The director of Black Myth: Wukong has hinted that the game still has some “surprises” in store for the end of 2024.

Black Myth: Wukong Teases Surprises in 2024

Available on PC, Steam Deck, and PS5 (still no Xbox release date), Black Myth: Wukong is one of the AAA titles nominated for GOTY this year. Game Science, the Chinese studio behind the action RPG, promises that there are still a few surprises to come.

While the developers have not revealed anything specific, they’ve left fans speculating.

Upon accepting the Game of the Year award at the 2024 Golden Joysticks Awards, the studio’s co-founder shared a video message that left fans eagerly anticipating what’s next. Feng Ji encouraged players to buy the game if they hadn’t already, emphasizing that now is the best time to jump in.

He also teased, “Of course, perhaps you’ve already completed our game. That’s great too. Keep following us—you might find some surprises waiting for you later this year.” This cryptic remark has sparked plenty of speculation about what the studio might be planning.

Possible Announcements

Some fans believe this could mean the Xbox version is ready, with an announcement possibly coming at The Game Awards 2024.

Others interpret Ji’s comment about players who’ve already finished the game as a clue that the surprise might be aimed at those who have completed it—perhaps new post-game content or expansions.

While these scenarios remain speculative, all signs point to something noteworthy from the studio.

The Game’s Unusual GOTY Nomination

Despite being the lowest-rated game nominated for GOTY, Black Myth: Wukong has broken records with its impressive simultaneous player count on Steam and 18 million copies sold within two weeks.

With its growing success, Black Myth: Wukong continues to hold its place as one of the top contenders for the GOTY crown alongside titles like Balatro and a breakout hit produced on a modest $42 million budget.

For now, the mystery surrounding the late 2024 surprises adds an extra layer of intrigue. Fans will have to wait for Game Science to officially reveal what’s next for this captivating ARPG.
