Black Myth: Wukong Dev Teases Upcoming 'Surprises'

Key Takeaways

  • Black Myth: Wukong’s producer Feng Ji hinted at “some surprises” possibly coming to the game “later this year.”
  • Many believe that Game Science is aiming to release DLC content near the Chinese New Year, which falls on January 29, 2025.
  • While an Xbox Series X/S port of the game is planned, no release date has been announced.

As a dedicated fan who has been following this game since its early announcements, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation at the prospect of more content for Black Myth: Wukong. The game has already made history as one of the most successful indie releases in recent times, and it’s heartening to see that Game Science is not resting on their laurels.

The producer of Black Myth: Wukong, Feng Ji, has hinted that there may be some exciting announcements for the game before the end of the year. Ji, who is the founder-CEO of Game Science, the developer behind Black Myth: Wukong, seemed to suggest possible post-launch content for the game during a recent awards ceremony.

In the past year, the highly anticipated game Black Myth: Wukong saw a grand debut in August and sold millions of copies within its first month. This strong start catapulted it to the top spot as the Steam single-player game with the most concurrent players ever, boasting over 2.4 million users playing simultaneously. Its unprecedented success earned it the Ultimate Game of the Year award at the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards and continues to garner more recognition at upcoming events.

At this year’s Golden Joystick Awards, I was thrilled to hear Game Science chief Feng Ji subtly hint at potential updates for “Black Myth: Wukong” coming soon, sparking speculation of possible DLC. Although he didn’t divulge specific details about what these updates might entail, the game director did suggest that they could cater to fans who have already completed the game and are eager for more content. The Game of the Year recognition at the Golden Joystick Awards marks the second time “Black Myth: Wukong” has received such an accolade this year, following its win at the Thailand Game Awards in October. On top of that, “Black Myth” also bagged the award for Best Visual Design at the Golden Joystick Awards. As a dedicated fan, I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Black Myth: Wukong Dev Alludes to Post-Launch Content Announcement in the Near Future

Feng Ji’s recent statements hint that the Chinese developer is about to share updates on Black Myth: Wukong within the coming weeks, which lines up with a report suggesting Game Science plans to launch DLC content around Chinese New Year, scheduled for January 29, 2025. Considering these pieces of information together, it appears likely that Ji was hinting at an imminent announcement regarding the alleged DLC expansion for Black Myth: Wukong.

The festivities for Game Science may continue as “Black Myth: Wukong” has been nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards happening on December 12. Although it lags behind other nominees in terms of critic scores, the studio is optimistic that the game rooted in Chinese mythology could secure another significant victory. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting news about the long-postponed Xbox version of “Black Myth: Wukong,” which currently lacks a release date.
