One year after Black Myth: Wukong shattered records and Soulslike conventions, the Destined Ones are left howling in the wind. Game Science’s mythical juggernaut – a blistering fusion of Chinese folklore, acrobatic carnage, and UE5 wizardry – promised DLC glory. Instead? Crickets, delays, and a sequel gut-punch at Gamescom 2025. Now, with whispers of a 2026 drop fueling TGA speculation, leaked chapters and boss rosters hint at redemption. But after Feng Ji’s bombshell Weibo confession, is this expansion cursed… or the spark to reclaim Wukong’s throne?
Flashback to August 20, 2024: Black Myth: Wukong erupts on PS5 and PC, clocking 10 million sales in three days – fastest in history. By January 2025, 25 million units worldwide, $1B+ revenue, dominating Steam charts in 100+ countries. Critics raved (81 Metacritic): “A spectacle of boss-slaying fury,” IGN gushed, while players devoured 80+ demigod encounters, staff-spinning transformations, and a 40-hour odyssey through Journey to the West. PS5 alone hit 5M; PC skewed China-heavy (70% sales). Game Science, Shenzhen upstarts, birthed a phenomenon – but post-launch? Patches galore (October 2025’s 93.5GB PS5 behemoth fixed FPS woes), Xbox port August 20, 2025… and DLC vaporware.
Hope flickered July 2024: Director Feng Ji confirmed DLC in RULIWEB interview. “We’re crafting new mythological tales and gameplay,” he teased at a September investor meet. Leaks from Steam datamines (September 2024) exploded: TWO expansions, six chapters total (7-13), ballooning playtime. First: “Rise Again” or “Four Miserable Seas” – underwater realms? Kingdom of Women? Heavenly Court siege? Bosses? Lion-Camel Ridge’s Three Demon Kings, Gold/Silver Horn Princes, Red Boy empowered by Wukong relics, Bull King’s uncut showdown, Zhenyuan Daxian revival. New weapons, spirits, transformations – Nezha teased? Co-op whispers? Size: 20-30GB each, $20-30 price.
Hype peaked: Chinese New Year 2025 teaser? Gamescom reveal? August 20, 2025 synced with Xbox launch – perfect storm. X lit up: #WukongDLC trended, fans camped Weibo. Reality? ONL August 19: Black Myth: Zhong Kui – new hero (ghost hunter Zhong Kui), fresh mechanics, “from scratch” vision. Feng Ji’s Weibo manifesto: “DLC feels trapped in old chains. Wukong’s tale ends; passion demands rebirth.” Burnout confessed – post-launch void, story constraints. DLC “postponed indefinitely.”
Fallout? Reddit r/BlackMythWukong imploded: “Sequel over DLC? Betrayal!” Top comments: Prioritize quality – rushed add-ons kill souls (Elden Ring Shadow of Erdtree praised as benchmark). X fury: 485 likes on “DLC dead?” threads. Yet optimism lingers – free updates (1.0.13 challenges) whet appetites. Merch booms: 25M sales fuel Zhong Kui (2027-28?).
2026 pivot? Insiders/YouTubers (3 days ago): Delays stem from sequel crunch, Xbox polish, UE5.9 upgrades. TGA December 12? “Statue tease fits Wukong,” Jason Schreier hints. Leaks persist: Chapter 7-9 first DLC (April 2026?), restoring cutcontent – Avalokitesvara, Jade Emperor teases. Expect: 15+ new bosses (85 total?), NG+ tweaks, photo mode polish, Switch 2 port synergy? Price: Deluxe $40 bundled. Platforms: All, day-one Game Pass?
Fandom’s split: Purists decry “greed sequel,” casuals pray for staff upgrades. X semantic surge: “DLC or riot” (post-Oct patch). Game Science silent post-Weibo – careers page swells (300+ hires). Feng Ji: “Surprises ahead.”
Wukong‘s legacy? Untouchable – GOTY noms, cultural quake (China’s gaming pride). DLC isn’t dead; it’s brewing in myth’s shadows. 2026: Boss rush apocalypse or sequel eclipse? Destined Ones, sharpen your Ruyi Jingu Bang. The monkey king’s encore awaits – if Game Science doesn’t fumble the transformation.
