TapTechNews September 24th news, IGN recently held the 2024 annual gamer voting. Yesterday, Black Myth: Wukong topped a number of foreign games and ranked first, with a game PK winning rate reaching 86.8%, and even increased to more than 90% later.
However, this afternoon, the voting result suddenly changed significantly, dropping from 90% all the way to 70.1% (as of TapTechNews posting), directly dropping from the first place to the third place. In addition, the voting rates of Elden Ring: Golden Tree Phantom and Astro Bot increased significantly, rising to the first and fourth places respectively. The reason for this data turmoil is still unclear.
Moreover, IGN has hidden the gamer voting window and can only be accessed through a web link. In IGN's latest X tweet, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth ranked first, and the included link will jump to a new IGN official website page.
On this new IGN official website page, Black Myth: Wukong directly dropped to the fifth place, and the ranking basis became AuthorRank, which is an inexplicable author ranking, and IGN did not give a specific ranking reason.
And under the X post where IGN announced the new ranking, the popular comments are all defending Black Myth: Wukong.
As of TapTechNews posting, IGN has not given an explanation for the time being.
