Black Myth Wukong DLC Release Time

Released on August 20 for PlayStation 5 and PC, Black Myth: Wukong quickly became one of 2024’s most successful game releases. PlayStation has also confirmed that Black Myth: Wukong was the most downloaded PlayStation 5 game of August 2024 in North America, Europe, and Japan. Black Myth: Wukong sets a precedent for new IPs as one of the fastest selling games of all time, and its momentum may carry over into the release of the game’s first DLC.

According to gaming analyst Daniel Camilo on Twitter, sources close to Game Science claim that Black Myth Wukong DLC will release sometime near Chinese New Year festivities, which take place on January 29, 2025. This means that the DLC could release at the very end of January or sometime soon after in February.

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.

There are currently only rumors are going around about upcoming Black Myth Wukong DLC. Rumors suggest that two major DLCs for Black Myth: Wukong are planned, and the game’s Xbox Series X|S version is still coming soon. Like the DLC, Black Myth: Wukong for Xbox Series X|S does not have a release date.
