Exciting News! Black Myth: Wukong - DLC Release Window Leaked

The highly anticipated first DLC for Black Myth: Wukong from Game Science is rumored to launch in early 2025, just in time for the Chinese New Year celebrations. If these reports hold true, the game could see two major expansions, packed with fresh content, following its blockbuster success.

Black Myth: Wukong, which launched on August 20 for PlayStation 5 and PC, quickly became one of the biggest gaming hits of 2024. In just two weeks, the game sold over 18 million copies worldwide, generating an impressive $700 million in revenue. PlayStation also confirmed that it was the most downloaded PS5 game in North America, Europe, and Japan for August 2024. As one of the fastest-selling new IPs of all time, Black Myth: Wukong has set a new standard for debut games, and its popularity could carry over into the release of its first DLC.

Rumored Release Window for Black Myth: Wukong DLC

Gaming analyst Daniel Camilo recently shared on Twitter that sources close to Game Science suggest the DLC will drop around the Chinese New Year, which falls on January 29, 2025. This could mean a late January or early February release, although no specific date has been confirmed. Details about the DLC’s storyline and content are still under wraps, leaving fans eager for more information.

According to Camilo, Black Myth: Wukong has already surpassed 20 million units sold as of September 2024, with 70% of those sales coming from China. He estimates that about 20% of the total player base—roughly four million people—will purchase the upcoming DLC. However, Camilo suggests that the initial surge in sales driven by "novelty and national pride" may not be as significant when the DLC arrives. He also noted that the game’s high difficulty might deter some casual players from continuing their journey and investing in the new content.

What to Expect from the DLC

Despite the excitement surrounding the rumored DLC, Game Science has yet to officially announce or confirm its development status. Speculation suggests that two major expansions are in the works, and fans are also eagerly awaiting the Xbox Series X|S version of Black Myth: Wukong, which still has no confirmed release date.

As fans anticipate more news, the potential DLC release in early 2025 has many players excited for what’s next in the Black Myth: Wukong saga.
