- Black Myth: Wukong has officially sold about 18 million copies.
- Game Science confirms that this project required six years of development and a $70 million budget.
- The team has already made 10x as much money through initial sales, so it will expand the IP with DLC in the future.
The Black Myth: Wukong success story continues. A new report from Bloomberg confirms official details on the action RPG after it broke records across Steam and earned very positive review scores.
Game Science has confirmed that 18 million units have been sold so far. Moreover, the team has confirmed that it spent about $70 million on this release.
Why it matters: Gaming budgets are growing out of control today. A release like Black Myth: Wukong shows how the gaming industry can solve this problem.
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.
Game Science is moving forward with the same ambition that made Black Myth: Wukong such a standout hit. It intends to provide even more immersive experiences for fans in the future.
Because of its recent success, the developer’s name is now edged in everyone’s mind. Fans are looking forward to seeing where the Destined One’s journey will take him next.
