Black Myth: Wukong has been causing quite a stir since his reveal. The game's promotions hyped players up even before launch, and when it finally did, it was exactly what fans had hoped it would be. It has now not only been nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards, but has already won the Ultimate Game Of The Year at the Golden Joystick Awards.

Was he nominated because he was truly outstanding or because he made a lot of money?
While this was clearly a highlight for Wukong fans, game director Feng Ji had another surprise in his acceptance speech. We already know that the game will receive additional content in January 2025, but the speech revealed that fans have a lot to look forward to before the end of the year.
Black Myth: Wukong fans will get a surprise later this year
In his acceptance speech, Feng Ji thanked the fans for showing their love to Wukong. “It's your unwavering support and trust that helped us overcome all the challenges and hardships and allowed us to finally step into this uncharted territory. If you haven't played Black Myth Wukong yet, you're in luck. Now you have one more reason to try it.
“Of course, maybe you've already finished our game. That's totally fine too, keep following us and you might just have some surprises in store for you later this year.”
No word on what that surprise might be. We already know the game is getting a physical edition, and we've already mentioned DLC planned for early next year, so your guess is as good as ours. Maybe Black” Myth Wukong could get an arena mode. Fans already love the fluid combat and this would be a great way to keep training until the DLC launches.
While a lot of people loved the game, Black Myth: Wukong has the lowest rating of any game ever nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards. That doesn't mean he doesn't deserve his nomination. The game brought great spectacle, fun fights, and some elements that even the popular triple-A western titles lacked.
Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG rooted in Chinese mythology and based on Journey to the West, one of the four great classic novels of Chinese literature.
You will set out as Destined to embark on the challenges and wonders that await you to uncover the hidden truth beneath the veil of a famous legend from the past.
As the Destined One, you will encounter powerful enemies and worthy rivals along your journey. Fearlessly engage them in epic battles where surrender is out of the question.
In addition to mastering different staff techniques, you can also freely combine different spells, abilities, weapons, and equipment to find a winning strategy that best suits your fighting style.
