Cultural Heritage in Digital Entertainment: A Case Study of Black Myth: Wukong and Its Implications for the Chinese Gaming Industry

This paper uses Black Myth: Wukong as an example to explore the integration of China s gaming industry with traditional culture. The game has become a hit due to its deep exploration of traditional culture, excellent visual presentation, innovative gameplay, and highquality production, setting a benchmark for China s gaming industry. However, the Chinese gaming industry still faces challenges such as lagging production technology, insufficient innovation, and an imperfect industrial chain in the process of integrating with traditional culture. To achieve integrated development, efforts should be made to deeply explore traditional cultural resources, innovate integration forms and methods, focus on cultural connotation transmission, strengthen talent cultivation and team building, enhance international cooperation and exchange, and obtain policy support and industry guidance.
