After the massive success of this game, it’s no wonder Game Science is planning to capitalize on its popularity.


It’s rumored that the first significant expansion pack for the game “Black Myth: Wukong” by Game Science is slated to launch in early 2025, coinciding with Chinese New Year festivities. If the whispers prove true, “Black Myth: Wukong” will reportedly see two major DLC releases, enriching the game with a wealth of new content.

Launched on August 20 for both PlayStation 5 and PC, Black Myth: Wukong rapidly emerged as one of the most lucrative video games in 2024, selling more than 18 million copies globally within two weeks after its debut. The game has also generated approximately $700 million in revenue. Furthermore, Sony confirmed that Black Myth: Wukong was the most downloaded PlayStation 5 title of August 2024 in North America, Europe, and Japan. This groundbreaking new IP has set a record for swift sales among video games, and its success may continue with the upcoming release of its first DLC.

Based on tweets from gaming analyst Daniel Camilo, it appears that Game Science may be planning to release downloadable content (DLC) for the game “Black Myth: Wukong” around the time of Chinese New Year celebrations in 2025. This festivity is scheduled for January 29, 2025. However, it’s important to note that a specific release date has not been confirmed yet. Additionally, details about the story and content of the DLC have not been disclosed at this time.

Black Myth: Wukong DLC Could Release in January 2025

  • A release is reportedly planned around the Chinese New Year celebration on January 29, 2025.
  • Information about the DLC’s story and content is still unknown.

Camilo claims that Black Myth: Wukong sales have already surpassed 20 million units as of September 2024, with 70% of total sales coming from the player base in China. The analyst estimates that around 20% of the game’s total player base, or roughly four million players, will purchase the upcoming DLC. According to Camilo, “novelty and national pride” are factors that contributed to Black Myth: Wukong’s strong initial sales, but this will play less of a role once the DLC is close to releasing. The game’s challenging nature is also considered as a factor, since millions of casual gamers in China may not be interested in purchasing the DLC if they do not proceed further with their Black Myth: Wukong playthrough.

It’s important to mention that the creators of Black Myth: Wukong haven’t yet publicly revealed any details or given updates on the development of new DLCs, although there are whispers in the gaming community suggesting two significant expansions might be in the works. Additionally, we know that the Xbox Series X|S version of Black Myth: Wukong is still scheduled for release, but a specific date has yet to be announced, similar to the DLC.
