Dino Ying stayed the course on esports and Black Myth: Wukong | interview

Dino Ying has been a patient leader. As chairman of Hero Esports (formerly VSPO) and Hero Games, he has had to endure a long period of investment before getting much hope of a payoff. Yet Hero Esports is coming into its own with backing from Saudi Arabia, and Hero Games has had a good run as publisher of Game Science‘s hit triple-A action adventure game, Black Myth: Wukong.

In China, Hero Esports has growth to 70% of the market share for esports in China, with big efforts streaming the Esports World Cup. And Black Myth: Wukong managed to sell 20 million units on the PC and PlayStation in just a month starting back in August 2024.
