Black Myth Wukong is confirmed to be betting physical editions “very soon” according to Game Science. The popular 2024 action game released back in August but at the time, was only available digitally on PS5 and PC. Fans have pressured Game Science to release a physical version and the studio says it is on the way.
According to Game Science, the physical version of Black Myth Wukong is ready. The master disc has been completed and will now be sent out for distribution. This means the disc will now be replicated and manufactured while game boxes are printed and assembled.
At the moment Game Science hasn’t confirmed an exact release date for the disc version. The studio said in a post on social media that it will be available “very soon”. The image included a monkey holding a disc.
The Xbox version of Black Myth Wukong will likely be released at a different time. According to the ESRB, the port was only recently rated for the console. Game Science hasn’t provided any update on the Xbox Series X/S development. However, the game rating might be good news that things are moving along.
There was a lot of debate over the Xbox delay of Black Myth Wukong. Fans speculated that Game Science was struggling to get the game running on the Xbox Series S. Others believed Sony had an exclusive deal with the developer to restrict the launch to PS5 for a limited time. This, however, wasn’t disclosed – if true.
We know that Game Science is working on DLC for Black Myth Wukong. The DLC will span multiple chapters and come with new story segments, bosses and gear. However, there’s been no announcement on the release window for that content yet.
