BYD said on Sisters Sex ScandalSunday that it has signed an exclusive partnership contract with Black Myth: Wukong, a move that could create buzz for the electric vehicle major thanks to the huge success of the hit Chinese action game. As part of the global strategic collaboration agreement, BYD will work with Game Science, the developer behind Black Myth: Wukong, to create digital records for heritage assets, according to an announcement. The two companies will first head to the northern Chinese province of Shanxi, the setting for Black Myth: Wukong, to capture and record data on cultural relics and heritage sites using scanning technologies under the guidance of local museums. More plans for heritage documentation will be released to help preserve cultural heritage for future generations, the companies said. Game Science reached 12th place in Steam’s top publisher rankings and earned $1 billion with the success of China’s first triple-A game, according to a recent update on Gamalytic, a Steam statistics platform.
