Have you finished obliterating the bosses in Black Myth Wukong? If you’re itching for more content for the action game, we might be hearing more about it soon per developer Game Science’s latest teaser.

This week, Black Myth Wukong won the Ultimate Game of the Year award at The Golden Joystick awards, and the acceptance speech by game director Feng Ji included more than just thanking the people who voted for his game to win the coveted award.

Game Science Has Surprises Planned for Black Myth Wukong Players Before 2024 Ends

In his acceptance speech, Ji said “Of course, you might have already completed our game. That’s perfectly fine too, Keep following us, and there might just be some surprises waiting for you later this year.” That sure sounds like a new content announcement. Could this be an expansion or a major title update that aims to add new features and whatnot? We can’t say for sure, but at the very least, Black Myth Wukong players have something to look forward to before the year is over.

For those who’ve yet to pick up the boss-filled action game, our sister site TheGamer mentions in their review how “it’s a must-play for anyone that enjoys a good soulslike,” and adds,”It’s also perfect for anyone with soulslike fatigue and weary of the brutal difficulty that usually comes with them.”

If you’d rather buy a physical version of the game, you won’t be waiting long, as it’s planned to ship out this December, and the disc will have the game’s actual data, and won’t require an internet connection to play. For those wondering why this is a big deal, most disc releases these days only house the activation code on the actual disc, with the player prompted to download the data online once the disc has been inserted into the console. Thankfully, that won’t be the case with Black Myth Wukong.
