It looks like Black Myth: Wukong will publish its first DLC in Gamescom 2025
Black Myth: Wukong is a role-and-action video game, developed and distributed by Game Science, a Chinese studio. It is based on the classic 16th-century novel, Journey to the West, which has the Sun Wukong monkey as its protagonist. Its premiere took place on August 20, 2024, only for PC and PlayStation 5, waiting still for a version for the gamers of the Xbox Series X-S family.
Two days after launch, the game surpassed the 2.4 million simultaneous players on Steam, positioning itself as the second most popular title on the platform, only behind PUBG: Battlegrounds. In addition, after a month on the market, 20 million units were sold. Popularity that doubled when it was available for the PS5, thanks to the sales of this platform in Japan.
However, success was not only commercial, as the title of Game Science was nominated in five different categories at the 2024 Game Awards, including that of the Best Game of the Year (GOTY). Finally, he won the awards for Best Action Game and Best Public Game, cementing himself as one of the winners of the evening, much more taking into account the unknown trajectory of his studio.
Now, Black Myth: Wukong is again news from the increasingly close Gamescom 2025, in Cologne, Germany, as Game Science, its developer, has confirmed its presence at the prestigious Gaming fair. This is what we know about the possible developments that the Chinese company could reveal at the most important, influential, and large video game event in Europe and its gaming market.
Is Black Myth’s first DL?
DLC (downloadable content) is a type of content that premieres post-release of a delivery, to enhance gameplay or improve gameplay. That’s precisely what fans expect from Game Science’s participation in Gamescom 2025.
This relevant video game fair will take place from August 20-24, but will have an Opening Night Live presented by Geoff Keighley on Monday, 19, in which the Chinese studio will have a few minutes to present its news. Will it be a DLC of Black Myth: Wukong?
While downloadable content of this game was announced by Game Science itself almost a year ago, it is not yet possible to say with complete certainty that Gamescom is the place chosen by Gaming’s company to show this type of information.

When will Black Myth: Wukong arrive for Xbox?
In December 2024, Black Myth: Wukong received a free upgrade with the Boss Rush mode. And since then, he has dedicated himself to expansion patches to improve the experience of PlayStation 5 Pro players and their image rescaling.
However, Game Science has already confirmed that on August 20, 2025, one day after its participation at Gamescom and one year after its original release, the Monkey King video game will arrive for Xbox Series X|S users.
In the words of the CEO of the Chinese multinational, the port for Xbox gaming systems was delayed so much by problems with optimizing for the Xbox Series S version. Let’s remember that this platform is significantly less powerful than the X Series.
