According to Game Science, this action RPG was created in about six years. During these six years, the team went through various changes to expand the studio and prepare for AAA development.

The $70 million figure is interesting since many AAA productions usually cost a lot more. Despite its limited budget, fans found the action RPG quite enjoyable and rivaling many other releases that cost upwards of $100 million.

Because the budget was relatively low, Black Myth: Wukong has been highly profitable. The 18 million sales have translated to nearly $1 billion in revenue. Consequently, the studio has confirmed the development of DLC.
