Black Myth Wukong microtransactions

While Black Myth Wukong is a single-player game, and we haven’t heard anything about microtransactions for it, that doesn’t mean it won’t be in the game in the future. This is something Game Science has recently clarified alongside other things.

On the game’s pre-order FAQ, the studio notes they might release DLC and “non-pay-to-win” in-game purchases (microtransactions) in the future, and even tells gamers to take a screenshot of their FAQ as a statement.

Black Myth: Wukong employs a classic one-time purchase model with a one-time payment. In the future, we may release DLCs and NON-PAY-TO-WIN in-game purchases. (Additionally, we encourage everyone to take a screenshot of this statement as our guarantee.)

While this is not a guarantee that we’ll see DLC or microtransactions for Black Myth Wukong, don’t be surprised if we see it announced in the near future or once the game releases. If the microtransactions are just cosmetic items, I gather, most players won’t have a problem with that, no? Same with DLC, if the full game feels complete, I doubt anyone would balk if they announced more content for it in the future.

Elsewhere in the FAQ, Game Science confirms that the Xbox Series X|S versions will be delayed, and the release date will be announced as soon as the game meets their quality standards.

PC and PS5 users can enjoy the full game starting August 20, 2024. We are currently optimizing the Xbox Series X|S version to meet our quality standards, so it won’t release simultaneously with the other platforms. We apologize for the delay and aim to minimize the wait for Xbox users. We will announce the release date as soon as it meets our quality standards.

In other Black Myth Wukong news, the game’s Collector’s Edition and Deluxe Edition have been revealed, which you can read about here to see what’s in it.

Black Myth Wukong releases this August 20 on the PS5 and PC, with the Xbox version soon to be released. Once the release date for Xbox is know, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
