Abstract

With the continuous development of social science and technology, the role of video games in cultural communication has become more and more prominent. As an emerging communication medium with both player interaction and scene immersion, video games have gradually become an important way of cultural communication in the context of globalisation. The launch of Black Myth: Wukong is an innovative reimagining of a Chinese classic, and as the first independent 3A game to break the technological monopoly, it innovatively adapts the game with Chinese characteristic elements, enriching the cultural expression. This paper analyses the game's traditional elements, technology, scenes and interactions to discover new cultural connotations arising from the changes of the times; analyses how to promote communication by presenting traditional culture through the media; focuses on the balanced relationship between technological innovation and cultural inheritance, and explores the path to a vibrant and healthy development of the cultural industry, and at the same time emphasizes the importance of bearing in mind the cultural kernel when communicating in the future, so as to provide new inspirations and archetypes for global cultural exchanges. At the same time, it emphasises the importance of bearing in mind the cultural core in future communication, so as to provide new inspirations and prototypes for global cultural exchange.
