great War Journey to the West” – Gamota allows players to register for in-game events before receiving gifts related to the game.
