Charly Heude Black Myth: Wukong, the critically acclaimed soulslike game that shattered records on Steam shortly after its release, might soon receive a DLC to keep the player excitement alive.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Daniel Wu, co-founder of Hero Games, mentioned that the developers at Game Science are looking to capitalize on the game’s success by introducing additional content. Since Hero Games is the principal external stakeholder in Game Science, this news has sparked a lot of speculation among fans.

DLC Black Myth: Wukong: What We Know
Right now, it’s still uncertain what this upcoming DLC will include or when it will be available. However, the interview hinted at the success of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which demonstrated how a substantial and well-timed expansion could rejuvenate the original game’s sales.
Fans of Black Myth: Wukong are buzzing with speculation, some hoping for new bosses, an expansion of meditation zones, or fresh narrative content that goes beyond combat.
A DLC Coming Sooner Than Expected
According to Daniel Wu, the next DLC for Black Myth: Wukong won’t take the six years of development that the main game required. The new additions will continue to draw inspiration from the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology, which is a hallmark of the game’s universe.
For eager players, this is exciting news, especially considering the game’s initial $70 million development budget has already been more than recouped, with revenues surpassing $800 million.
The Game’s Impressive Success
Black Myth: Wukong sold a staggering 18 million copies on PC (via Steam) and PlayStation 5 within just two weeks of its release. The game has generated over $700 million in revenue, far exceeding the developers’ initial expectations.
This phenomenal success has drawn comparisons to other blockbuster titles in the industry, such as Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, known for their record-breaking sales.
