Black Myth: Wukong Director Says More “Surprises” Are Coming Later This Year

The Destined One and the Cyan Loong in Black Myth: Wukong Black Myth: Wukong developer GameScience has had quite a big year, but according to the latest statement from the studio, it might not be over yet. As an action-packed retelling of the classical Chinese novel Journey to the WestBlack Myth: Wukong managed to find a global audience and garner plenty of acclaim. That momentum recently culminated in an Ultimate Game of the Year win at the Golden Joystick Awards, a major annual video game award ceremony.

As reported by EurogamerBlack Myth: Wukong game director Feng Ji shared in the Golden Joystick Awards broadcast available on the FGS YouTube channel that there might just be some surprises” later this year. The message is primarily addressed to those who have already completed Black Myth: Wukong, but it’s also part of a broad appeal to keep an eye on what GameScience is up to.

No more specifics are offered, but in the absence of hard news about future plans from GameScience, it’s still a significant announcement. Feng Ji also thanks everyone who voted for Black Myth: Wukong and delivers the final message to “play hard, rest well.

Black Myth: Wukong Has A Promising Future

A Story With Room To Expand

The Destined One from Black Myth: Wukong.

Since the release of Black Myth: Wukong, there’s been plenty of speculation about what might follow in the game’s wake. Considering both the amount of material contained in Journey to the West and reported content that was scrapped or streamlined during development, there’s a lot of potential for future updates, DLC, or sequels.

Rumors indicate that sequels to Black Myth: Wukong might ultimately cover different stories and characters from classical Chinese literature and history, but the promise of surprises before the end of the year seems more likely to correspond directly to the Destined One’s adventure. This could end up manifesting as anything from small quality-of-life updates to the announcement of a major expansion, and previous rumors of DLC planned to release around Chinese New Year could line up nicely with that.

Our Take – More Black Myth: Wukong Content Would Be Great

I wouldn’t call Black Myth: Wukong my personal game of the year, but I did find its boss fights consistently thrilling. I’d love to see how GameScience can build on the strong foundation set by Black Myth: Wukong in the future, and I’d be happy to dive back into the game if surprises are in store before the year is over.

The wording of the announcement isn’t specific enough to set any hopes too high, so I’m not going to bank on the imminent addition of a rousing adventure as Nezha or an overhaul of any of the game’s weaker points. All the same, it’s nice to have some news on the future of GameScience and Black Myth: Wukong, no matter how vague it might be.
