Black Myth: Wukong has sold 20 million copies

The debuting AAA game of Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong, has surpassed 20 million copies since its launch just last month. The action RPG has seen a great deal of praise from fans and critics alike.

On Twitter, GamesBeat reporter Dean Takahashi shared that PlayStation CEO Ken Kutaragi revealed the new number at the Tokyo Game Show. Last time numbers were thrown around, we heard it was akin to 18 million through an investor.

This immense success is nothing to scoff at, comparing RPGs — somewhat — it took nearly a year for Hogwarts Legacy to 22 million units sold and it’s now stagnated at around 24 million. Black Myth: Wukong has the potential to blast past 24 million, especially with a DLC in active development.

Smash Jump’s Matt Marston gave the game an 8/10 saying: ” It takes inspiration from some of the best in the genre, but does its own thing in a new way. I am impressed with the graphical fidelity of the game, but the engaging gameplay is what carries the experience.”
