The most popular topic of Black Myth: Wukong at the present time is nothing other than the release time of DLC versions.
Previously, many sources confirmed that almost all of the DLC for Black Myth: Wukong has been completed, and it is likely that DLC 1 will be released during this Lunar New Year. However, when Tet is near, Black Myth: Wukong gamers seem to be “offside” with the above information.
And recently, another timeline appeared that was firmly confirmed to be the time when the first DLC of Black Myth: Wukong appears.
Accordingly, on Reddit, a gamer confirmed that he has a cousin who is working for a game company outsourced by Game Science and here, revealed to him a lot of secret information as below.
_ Almost the entire GS team went to the fish hotpot restaurant to celebrate the sales the first week after release (the cousin in the story also came along).
_ There are 2 DLCs planned, each DLC consists of 3 chapters. The first DLC is expected to launch on August 20, 2025. The teaser will be announced during the Lunar New Year (remember that August 20 is also the time when Black Myth: Wukong officially launches).
_ There will be 2-3 DLC pre-releases, aimed at improving performance and adding additional modes like boss rush. Coop/pvp modes are being heavily debated internally and we may not see them in the near future.
_ The first DLC will be the size of chapters 2,3,5 of the base game, with several new areas in the base game.
_ A new set of armor (unknown) and a new weapon (spear, taken from Na Tra) in the first DLC.
_ GS's art director is currently leading a team in Dunhuang and Tibet to find more inspiration, these locations are famous in China for their rich culture related to Buddhism.
_ Bad news about XBOX, GS originally wanted to publish on XBOX but Microsoft doesn't seem to respond. Now they send in two people to help with optimization. The performance is really bad, on XSX you only get 30 fps, on XSS it's about 7 – 12. So GS also has a dedicated team working with those 2 people from MS, but don't know how things will turn out how.
_ GS wants a total of 108 souls to transform. Now we have 54 soul transformations and 10 magical transformations. There are still 44 more for the 2 DLCs. Let's say a DLC you get 22, perhaps 20 new souls and 2 new spells. So there will be around 30 bosses per DLC. Like an average of 10 in each chapter.
It is unknown how accurate the information from this “cousin” is, but this is also an opportunity for Black Myth: Wukong fans to have more reason to wait. For now, we should probably wait and see if there are any new teasers for the game this Lunar New Year.
