Game Science, the developer of the hit game Black Myth: Wukong, is working on an Elden Ring-style expansion before considering a sequel. This exciting news follows the game’s record-breaking launch, which saw it sell an impressive 18 million copies in just two weeks, generating over $700 million in revenue.

Massive Sales Figures

A Bloomberg report highlighted the extraordinary success of Black Myth: Wukong, noting its achievement in setting Steam concurrent records upon its launch last month. The game has now reached around $800 million in revenue, making it one of the fastest-selling games of all time.

Expansion Plans

Fans will be thrilled to learn that Game Science is already planning an expansion for Black Myth: Wukong. According to Bloomberg, the expansion will follow the lead of Elden Ring, which saw a significant DLC called Shadow of the Erdtree launch two years after the base game. This strategy aims to monetize the game further and sustain its popularity.

Future of the Series

The expansion won’t take another six years to develop, as confirmed by Daniel Wu, Hero Games’ boss. The new content will provide fresh gameplay experiences and keep the community engaged while setting the stage for future installments based on Chinese mythology.

The delay of Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox is attributed to an exclusivity deal with Sony rather than any technical issues with Microsoft’s consoles. A Microsoft spokesperson expressed excitement about the game’s eventual launch on Xbox Series X and S.

Gameplay Highlights

IGN has reported on various aspects of Black Myth: Wukong, including a secret feature that allows players to summon one boss to defeat another. The game has also been praised for its challenging early bosses and intricate combat mechanics. IGN’s review awarded the game an 8/10, citing its fantastic combat, exciting bosses, and beautiful world despite some technical issues.
