This paper conducts a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of "Black Myth: Wukong" as a cultural phenomenon that surpasses the realm of mere entertainment and emerges as a significant locus for knowledge production, cultural innovation and transmission, and the construction of philosophical discourse. Employing an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates game studies, cultural communication theory, and digital humanities, the researchers analyze how this pioneering Chinese 3A game has redefined the paradigms of cultural transmission in the digital age. The research systematically examines three crucial dimensions: the transformation of knowledge production mechanisms within game-mediated setting; the game's innovative strategies for the "creative transformation" and "innovative development" of traditional Chinese culture; its function as a cross-cultural cognitive medium that promotes dialogue between civilizations; and new theoretical frameworks for cultural knowledge production based on integrated review methods by identifying research gaps and pinpointing future directions at the intersection of game studies, cultural communication, and digital philosophy. With a thorough interdisciplinary illumination, this paper establishes theoretical linkages among game studies, cultural transmission, and philosophical interpretation, presenting a robust framework for comprehending the new mechanisms of Chinese cultural globalization in the digital era.
