Speculation Points to a Possible Black Myth: Wukong DLC Release in Early 2025

Black Myth: Wukong has experienced a tremendous wave of success since its release, and with many players still working through the game, it looks like additional content might be on the horizon. Recent reports have hinted at upcoming DLC for the game, and a potential release date has surfaced.

While these claims are speculative and Game Science has not yet confirmed anything about the DLC, it’s worth exploring the rumors. Let’s examine the recent speculation that the Black Myth: Wukong DLC could be released as early as 2025.

Rumors Hint That Black Myth: Wukong DLC Might Arrive as Early as 2025

As first reported by Geekinout, popular Chinese video game analyst Daniel Camilo suggests that the Black Myth: Wukong DLC could be arriving in early 2025, specifically at the end of January. This prediction comes from "very reliable first-hand sources," though Camilo does not provide specifics, adding a layer of speculation to the claim.

DLC for Black Myth Wukong will come out somewhere near the Chinese New Year, 2025.

That is, right at the end of January, or very soon after.

This is according to very reliable first hand sources I heard from.

Camilo points out that the timing aligns with the Chinese New Year, which could be a strategic move given that Game Science is a Chinese company. The release could also coincide with the game's growing popularity and potential Xbox release, allowing them to capitalize on the game's momentum.

However, Camilo also raises concerns about the DLC's reception. He argues that less than 20% of the total player base might purchase the DLC, citing Black Myth: Wukong's difficulty and the potential loss of novelty in the Chinese market by the time the expansion launches.

Despite these concerns, Souls-like games are currently very popular, and new players from various regions, including the West and other Eastern markets, are likely to be interested in the DLC. This sentiment is reflected in the enthusiastic responses from fans on the GamingLeaksandRumours subreddit, where many expressed strong support for the idea of a DLC. One fan suggested a physical version for the PS5 that includes the expansion, while another predicted that Wukong might be the best-selling game of 2025.

While it's still uncertain whether the Black Myth: Wukong DLC will indeed launch in early 2025, it's clear that there will be a significant number of players eager to buy it. We'll continue to provide updates and details as more information about the potential DLC release date becomes available.
