Black Myth: Wukong surpasses 25 million sales

After six months on the market, award-winning soulslike, Black Myth: Wukong, has surpassed 25 million sales across the globe. The game is still only available on PC and PS5.

Analysis firm Niko Partners (via GamingBolt) reports the milestone, which is up by a staggering five million since last time we checked. Moreover, the success trickled down to Tmall, a Chinese flagship store that generated around $410,000 in just three days through the sale of figurines and more.

The success of the Tmall store even led to Game Science forming a dedicated team to produce and market the merchandise. In terms of the game itself, it’s not too surprising that it continues to sell like hotcakes. The story is not over, with DLC in the works.

In our review, we said: “Black Myth: Wukong is a technical feat that deserves attention. Not only does it deliver on outstanding graphical settings, it also sends players to different locations and environments that all look just as stunning as the last.”
