Black Myth: Wukong Dev Declares 'Surpises' Still in Store for 2024

DLC, perhaps; an Xbox release, perchance

Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science still has "some surprises" up its sleeve, indicating that all shall be revealed before the end of the year. Speculation is split on whether this might mean the inevitable Xbox release (obviously less relevant to our target audience) or the announcement of an expansion or DLC. Having just secured Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards and shifted a mind-bending 20 million copies in its first month, we'd say the world is currently Game Science's oyster.

Speaking of the Golden Joysticks, it was at the show that studio co-founder Feng Ji addressed the audience in a pre-recorded message (thanks, IGN). Ji implored those who have not purchased the game to do so, and for those who already have, teased this: "Of course, you might have already completed our game. That’s perfectly fine, too. Keep following us, and there might be some surprises waiting for you later this year."

I'm betting it's an Xbox release considering we had new ratings appear for an Xbox version recently.

Yeah, I'd be suprised if they aren't planning some kind of dlc/expc. Even if only 20-30% of install base picks it up it's still a sh*tload of money to leave on the table.

Feels too soon for any substantial DLC 🤔 Maybe a few in-game items or a single quest or something. One of the surprises could be a PS5 Pro patch perhaps? Maybe some sort of crossover? Anything could happen these days 😅

Maybe a Pro patch or hell maybe they could actually improve and fix the PS5 version instead of ignoring it for months. Its a good game but its laughable its even being talked about as GOTY worthy.

I've taken a little hiatus from wukong and I've been playing the HZD remaster. I'd like to see an expansion for this even though I've not finished the game (near the halfway stage of the last chapter.) I'd also like to see a pro patch for those who purchased the ps5 Pro as I think it would benefit from the extra grunt.

@DennisReynolds not sure why you think that as it performs better than elden ring does now and that was a goty nominee. And it looks better too.

@Northern_munkey Performs better though not really as Elden Ring feels better due to Black Myth faking the 60fps. Its also got awful over sharpening on performance mode that ruins the visuals. Digital Foundry do a fantastic breakdown on the many visual and performance issues the game has on PS5.

I also disagree it looks better then Elden Ring why? Black Myth has no real art style its just generic forest, generic desert/rocky area and so on. From a technical sense it looks better i guess but art design is way more important and the art design of ER is fantastic especially in the expansion that has some incredible sights to behold. That said the bosses and enemy design of Black Myth are really strong in the game and a clear high point.
