One of the most hyped games in recent years, Black Myth: Wukong, finally debuted on August 20th to an incredible fan reception. Quickly making the most of that momentum, the game managed to reach enough concurrent players to become the most-played single-player title on Steam!

Adding to its achievements, the RPG sold more than 10 million copies within three days of its launch and topped PlayStation Store sheets. However, developer Game Science is planning to take things to the next level by bringing an expansion that’s going to absolutely wreck Elden Ring‘s Shadow of the Erdtree!

There’s no doubt that Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most ambitious projects we’ve ever seen. What’s even more shocking is that before this title, Game Science had never dipped its toes into AAA game development.
While the game looks phenomenal and plays just like any AAA in the market, it’s far from its full potential as of now. Due to the fact Game Science was restricted to a budget, they cut a lot of content from the game.
Initially, the game was supposed to ship with 13 chapters but ended up only receiving six long chapters. According to one of the reputable leakers in the community, the studio will offer the remaining chapters as DLCs, completing the legendary action RPG.
Game Science aims to launch 2 DLC’s for BM:W before the release of their next game, Black Myth: Jiang Ziya.
The game was meant to have 13 chapters, but they released only 6 longer chapters because of the budget.

These seven chapters for Black Myth: Wukong will feature more than 100 unique boss battles, plenty of new adventures, and epic cinematic sequences that outright challenge the Elden Ring DLC.
Game Science has transformed in multiple ways since Black Myth: Wukong was first revealed. The development team has grown in size, and the studio decided to make the crucial switch to Unreal Engine 5, which certainly improved the experience.
When you add budget limitations to all these factors, it leads to chunks of the game not making it to the final build. However, now that Black Myth: Wukong has sold more than 18 million copies, the developers can continue elevating the experience and truly leave their mark on the industry.
When is Black Myth: Wukong DLC Coming Out?

With its incredible success, modding scene, and community, Black Myth: Wukong has managed to set a precedent for new IPs in the gaming landscape.
According to reputable analyst Daniel Camilo, sources close to Game Science suggest that an expansion for the popular game will debut near the Chinese New Year, which is supposed to happen on January 29th, 2025. This means the DLC will be available to purchase right at the end of January or sometime in February.

That is, right at the end of January, or very soon after.
This is according to very reliable first hand sources I heard from.

While it’s great to see even more content for the game, we must keep our expectations in check. Game Science still hasn’t announced anything officially related to a DLC or revealed its development status.
As we’ve seen in the past, such sorts of things can always get pushed back due to various issues. At the moment, we still don’t have the game’s Xbox Series S/X version, which is currently the company’s top priority.
With that said, would you like to see anything special in the rumored Black Myth: Wukong DLC? If so, let us know in the comments below.
