Black Myth: Wukong, the action RPG from Game Science, has made a massive impact in the gaming world, reportedly amassing between USD 700 and 800 million in revenue. Since its launch, the game has shattered records and garnered widespread acclaim.

Released on August 20, Black Myth: Wukong quickly captivated fans and set a new benchmark as the most-played single-player game on Steam. The game sold over 10 million copies within just three days. Recent updates indicate that its financial success has only grown since then.

According to a Bloomberg report, Black Myth: Wukong has earned USD 700 million in revenue after selling over 18 million copies within the first two weeks. This impressive figure dwarfs the initial development investment of USD 70 million, which was allocated over six years. Analyst Daniel Ahmad, who provided these figures, later updated the revenue estimate to approximately USD 800 million as of September 5.

With its substantial budget, Black Myth: Wukong is poised to generate even more profit. Daniel Wu of Hero Games, a major investor in Game Science, revealed to Bloomberg that the game is projected to reach 30 million sales over its lifetime. This forecast is bolstered by anticipated expansions, which align with recent leaks suggesting DLC content in the works.

While PC and PS5 players are eagerly anticipating the upcoming DLC, Xbox gamers are still awaiting the game’s release on their platform. The delay has been attributed to various factors, including a potential PS5 exclusivity deal. As Black Myth: Wukong continues to thrive, Xbox fans remain hopeful for a timely launch on their console. The exact timing of the Xbox release remains uncertain.
