And developer Game Science is r🍃eportedl♕y working on an expansion

Black 🦂Myth: Wukong continues to outpace the biggest of big games, as 18 mil🦂lion people have played the Monkey King action game for an estimated 27 hours each.
Black Myth: Wukong was already outperforming the likes of Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy to become 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"one of the fastest-se𝔉lling gameꦑs of all time." It had sold a whopping 10 million copies in just four days at that point. Now, two weeks in, Game Science's Chinese mythology RPG has sold another eight million copies, ꦫaccording ꧑to .
What's more impressive is Black Myth: Wukong's player retention. Those 18 million played the game for an estimated average of over 27 hours, according to estimates from VG Insights down below - and Black Myth Wukong takes around꧂ 25 hours to complete, meaning most players are sticking through❀ the tough-༒as-nail boss rush.

Analyst Daniel Ahmad later reiterated in a that Black Myth: Wukong is "one of the fastest selling games of all time," after having made "around $800 million now," only behind eꦕven more colossal hits like GTA 5 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which are both from widely known and established series.
Black Myth: Wukong first went viral worldwide years ago, but we won't need to wait quite as long for a follow-up from Game Science. The studio isn't working on a sequel just yet - Bloomberg also reports that it's instead hammering away at an expansion to Black Myth: Wukong, so it can get another Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree-esque second wind. Maybe it'll coincide with the Xbox port, which is currently stuck in a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:weird exclusivity knot.
Here’s how Black Myth: Wukong puts its own spin on the action-RPG genre.
