Fans eager for new content from Game Science left disappointed
Anticipation continues to mount for Black Myth: Wukong, one of the most buzzed-about Chinese action RPGs in recent memory. So, when supposed gameplay footage for a DLC surfaced online, fans were quick to speculate on its legitimacy. The footage appeared convincing enough to stir excitement and debate, but unfortunately for hopeful players, it turned out to be a fan-made project.
Uploaded to bilibili and tagged as “fan art,” the video was eventually confirmed by Game Science as unofficial. Despite its impressive quality and strong visual ties to Journey to the West, the footage does not reflect any upcoming downloadable content (DLC) from the developer.
Two DLCs Are Still on the Horizon Before Black Myth: Jang Xia
No release window yet, but official content is confirmed to be coming
Although this leak was debunked, fans do have confirmation that Game Science plans to release two official DLCs for Black Myth: Wukong prior to the sequel, Black Myth: Jang Xia. However, no concrete details or timelines have been provided. The lack of updates has only fueled speculation and raised fan expectations, making any leak—real or fake—a hot topic.

The fan-made video cleverly incorporated characters and scenes inspired by Journey to the West—the same literary source that Black Myth: Wukong draws from. This attention to detail led many viewers to believe the footage could be a legitimate early leak. Some fans even argued that the rough visuals could be chalked up to unfinished development, while others remained skeptical due to inconsistent quality.

Conclusion: No Official Gameplay Yet, But Hope Remains
Despite the disappointment surrounding the fake leak, enthusiasm for Black Myth: Wukong remains high. With two DLCs promised before the release of Black Myth: Jang Xia, fans are holding out hope for an official reveal in the near future.
