Oasis Games Ltd., a leading global game publisher, announced at ChinaJoy 2018 that the first game produced cooperatively by Chinese and Japanese development teams, Monkey King: Hero Is Back, is scheduled to release first in China for PlayStation®4 in early 2019, with other regions to follow at a later date.
Basing on the 2015 animated movie of the same name which broke records as the highest-grossing animated film in China at the time of release with a box office of $153 million, Monkey King: Hero Is Back depicts the journey shared by three main characters: Monkey King, Pigsy and the child character, Liu Jiang. These figures fight many different monsters using varied skills and magic alongside their cooperation and shared individual wisdom. As the journey continues, the relationships among three characters are greatly enhanced, and they find the missing puzzles of their own individual lives.
