Black Myth: Wukong, the Chinese action RPG that has captivated the gaming world, is on track for a truly astronomical sales milestone. The game, developed by Game Science and backed by a $70 million budget, has been in the works for six years and has already garnered immense popularity. Following its launch, it topped both Steam and the PlayStation Store charts for over a week, quickly achieving 10 million sales. While not yet available on Xbox platforms, likely due to a deal with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Wukong has already made a significant impact on the global gaming market. In just two weeks, the game has surpassed 18 million sales across PlayStation 5 and PC, putting it on par with the latest Zelda title. Daniel Wu, a prominent investor in Game Science, expressed his confidence that Wukong can achieve even greater success, reaching a total of 30 million sales in its lifetime. To achieve this ambitious goal, Game Science plans to expand upon the existing game with additional content, alongside the highly anticipated Xbox release. While exact details about the expansions and their release timeframe remain undisclosed, the game’s current trajectory suggests that 30 million sales is a realistic target. Wukong’s impressive sales on PlayStation 5 and PC, coupled with the potential for a massive Xbox audience, and the planned expansions, are likely to contribute significantly to the game’s long-term success. Despite the game’s phenomenal success, Game Hero, the publisher of Black Myth: Wukong, is currently not profitable. However, with Wukong’s ongoing sales momentum and planned expansions, profitability is expected to change in the future.
