As reported by Bloomberg, according to Daniel Wu from Hero Games, the largest external shareholder in Game Science, they aim to create a DLC similar to Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, both in terms of content and scale, as well as sales. The hope is that the first DLC spurs even more sales for Black Myth: Wukong's success while allowing players to return to the role of the Destined One.
