Rumors Surface About Possible Black Myth Wukong DLC In Progress

With Black Myth: Wukong on the horizon, many eagerly anticipate Game Science reimagining the classic Chinese story as a new, action-packed Souls-like game. However, as is often the case in the gaming world, speculation about the future is already brewing, and there are whispers of a potential DLC for Black Myth: Wukong.

Though it remains unconfirmed, there are growing suspicions that the developers might be preparing additional content for the game. So let’s delve into the details and consider the possibility of a Black Myth: Wukong DLC arriving in the future.

Recent Rumors Suggest A Black Myth Wukong DLC is Being Considered Already

In a recent post on the GamingLeaksandRumours subreddit, user IcePopsicleDragon shared insights from prominent Chinese leaker Lunatic Ignus about Black Myth: Wukong. According to this leak, the game is expected to offer a substantial 40-50 hour completion time. The combat will emphasize dashing and rolling, and there are plans for physical releases within a year, along with a 4K 60 FPS version for the PS5.

The most notable detail is that Game Science is already contemplating expansions or DLCs, depending on the success of the base game—similar to how Lies of P approached the possibility of additional content. This aligns with previous reports from IGN that Game Science plans to build a Black Myth universe akin to the MCU, with each game exploring different stories from Chinese mythology.

Considering the success of DLCs in other Souls games, such as The Ringed City for Dark Souls III and Shadow of the Erdtree for Elden Ring, it seems plausible that Black Myth: Wukong could eventually feature DLCs as it has Souls-like elements. However, unlike FromSoftware, which has a strong fanbase and proven track record with DLCs, Game Science will need to gauge player reception before deciding if additional content is warranted.

Game Science will likely evaluate fan reactions to Black Myth: Wukong upon its release before making any decisions about DLCs. Given the impressive previews we've seen, there's a strong possibility that the game will receive additional content if it meets expectations. Until then, we'll have to wait and see if Black Myth: Wukong becomes a beloved title with more to offer.
